Rodrigo y Gabriela

Rodrigo Y Gabriela playing CrawDaddy shortly after it opened. Must have been 2004. I've just been reminded of this because I was looking for the theme to Pirates of The Caribbean in iTunes with my son and found out that one of the film's soundtrack had a whole lot of Rob Y Gab on it, complete with hidden Metal references in the song titles. Good for them. Sounded pretty good too in the 30 second clips. Glad I didn't have to watch the film to find that out.

Sad to see the POD Complex of venues close its doors last weekend. Great venues.

Yuck

Poster for Yuck who are playing Dublin this weekend. Another ultra simple poster, just trying to make my work invisible. Really easy for designers to overdo it in situations like this. I like gigposters as much as the next person but most of the time I like the bands to own the poster.

The Pale

One for The Pale playing in Sin é this Saturday. Inspired by their Proper Order album cover. They have a new album out soon called I Woke Up And I Was Gone. Still doing it.

Ian Brown

Sure aren't the Stone Roses back together now. This is one of the first billboard poster I did, way back in 2000, Ian Brown in the Redbox... and isn't it terrible. £16.50 for a ticket, quite expensive really.

Bon Iver

Here's an interesting one from a few years ago. It's Bon Iver playing CrawDaddy back in 2009. And look James Vincent McMorrow is supporting, or just James McMorrow as he was known then.

Hallowe'en at Bective Mill

Here's something I don't usually do... The people at Bective Mill are putting on this nice looking Hallowe'en event. I saw their own poster online and thought they could do with something better. I was  having a slow day so I took all the information from their poster and cooked up this one, sent it over to them and told them they could use it if they wanted. Luckily they weren't offended and took my offer in the way it was intended.

Stephen Malkmus

Poster for Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks. Another basic album cover job. I just shifted things around a good bit to make it work as a portrait poster. Here's the album cover for comparison.

Seekae

I did a really simple poster for Seekae yesterday. I took all the cues from the current Seekae album cover which is really cool. So it was just a case of making it neat and clear.
