New Poster!!!

I just printed some posters for my buddy Bryan, he's putting on a show at Slainte in Portland on the 30th. I was glad he came to me to print up some posters, mostly because I really want to get into printing posters for people, bands, places etc. and second because I'm alittle rusty at it and these were the first things I;ve printed in my new studio, and the first time I burned a screen here, which was actually alot easier than i though. thanks Beth for letting me know how long it takes! 5 minutes to be exact on our light table in the basement.
I'm pretty happy wiht how they turned out, the images I had gotten printed at Kinkos were alittle bit
off so I made the whole print alittle bit offset, I'm let down by Kinkos. oh well i kinda like it better this way actually. The whole idea was to make it a pretty simple poster and to use the pink and yellow which were in Bryan's first file he sent me, I thought having the bright colors would be awesome and very noticeable when put up everywhere. Possibly get people to actually see the posters and wonder what there all about if they maybe dont know the bands.
Well here are some progress shots from the night.
some pics of the dirty basement at the studio building.

This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about

I painted my first picture in years, its for the Index show we have in a few weeks. Its inspired from the imagery i'm using in my thesis profect with alot of drawing right on the wooden canvas'. I'm pretty proud of how it came out, i like it so much more from up close than i do from far away, i love the detail of the splatters, and the colors they create, it might be hard to tell from the pictures. hopefully it will look good in the gallery it will be hanging in.
The piece acrylic paint, coffee, micron pen, pencil, and root beer soda, "for the stain." it's approximatly 2.5 feet tall, and 5 feet wide. so its a pretty big piece for me, i dont usually work this big ever, my work tends to be smaller most of the time and very hand held. I'm not positive if I'm done with the piece, but for now i am, i might keep working on the left piece
alittle more, and have it have a better transition between the wood and the black splatter, but we'll see what i come up with in the next few days.

Until then, its bed time, goodnight everyone.
