2021 NEW, like, STUFF! OMG. etc…

Holy Cow. You probably haven’t noticed but the World is Crazy. Good Ways and Bad Ways and every other way in the middle. It’s constant. Get used to it.

ANYWAY, you might have also noticed that there are a bit fewer live crowd attended concerts lately. Normally,  we would do a few posters for music concerts throughout the year and lately there have been fewer concerts, so fewer posters, so less concert related arts overall.

BUT…

We have as  Art Project coming up pretty soon…fairly soon…that will help a few interested parties to bridge in part that gap between what we have and what has been missing. So stay tuned, if you like, and pretty soon…fairly soon…we will have another announcement or two and culminate in a lovely experience for everyone involved.

Can’t ask for too much more than that, right? Right.

Thanks, and as always, Be Cool.

SAVE OUR STAGES FEST • PORTUGAL THE MAN • PDX POSTER ART FOR PREORDER.

Every venue across the country and around the entire globe is facing the harshest conditions regarding their very survival that the history of mankind has ever experienced. It’s easy to think that his is hyperbole but it’s simple fact. We hope our efforts here can help even the smallest amount towards the benefit of all of the venues, bands, promoters, bartenders, doormen, maintenance staff, poster artists, and everyone who’s life has been crushed flat by this global event, the likes of which have never been experienced. It’s been a long delayed burn within our home and studio, coming to grips with the full impact of this pandemic. It’s still still burning of course, and the end isn’t near, but we have great hopes for everyone. This little effort of ours, combined with others’ efforts, intends to build on this first step, these first stages on behalf of ALL stages, to provide some relief.

If any of you are local Portlanders, and you purchase a poster print, once you receive yours we would be HAPPY to make arrangements to sign your poster prints here in Portland. Drop us a line when the time comes: subject PORTUGAL the POSTER.

tedeschi trucks band richmond va ’20

We have just produced the show prints for the Tedeschi Trucks Band performance in Richmond, VA. and it was a fun one to create. We thank the band for their invitation to provide these gigposters and hope any interested parties find interest in this party. Adventure, America, Virginia, exploration, discovery, heart, music, soul and the Blues. We tried to get it all in there, and the operation was a success.

We have a 311 print coming shortly and will wait and offer them both at the same time in case anyone would like both, with the shipping is on, like, a consolidated tip, dig? Dig.

Peace.

Trey Anastasio Acoustic Carnegie Hall 2019

From their fingertips to your eyes. Or something like that. You get it.

For tonight’s show at the legendary Carnegie Hall, we wanted the poster to be especially elegant and classy. That’s exactly why I reached out to Guy Burwell. I find a lot of his illustrations to have a super cool stained glass type of aesthetic to them & his level of detail is impressive.
It was obvious throughout the whole process how much time & energy Guy was dedicating to this project. He sent me numerous, incredibly detailed sketches with different concept ideas, but ultimately, we were both very excited about this Tiffany Glass lamp concept.
The original Tiffany Studios was located just a few miles from Carnegie, so it seemed even more appropriate. As we dived deeper into the concept, I decided to provide Guy with the lyrics to ‘Pebbles And Marbles” – one of the few songs that initially debuted as a Trey solo song. He did an amazing job of incorporating some of the song’s imagery into the illustration. This poster is unbelievably gorgeous. The ink is so thick and stinky. I love it.”

These prints have some interesting qualities in person. Perhaps there are testimonies pro and maybe even con online that you can research. To each their own. So we will have more information on availability of some prints at a later date. Stay tuned!
