Sex Pistols (screening)

The Odessa Club in Dublin had a music documentary screening every month for about 7 months this year. Here's a poster I did for a Sex Pistols doco. It's a decent poster but the text is a bit big. It was one of those cases where the same file was being used for a poster and an A6 flyer. Some of the other "Classic Music Films" posters are good too and I may post some in future.

Lee 'Scratch' Perry & The Mad Professor

Another Mad Professor related poster. This time from way back, I'll take a guess at 2003, when he appeared with Lee Perry. I've liked this for a long time. I'm pleased with the drawing of Lee and Clarendon is one of my favourite fonts but I wish I'd have spent more time getting the outlines right!

Mad Professor

Something totally different, loadsa colour. Influenced by some of the more colourful gig posters. Mad Professor Soundsystem show from 2008.

Flying Eyes (of Toronto)

Flying Eyes were rocking Toronto for a few years. A very exciting 5 piece, 3 guitarists, 4 singers all doing it. This was for their first gig in The Mod Club. It was a pretty big deal at the time. DOI: I know them and my brother played drums for them.

Devon Sproule

Right up to date again for Devon Sproule playing CrawDaddy later this month. I tried to make this as flat as possible. It borrows elements from her latest album cover with a bit of Monty Python. Oh wait, there's some press quotes to be added to this. I hope I don't ruin it.

Def Jux (2)

And here's that follow up poster mentioned in the Def Jux post yesterday. This comes from 2003. In my mind they were more alike.

Andy Cato (Groove Armada)

Andy Cato poster from a few years ago. This is a bit flawed but I liked the idea.

Def Jux

An old one. The headline says "the hottest new property in hip hop 2001" so it must have been '01. I'll admit to not being a hip hop expert but the promoter loved this, so much so that we did another Def Jux night a couple of years later with the same look.

Orbital

Youngest poster yet. Finished last thing on Friday. Done is a bit of a hurry so I didn't have time to redraw the 90's Orbital logo perfectly, I hope no body really notices. Yes it says tickets onsale 6th October, that's actually tomorrow.

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.

Public Enemy

One of 3 or 4 Public Enemy posters I have done. This is from 2005 when they played in The Village in Dublin. There's really not much to a Public Enemy poster, logo - check, the rest is dressing. They were touring the Greatest Hits album at the time so I robbed the colour scheme from that, more or less. I may post the other PE posters later but this is my favourite.

The Kills (fail)

Another design that didn't make it. I suppose you could say 'quirky' poster for The Kills (2008). Duos make for good posters, there's a touch of the TMBG about this. The small print is still in the default position, once the artist spec came in I just left this aside unfinished. I don't have a jpg handy of the poster that actually went out, I think it was the cover of Midnight Boom which was the album they were touring. Fair enough like.
