Back in action.

What better reason to pull out the screens and squeegees than a show featuring Kowloon Walled City?  How about a show that also features Monuments Collapse, The Body, and Thou?  I figured I'd be a fool to not do something for this, considering KWC, The Body, and Thou are three of the best bands on the nebulous loud-music scene these days.  (I'd never heard of Monuments Collapse, who are apparently new to shows, but I thought their set was great.)  Thou (mostly) hails from Baton Rouge, so I based the illustration on the city's seal, taking steps to make it look appropriately metal and grim.  Knowing how I work, I even went so far as to tell Scott from KWC that I'd make something for the show, establishing a system of accountability to ensure I'd actually make something.  That still didn't prevent me from doing all of the prep and printing in the hours before the show (the ink was still tacky on a couple of them as I headed out for the show), but considering the tight timetable I thrust upon myself, I think they turned out pretty well.  I printed 30 in white ink on black stock, with some copies going to members of the various bands and the rest going to KWC to do as they wished.

As captured by my phone's awful camera.
As designed.
