PROCESS

How a poster gets made.

  1. 01

    Listen

    You send me the record or the setlist, and I play it on repeat while I sketch the first ideas in pencil.

  2. 02

    Draw

    I draw every letter by hand in ink, scan it at twelve hundred dpi and split the colors into separate layers.

  3. 03

    Proof

    I mail you one printed proof on the real paper, so you see the actual inks and not a screen version of them.

  4. 04

    Print

    I print the full run, sign the first ten copies and ship the box straight to your venue before the show.
