Leftfield / Orbital

 

Orbital and Leftfield, two band so linked in my memory I often get them mixed up. Selective Memory are bring them both to Dublin this summer.

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.

Chic

New Chic poster for their Vicar St. gigs later this year. It's inspired by the cover of Get Lucky by Daft Punk. I didn't want to make it too blatant, hopefully its subliminal.

Public Enemy from 2003. I just found this file and it mustn't be the final poster because the ticket price is blank and there's a typo in Professor Grif. Public Enemy posters design themselves really. This was also shortly after Creative Controle changed their name to MJEX, notice the spelling of Expert.

Seasick Steve (again 2)

This temporary Seasick Steve poster was a super quick one. It was done one afternoon just to be put up in the venue that night, I think the gig was announced that day. This gig and a second one ended up selling out before a proper poster was ever needed. So this is it.

Brian Jonestown Massacre

2006 Brian Jonestown Massacre playing Vicar Street, Dublin. Here's the poster used for it. This was around the time the film DIG was released which is why the poster is based on the film artwork. I had another version based on their circular logo before I got the Dig brief. On a related note, last year I did a poster for The Dandy Warhols. I doubt I'll be posting that here, it wasn't such a great poster (not that this is a work of art).

Sonic Youth

Rough sketch for Sonic Youth poster. They're playing Dublin this December. Reminded of this because I finally picked up The Eternal at the weekend and it's good stuff. Also because my friend Ian gave me a loan of his Jazzmaster guitar. The text on this poster forms the shape of a Jazzmaster. This sketch still needed a lot of work but as a design it's simple and I like it. This is as far as it goes however as the gig is already sold out.
