Upcoming Posters...
I've been busy making new posters and will be having a poster
sale on or around April 9th for 5 new posters... a new Black Keys
Poster for their show in Amsterdam, 2 Eddie Vedder posters from
his tour in Australia, a Tres Mountains tour poster, and a Flight to Mars
poster for their show coming up in April in Seattle. I'll be sending
out an email announcing the time and date of that sale at the end of
March... so stay tuned.
I hope you are all doing well and look forward to seeing some of you
out there in the world next week...
thanks as always

Eddie Vedder likes to have input in his poster designs, has he ever asked for your input into his music ?
Ha!.. No he hasn’t. There was one day when we were laying out the album art for the avocado album, and Ed and Jeff were in my office. One of the songs on that album, Army Reserve, was originally called Geronimo… I mentioned that Geronimo was a much better song title then Army Reserve, and Ed, in a joking, sarcastic way said “Yeah, sorry we didn’t call you about that.” That’s the most input I’ve ever attempted to have.
Eddie Vedder likes to have input into his posters as we know, does he suggest the imagery and/or draw elements of the poster how does that work in terms of the subject matter ?
Usually he doesn’t suggest imagery when you start things, but as you go along and start showing him work in progress, that gets his wheels turning and he’ll start making suggestions then for what he wants to see. The only thing he’s contributed that he’s created himself would be his calligraphy. But he is certainly involved in the process,… for the 2008 Chicago poster, he had thrown out a few ideas for subject matter: the Picasso statue, the two lions in front of the art museum, wrigley field, and the marquee of the Chicago theater… I went with the lions. He wasn’t into my initial mock up, and we were running out of time, then at the last minute he threw out the idea about putting the Picasso statue in place of the bus out in the woods from Into the Wild. So for that poster, that was his concept (as well as his typography), and I just put the pieces together for him. To me, that’s his poster, I was just the engineer in the studio who turned the knobs. But that was the most involved he was in a complete concept from beginning to end. As I mentioned in the book, he’s probably one of the toughest people to figure out what they will respond to visually… it’s hit or miss. He has a relatively distinct style and it seems like it should be easier to get things pegged down for him, but whenever I think that, he proves me wrong. So you just go into it like a crapshoot and hope you hit it. But it’s 50/50 odds…
