"Can you do a poster in a hurry for an 80s night?" Boom, done, first draft Mackey does it again. 

The Growlers

Here's a recent poster for The Growlers who play Whelan's in July.

Mackeyworks

Logo for mackeyworks. That's one of my brothers. The colour scheme was already in place. When there's an MW initial it's hard to avoid playing with it. I had plans to do more with this and I still might, it's not needed for a month or two.

Patti Smith

Poster for a big summer gig. It's Patti Smith in Dublin in June. I wonder if she saw Humble Pie back in the day?

This poster came with very strict guidelines which meant I had to scrap my version. That happens.

Road Safety Poster

A Pair Of Posters

This might become an series, I don't know.

Insight Strategy

Logo for Galway company Insight Strategy. The brief was for it to look slightly sci-fi. So I tried to come up with a logo you might see in the background in Robocop or something. It all came together quite quickly and the MD signed off on it like a boss.

Newbridge Summerjam 2015

Call it fan art but inspired by a call on The Best Show with Tom Scharpling I put together a fake festival poster. On friendface a lot of people suggested additions and corrections, plus I kept getting ideas, so every now and then over the next few days I added to it. I tried to keep it looking like a county fair with notions of the bigger festivals. That explains the crappy clip art on the guy playing a guitar. Anyway, for fans of The Best Show there should be enough here to give you a few laughs.

Update: Shortly after this was done I went to see The Mountain Goats in Dublin. I got this printed out A3 with the intention of asking Jon Wurster to sign it for me. I spoke to him after the gig and pulled out the poster. Jon immediately thanked me for the poster, clearly thinking I brought him a gift. Chuffed, I said nothing and let him have the poster. Still no idea why I didn't see that coming.

Prom Night

An 80s dance party in a new (to me) venue called Mother Club. After a bit of to and fro we ended up here. Looks good, it should look good on the street.

George Fitzgerald

Doing a lot of dance show posters at the moment and this particular promotor likes a no-frills approach. Which is fine by me! Here's one for George Fitzgerald.

Brunch Boogie

Poster for a series of afternoon djing things in Odessa in 2015.

Bantum

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