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.

After Dark Posters (part deux)

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 – The Double Greatest

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.

Simply Thai Menu redesign

bryan — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:46:57 +0000

Menu redesigns for Simply Thai Restaurant. Simply Thai is one of the best places to eat in Louisville, and is one of Louisville’s best kept secrets. This is unfortunately due to it’s tiny space in St. Matthews. After doing some web work for them, these menus were created. To date, they have not been used, though it may be possible if/when ST moves into a new location they are scouting.

This menu design was also used as a class project during my senior year of college (And received a very good grade, I may add). And before anyone says a word about using Papryus – that’s what the shop’s original wordmark was set in.

FACET promos

bryan — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 22:40:49 +0000

FACET (Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching)) is a organization of Indiana University faculty. All members are tenured professors who have proved distinguished in their field. As a freelance project during the summer of 2008, I got the chance to go to their yearly retreat in French Lick, IN.
Each year, FACET tries to do something special for the other faculty attending the conference, and this year was my alma mater’s year to take charge. The idea was to photograph each FACET member in attendance and then have computers set up so they could manipulate the photos themselves. So not only did I get to take photos of over 100 people, but also teach them how to use photoshop (and in many cases, as crash course to the Mac OS). Over the course of two days, we managed to get just about everyone in. In 2009, FACET was to take all the photos that were compiled and create a poster from the images.

The images provided here are from a poster set that I shot and put together to advertise our event at the conference.
