IFC’s Portlandia recently invited us to be a participating artist in a poster series for their upcoming Season 2 release. We graciously accepted the honor of creating a poster for the first episode entitled “Mixology” .

In “Mixology” Fred helps Carrie chase a romantic mixologist (Andy Samberg) who forgets his roots when he moves from Portland to LA. As a thank you for mixing her the best cocktail of her life, Carrie decides to create the mixologist a mix tape. Our intention with this poster design was to capture the essence of Portlandia while telling a little bit about the episode itself.

These posters were used for promotional purposes only so unfortunately we will not be selling any in our store. However, you can download a free desktop picture of the image from IFC.

Below is our original sketch, some close up shots of the print itself along with a process video of our design.

For any poster artist, creating work for the legendary band Phish is an honor. Being asked to create our fifth poster for them was exciting enough. Making it for their annual New Year’s Eve Run, a four night concert series held at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City, was jaw dropping to say the least.

We created two color variants of the poster, each with an edition of 700. We will be selling a very limited amount of each poster in our online store starting on New Year’s Eve. Below is a process video for the design along with the original sketch and some close up shots of the actual print.

Watch artist Miguel Endara create an illustration of his dad composed entirely out of 3.2 million ink dots. Simply stunning.

It’s always been a dream of ours to create an Explosions In The Sky poster. So when we were asked to create one for their recent Minneapolis show, we knew we had to knock it out of the park. The idea behind the poster came from an interview in which the band was described as having a “Mammoth Sound”.

The poster is a 24″ x 18″ two color print screen print on 80 lb. French Speckletone “Sand”. We decided to also print an art print version (sans the text).

Below is an image of the art print, some close-up shots of the poster, as well as our original sketch of the design.  We also created a process video showing the creation of the design from sketch to completion. A limited number of prints are available in our store.

Phish is arguably one of the most epic bands touring today, so it’s fitting that their stop in Southern California is at the legendary Hollywood Bowl.  We were thrilled to be asked to create the poster for the show, and decided on an other-worldly theme, depicting the Bowl itself as a spaceship arriving on the California coast by way of Phish’s home state of Vermont. Below is a quick video going over our process of designing the poster.

The poster is a 4-color screen print on Astro Black paper and has a signed and numbered edition of 1,100 (our biggest ever!).  A limited number of prints will be available in our store Today, August 9.  Check out some shots from the show and close-up photos of the poster below.

During this year’s Flatstock at Austin’s SXSW a guy walked into our booth and asked if we would be interested in doing a poster for his band. It’s a pretty common question, but what came out of it was a pretty amazing opportunity for us. When I asked more, he explained that he manages The Black Keys. At that moment I was doing my best to stay as professional possible, but on the inside I felt like a little kid. We’re HUGE fans of The Black Keys to say the least and were thrilled with the prospect of creating a poster for them.

The poster we created is a three color screen print and has a limited edition of 275. It’s available for purchase in our store.

Below is a little video going over our process from design to printing, which is followed by close up shots of the print.

Dig this. We’ve been big fans of Adam Carolla for long time. Love Line, The Man Show, the voice of Death on Family Guy, you name it. I can remember car rides from high school all the way to present day where I would listen to his rants and nasally drone almost religiously. So you can imagine how excited we were to work with the Carolla crew on a poster for Adam’s live show.

The poster is a four color screen print and has a limited edition of 250. You can purchase them here. Below is a video of a timelapse overview of our design process and some close up shots of the print. Mahalo.
