Mein Weihnachtskarte für 2011:

My 2011 Christmas Card

I shot it in my living room and comped it up in a pretty short amount of time before our company Christmas party. It was a hit with everyone who it needed to be a hit with.

Ear X-Tacy has continued having After Dark shows, and I’ve continued pumping out posters for them. I’ve missed a couple of events, but here are a few that I’ve made posters for (as well as shot). All posters were printed digitally onto 11×17″ size lazer paper, except for 1 copy of the Late Ones/Another Mistake poster which was printed on an oversize color printer (24″x36″).

To start of 2011 with a bang, Ear X-Tacy has started a new in-store music series entitled “Ear X-Tacy After Dark”. An extension of their “Live!” show series, the After Dark set wiil feature Louisville’s louder, rougher musical acts ranging from punk to hip-hop. The music will only be after the store closes for the night, will be free*, and all-ages. *Everyone is asked to bring at the least a quality canned good for charity.

To help spread the word, I created two 11×17 posters for the first two shows after Sean Bailey expressed interests in using my photographs of Vaderbomb and Black God to help promote. I will likely do more posters, but for now, here is the artwork for After Dark 1: Vaderbomb vs. Black God and After Dark 2: Hal Dolls and Rude Weirdo.

Brother Doubt is releasing their first “full-length” CD (does “full-length” even really apply to CDs or digital releases as it’s a term coined for vinyl records?) in a few weeks. Unsurprisingly, since I’m in the band and all, I put together the artwork for the CD. Titled “The Double Greatest” after one of the songs, which is about Muhammad Ali, the disc will see 11 tracks. It was recorded by Trip at Studio K in late April/early May 2009.

The CD was released during a show at Skull Alley on August 21st, with 50+ CDs to be given out at the door.
