Trombone Connects to the Hip Bone

Event poster for Northwest jazz quartet The Green Livers. Entire design, with exception of venue logo, credit line and texture strips, is created with elements from a single typeface, Zoroaster from T-26. Dismantled letterforms are repurposed in a "build-as-I-go" process to create iconic instruments, signage and border elements, resulting in a completely fresh take on the jazzy backstreet improvisation of the Paris and New Orleans in my mind.

The Times They Are A-Recurring.

Singer/songwriter Daniel Hallock (aka Daniel Davies) performs his take on folk music with a generous tip of the hat to the greats who defined the genre (Bob Dylan , Arlo Guthrie, et al.) This poster is an intersection of my exploration into stippling shading techniques (based on densities of ink points), Daniel's "old soul" approach to life, and the spirit in which we learn to embrace the circumstances that we perceive. Background textures courtesy of my Ibanez acoustic.
