Kowloon Walled City/Rosetta/City of Ships/Litany for the Whale at the Knockout.
Once again, I was asked to do a poster for a KWC show, and I was more than happy to oblige. All around, it was a great show; I was excited for the chance to see Rosetta and Litany for the Whale for the first time, and the opportunity to see City of Ships again (a great band, and great guys). For a little while now, I've wanted to do a series depicting classic horror movie and sci-fi monsters, and I figured this was a good time to start. I wanted the poster to be show-appropriate, while not being over-the-top or too serious. I drew the classic Robot Monster, and threw in references to the Misfits Fiend and Evil Dead II. Of all of the posters I've ever done, I'm happiest with this one. There were some printing issues, mainly involving an old, slightly-blocked screen that should have been retired long ago, but whatever. I think it looks pretty good. Four colors on white printmaking paper. A lot of these went home with the bands/show attendees, but there are a few left. (Every band that played was great, and all deserve your attention and support, so check them out.)
