Far/Low Red Land/Hot Tub at Slim's.

This was my first-ever show poster, printed in honor of us opening for the newly-reunited Far at Slim's in San Francisco. This was the poster that taught me, the hard way, about registration marks, using appropriately-sized screens, and proper squeegee pressure.

You can't tell from the photo (because it, too, is awful) but there's a bunch of silver in providing little hatch marks and detailing, and it reflects in the light. It's kind of cool. I still like the concept, and the layout, but there's a lot that I wish I could change. The ink pushed out around the edges because I was using a screen that was too small, and I was doing everything I could to keep the ink off the print while trying not to get it all over everything else. I was also a bit too ambitious with my color bleed, as well. This thing was, and is, a serious mess. Oh, well. Live and learn. They're all gone.
