Tartufi/Silian Rail/Honeycomb at the Rickshaw Stop.

Fresh off of what passes for the presses around here, the poster for tonight*'s show at the Rickshaw Stop. I was happy to work on this poster, since 2 of the 3 bands performing have been near and dear to me for most of the time I've lived in San Francisco. Tartufi, who recently released the excellent one-song epic, The Goodwill of the Scar, are headlining a show that also features Silian Rail, just home from tour and celebrating the release of their new album, Parhelion, and Honeycomb.

The poster plays off of the artwork for Parhelion, which I also created. In silver ink, on white printmaking stock, is a literal depiction of a sun dog, stylistically similar to the ones found on the album artwork. Overlaid in red is the text for the show. It's a pretty straightforward design, but I think it turned out well. I also made a few copies on black stock, with the text printed in mixed, reflective, "sunburst" ink. The white versions will be available at the show, while the black versions went straight to Tartufi and Silian Rail.

If you're local, come on out to the show, because it will be great; if you're reading from afar, check out the bands, because they will continue to be great.
