Alec was my first poster ‘client’ in DC, this is my 7th poster for him and the Districts. I’m also currently laying out stuff for his full length album to be released this late spring/summer. Go see him and the districts, it’s good fun music featuring real instruments and lyrics. The print is 5 inks, dimensions are about 10 by 20. I didn’t make stencils and proper screens for the blue and green shapes because I was pressed for time/lazy, instead put packing tape directly on the empty silkscreen to make those shapes (hence the beveled edges). The cruddyness on the left edge of the green shape is due to a semi-clogged screen. Time for new mesh.

Pick a Bigger Weapon [Epitaph, 2006] Rating: 7 (out of 10) During The Coup’s explosive full band performance at the Operation: Cease Fire rally at the Washington Monument last September, a awkward moment of nonverbal discord passed between Ray “Boots†Riley and his resident hype man. Halfway through their set, the hype man grabbed a “Bush Must Go!†picket sign from the front row and hoisted it in the air. Boots’ rock-solid demeanor, for a brief moment, turned into one of marked disappointment. It appeared that Boots, like many other patriotic dissenters, had grown tired with anti-Bush rhetoric as it has been driven into the ground since the man waltzed into office. When The Coup made waves with their last album Party Music in 2001, 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Patriot Act, the Christian Taliban, the actual Taliban, Duct Tape, domestic spying, etc. were all looming under or out of our nation-state’s subconscious.

Cyndi Lauper wasn’t kidding. It’s tried and true, it’s trite, it’s a major cliche: Money changes everything. Money is never easy to talk about. If you have it, you don’t see what the big deal is. If you need it, well … you want it. The older you get, the more money you need to get by, whether or not you want to admit it. That is what Nicole Holofcener’s movie Friends with Money is peripherally about. Continue Reading…

Alright, better late than never. I printed this one a couple weeks ago and am just now getting around to posting it here. Six inks total. This one was fun but also a pain in the ass because a thunderstorm knocked the power out when I was putting together the color separations [film needed to create stencils on the silkscreen], ended up doing the remainder by candle light. The show is tonight (if you’re reading this on thursday). Damn good bands. Be there and be square. – Anthony This is part of our ongoing local artist concert poster and hanbill gallery — if you are an artist, or band and would like to submit the poster or handbill from your upcoming show email the poster image with artist information, and show information including a blurb about the show and the poster to posters [at] mudsugar [dot] com.

 Death Cab for CutieOne really can’t lose with a bill such as the one which D.A.R. boasted on Tuesday night. –Death Cab for Cutie, Franz Ferdinand, and The Cribs– since the odds are strong that the majority of the crowd will leave with, at best, a new favorite band and, at worst, newfound respect for a known quantity.

Pretty Girls Make Graves are coming back to the Black Cat, May 15th to knock the house down promoting the killer album Élan Vital. To promote the show, I made up a super-special poster; printed with tint varnish, metallic ink, four colors, on nifty steel blue paper featuring cake and ghosts with forks. The poster will be available at the show or on the El Jefe Design website May 10th.

What do you think of when you think of movies set in high school? Perky cheerleaders? Sure. Unrequited love? Of course. Quirky comedies loosely based on Shakespeare? Ugh. A Dashiell Hammett inspired murder mystery with Lynchian undertones? Continue Reading…
