KerPUNK Festival

If you happen to be in the London area on Saturday, you might want to check this out.

At a time where there is a ton of red tape involved in putting on this sort of event, Tony Anastasi’s gone and pulled a festival out of his ass. This whole thing went from idea to actually happening in about a week, and if that weren’t cool enough, it’s free. Yours truly made this hand-lettered gig poster in about a day.

If you want to get in on this, you can check out the details on their Facebook page and follow updates on Twitter @kerPUNKfestival.

 

 

Waiting Print

New print in the shop!

This song keeps popping up on the blog (the one where I quit my job and the one for the word art project). It’s been the soundtrack to some of my more nerve-wracking life decisions.

You might notice that the Sound System print was pretty close to the original word art design. I didn’t really think the one that I did for Waiting would make a good lino print, plus I really wanted to take a serious stab at some hand-lettering. I got a few more process photos from this one than the last print. I must have written this out a thousand times – on paper scraps, envelopes, sketchbooks, bank slips. If anyone wandered in and saw my desk, they’d have probably thought I lost my marbles. But I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

If you want to pick one up, it’s in the shop.

 

 

Pixel Quilt

So my mother quilts and is pretty nerdy. There aren’t a ton of gift options in that particular Venn diagram overlap, so I went ahead and made her this custom iPad cover.

She’s pretty partial to the log cabin blocks, and apparently this pattern in particular. Setting up rectangles in Illustrator for the pattern didn’t take all that long (thanks, snap to grid!), but making all of the “fabrics” was a little time-consuming. It’s 13 different patterns, that I set up and then saved as swatches in Illustrator. I’ve always been a lot better at fabric picking than I was at the actual construction part of quilting, anyway.

 

 

Between the Buried and Me

I’ve seen these guys a handful of times (earlier this year, in Cleveland, with Opeth, etc). They’re really amazing live.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other bands on their tour, I’d never seen live. Actually, I hadn’t even really heard any of their music before now, but they both have a really interesting sound.

Tesseract was on first:

 

 

 

 

 

Then Animals as Leaders. Honestly, I got so distracted watching these guys that I kind of forgot to shoot for a minute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As always, there are more photos on Facebook and on mooreclick.com/live.

 

 

AP Tour

So instead of going out shopping on Black Friday this year, I headed up to Altar Bar for the AP Tour.

Four Year Strong did an acoustic set before the show for a handful of fans, and Alan got into the holiday spirit.

 

 

 

They also did a very much non-acoustic set.

 

Some of the other bands got in on the fun – I think this is the bassist from Sharks?

 

 

Gallows’ singer decided to hang out with the crowd, and I Hail Mary’d this shot.

 

 

It was a crowd surfing kind of night.

 

Also on the bill was Title Fight…

 

…The Swellers…

 

…and Sharks

 

 

More photos are up at www.mooreclick.com/live and on Facebook.

 

 

Black Friday Sale

EDIT: It looks like I’m going to be out shooting a show tonight, which means I won’t be around to change the shipping back come midnight. Which means free shipping gets extended until noon EST tomorrow!

All the cool kids are doing it, so why not? Buy any print in the shop today, and get free shipping on it. Yes, that includes my friends in the UK. What kind of prints you ask?

 

Firefly stuff:

 

 

 

 

And the new lino print:

You can pick up any of these right here.

 

 

Bushwhacked

This one got a little dark. But hey, it’s a dark episode, folks.

I’m up to #3 out of 14 – this is gonna be a pretty long project. You can help fund it by buying a poster. Oh, did I mention if you buy one on Black Friday that the shipping is free? I didn’t? Well, it is.

 

 

One Sheet

We usually have to crank out one sheets on short notice, for foundation meetings and the like. I actually got to take a little time to put this one together, and am really happy with how it turned out. There’s a ton of information in this bad boy.

 

 

Green Day Wallpaper

Some time ago, I put together a desktop wallpaper design to try and win some swag. I didn’t win (sad trombone), but they did go ahead and post it on the site as a download. If you’d like your desktop to look like my high school bedroom wall, then you can download it on the GDA site.

If you want to see what I’ve got running on my own computer, there are more downloadable wallpapers here.

 

 

Sound System Print

So after a bit of trial and error, and a few less stab wounds than I’d predicted, my print’s done. Even better, you can pick one up in the shop. Makes a great Christmas gift, if your friends are as weird as mine are.

 

The design is based off of one that I did for the word art project, for Operation Ivy’s “Sound System.” And speaking of the shop, we’re down to one Train Job poster left, so maybe go check that bad boy out.
