Honestly?
I wish I could say that this didn’t happen.
Camping
I seriously love camping. I was just going to say I love it, but I added the “seriously” to let you know i was serious. I’ve been camping with my family pretty much my entire life. But the past three years Kirby and I have taken over as the parents and organized the trip with our friends. This year’s weekend just passed and it was the biggest group yet at twelve people. It was also arguably the best.
Anyway, there are photos all over facebook, and in looking Kevin’s album titled “Wilderness Explorers” it inspired me to make this.
Venue Magazine
During my time at Rowan I got hooked up with the alternative magazine Venue. I spent my first year with them helping out with graphics, and by the next year the position for art director opened up, which I ran for and was elected to. I really had a great time doing this. I had the privilege of sharing an apartment with the Editor in Chief, Dan, and I think between the two of us the magazine really progressed. In my year as director we put out three quality issues which I was lucky enough to have a heavy hand in designing and creating.
River City Extension at The Stone Pony
For those unfamiliar, River City Extension is the band I’ve been playing with the past few months. I recently decided that I need to depart from them as my role as banjo player. However, my final show will be at the Stone Pony at the end of August. It’s going to be a great show and it will be the right way to go out. If you can make it, you should.
Therewolves
Mike Walsh approached me about doing some posters for his band Therewolves and I was quite interested. The second of these will be featured in their upcoming 7 inch vinyl.
Bands I’ve Been Listening To, Things I’ve Been Doing
Algernon Cadwallader is consistently catchy and makes me feel good. If you aren’t listening to them already, start now. I made this for them.
Chalk Talk is a band I met about a month ago as they were touring through New Jersey. I had the pleasure of spending a night of tented sleepover fun with them, and not only are they a fun band, but great guys. Check them out. I made this for them.
And this is a flyer for a show that has already passed for a band that I’ve been playing with recently, River City Extension. If by somehow you’ve lived under a rock for the past year or so, and have no idea who they are fix that now.
One Line Wonders
In digging around some old files and folders I found a few posters I made and figured I would put them up on here.
This is a poster speaking against censorship in books.
This was a poster titled “Medical Miracles”
And this is of my friends Brett and Jane, based off of an W.H. Auden poem.
Vagina Monologues
Back in March my roomate’s girlfriend, who was running the show, asked me to make a flyer for the Rowan production of Vagina Monologues. I agreed as long as I could do whatever I liked, which resulted in this.
NOM NOW
Towards the end of my last semester, in talking with two of my good friends Michael Smith and Kevin Dixon, we wanted to exercise our thoughts with a visual campaign. The idea of “now” and creating your own outcome by being active spawned each of us to create a few posters all revolving around the same idea, which turned out thankfully all quite different. This project became known as Nom Now, with “nom” of course being the french word for name. Mine are below, and check out Kevin’s as well as his other work at www.kevdixon.com too much good stuff going on there.
