End of Class

So today i had my last crit in my Grad Printmaking class. Sparing details from the crit, just decided to post the prints i was working on throughout the course. They act as a triptych but i'm just posting them as 3 separate prints. I've just grown really tired of them after looking at them for so long but i don't know, maybe you dig them.

oh, PS...you know anyone can leave comments on any of these posts? -right down @ the bottom left, so do it if you have something to say or just wanna say 'hey.'

IN PROGRESS/COMING SOON:

"Able Projects presents: Skateable VS. Non" installation show poster
Working on it STILL-gonna print tomorrow and sell at the show (as well as DJ there too). Come see the show, the artists are OH SO dope and there's handbuilt skate installation on one side and the artists more 'NON-skateable' work on the other side. And fun times.

The 3RD Listening Party poster-different design from the flyer, gonna be posted up around Columbus and in Sole Classics and at the show on that night.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals poster- designing it for PHF-taking it to be printed by us at the concert in Indianapolis. I have some good ideas for this one so hopefully i can execute them as well as they look in my head. Of course, isn't that always the struggle?

The 3RD

I've been so effing busy lately.

In between work and class(which ended today) i've also been fitting in side projects for myself/commishioned from other people. This is the most recent of those that is completed. It's the flyer for The 3RD's listening party for their new album, "1979." It'll be at Sole Classics in Columbus and i encourage anyone who's into real hip-hop music to go-they're good people too. I suppose this is a proper arena to talk about that album. I was given an advance copy of it a while back(as it is not yet released) and it's really great and i'm pretty excited to be doing the entire album's artwork-including designing the CD packaging AND-my favorite-a double LP jacket! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's the biggest, best format to design a record in, it's two records and two sleeves-one per record. It's a big canvas but i'm pretty ready to fill it...Just as soon as i get all the info for the album. Nonetheless-the album is great and it's even better to be a part of something i believe in, not just being assigned to a design for some shitty local rapper or whatever. They're good and they deserve respect.

Check out their MySpace to get a taste of what I'm talking about:

Shout out to Dion for being a dope, non-asshole manager of The 3RD.

I just finished designing and printing a run of these posters(18"x24") for a Medeski, Martin & Wood show @ the Madison coming up. It's definitely one of my favorite posters i've designed and it was the one of many that i originally designed to be the final poster, glad i chose this one though. The 'grey' layer that you see on your screen used for the inner organs and type is actually printed in silver vinyl ink and it looks fantastic. I happen to love this band and am pretty psyched i got to do the poster. - check them out

I'm currently working on a series of 3 art prints for my grad printmaking class @ the art academy, so i'll of course post those when they're completed.

Also working on business cards for SP and hopefully other cool things like that.

laterrrrrrrrrr.
