Bantum

Nice and simple poster for Bantum doing his thing in Odessa before Christmas.

Sun Kil Moon

Sold out Sun Kil Moon show in Dublin last year. 

Silver Apples

Poster for Silver Apples in Dublin back in December.

Culture Vultures

Culture Vultures is a monthly event that takes place in Odessa Club. This was the 5th or 6th one and it got a new design. I was on holiday over the summer and the house I was staying in had a load of old books with cool covers and this is inspired by some of those. 

80s Night

Halloween 80s night in Odessa. Named after actor Anthony Michael Hall this is the Anthony Michael Ball and it is being run by two dudes from Le Galaxie. In truth, this is not the version that hit the streets. That version is more colourful and more 80s but it was done in a rush and once it had gone to print I kept at it for a few minutes and coma up with a version that I like. It's a simple halftone of a photo of Anthony Michael Hall in a pose that reminded me of the classic Slacker poster.

Forbidden Fruit 2014

Forbidden Fruit festival 2014. Many different versions and many different sizes involved in this job. This is a weekend poster from around the middle of the campaign. 

Navan Educate Together National School

New logo for Navan Educate Together National School. I'm not taking much credit for this, it was a whole school effort. The children submitted over 100 designs. I then identified the most popular themes and colours and came up with about 12 different options. These were narrowed down until finally we arrived at the one you see above. 

The school is moving to a brand new building and only then will the transition to this logo be complete.

Badgers

Badgers. I'm making badges. We called our shop Badgers.

New Years Eve

First draft of a New Year's Eve party poster from last year. I dunno, I liked it. It got scrapped though.

Kaleidoscope 5th Birthday image

Background image for the Kaleidoscope 5th Birthday Show that is happening next month in the Sugar Club.

Gig

Poster for a 3 band gig in The Button Factory.

The Wedding Present

The Wedding Present are continuing their album tours this year with Watusi, an underrated one of theirs. I love it though and it holds some very special memories for me. I wanted to do a poster based on the album cover but not just OF the album cover. So I sourced a photo of the same Bush radio that appears on Watusi and I replicated some of the totally 90s effects. Hopefully when Gedge arrives in Dublin in November he'll get it and realize that I did this out of respect and that only a fan could have done this one.

Yeeehaw

Poster I did for of the quickly arranged events that took place last weekend. The promoters knew what they wanted more or less, so I quickly put this together and they were into it.  

Booka Shade

Poster for Booka Shade who are playing a gig in Vicar Street next weekend. This is quite simple. It's just their latest album cover, Eve, with a bit of work done on it. I got a flat high res cover from them so firstly I had to paint out the small Booka Shade logo on that, then slap a big one in its place. The funky background made that more tricky than usual. Worked out though.

Son Of Dave

Newish poster for Son Of Dave who is playing a few gigs in Ireland in May. I have to admit I've never heard of him before!

Liam Ó

Poster for Liam Ó Maonlai's three week residency in the Chancery Lane Theatre in Dublin. To be honest I didn't do a whole lot to this. Liam supplied the photo and I just made it work as a poster.

Crowbar

Crowbar is the front section of The Button Factory, made into its own bar. I got to do the logo for it. Well, my first idea was just to use the same lettering as The Button Factory. After going around the houses with designs and names we ended back at the initial idea. Then the tagline was added which is fine.

Live at Crowbar

New poster for a new live music night at a new bar called Crowbar. This is not typed, rather pieced together from a nice painted alphabet, letter by letter. This was done as a million layers in photoshop but I think I can speed up the next one by using Illustrator.

Micromarketing

Business is my business.... and business is marketing. Cover page of a 4 page brochure for Galway based Micromarketing. Design reflects existing website. For marketing, contact good guy Ollie.

Der Horsaal Wird Verlegt

Something for an indie night in Austria. Believe it or not that took a good few attempts the get right. This is the third totally different poster.
