In continuation of every day is Halloween here’s a gig poster I designed for Brand New, Eisley, Hot Rod Circuit & Orange Island’s show at the @trocphilly waaaay back on October 31st, 2003!.

At the time, I had just finished a screenprinting class at the Pasadena Community College with one of the BEST printers (and teachers) I know - @j.e.miner Thanks to John, I learned how to design for screenprinting. I got the idea to overprint the ghosts after meeting Jordan Crane who was printing in the back of meltdown comics around then. PLEASE check him out!

Looking back at the file info I guess I designed this early in March of that year. It wasn’t until a few months later that the band asked me to design their 2003 tour poster, shirt, and backdrop. There are a few funny stories that go with that project. (Buy me a beer someday and I’ll tell ya.) A few months after that I designed the cover for their “Holidays ep”. Wow…I’m old.

I’m racking my brain as to what was the inspiration for this. Halloween obviously. But why is a half-naked lady wearing a cat mask? I have no clue. I know I had just quit working at Hustler Magazine and I was/still am HEAVILY inspired by COOP! & ADAM HUGHES! If you dig #pinup art CHECK THOSE GUYS OUT!

When you scroll through - you can see the stages of the piece from sketch, to inks, and to the final piece.
The final inks were 11x17 on 3 ply bristol board.
I used a @winsorandnewton series 7 no.2 brush and @fabercastellusa pens for inking.
The sketch is around 3” tall.

ALL ORDERS are shipping tonight, tomorrow and Monday.

THANKS to everyone that ordered and for being patient!

I’m juggling a lot of cats right now!
