I was a bit pressed for time. My misson was that I needed to do  2.5 posters in one day!
Reason is that I say two point five is that I had been taking my time doing a poster for the band Cracker before I did a bunch of new shows (that I will be posting about soon).  Then wednesday morning, I woke up to the email that the Biltmore had something happen and they wanted to know if I could turn around two posters by that friday. Me, being the type never to turn down a job, told them I would have the poster done by thursday that next day since I would be playing on friday and saturday night. that day I asked for the day off and lucky I got it. the next day i pushed hard and got them done.

so these next few posters i think should be posted together.

Ohbijou

this one was the first that i had done. it was admittedly quickly done. the promo photography was them all in winter coats or sitting indoors so i thought to go bright. the background would work like a kind of disruption to make the whites more prominant.
Biltmore wanted it changed to be more easly read and they werent buying the wintercoat excuse so i changed it

here is a video

Pigeon John

Cracker

remember that song low from these guys from the 90′s?

I had fun doing this one. got kinda into the plaid.

here is their song “low”. see its not a Tom Petty song

Here is an illustration I have done of Charles Demers for the up coming issue of OCW Magazine

Charles Demers was born and raised in Vancouver. He is an activist and comedian, a regular performer on CBC Radio One’s The Debaters, and co-host of Citytv’s comedic panel show The Citynews List in Vancouver.

He’s a funny guy and he has a new book out called Vancouver Special that is super neat.

Check it out if you are a local Vancouverite or if want to have a real clear sense of Vancouver.

Performances by:

- Vincent Parker ( Runriot records )

Vincent Parker, the Vancouver based recording artist signed with Run Riot Records, has been crafting his own brand of live psyched-out power rhythms since 2003. Formerly the producer and beatmaker of the famed underground booty tech punk band Artemis Jackson, Parker has been hard at work tooling and tweaking his latest release, “Prism Myst”, out NOW on Run Riot Records.

Using a streamlined live PA setup consisting of just a PC laptop and double Kaoss pads, Parker makes new, genre-shunning, laser-blistering, glitched mega grooves for the 21st century. Make no mistake, Parker has an instantly recognizable style, and his own manifesto for the future of electronic music. He plans on sharing it with you.

Champion of the seattle laptop battle 2009
