Shining Ones show next Friday

Below are some previews of a few upcoming Dead Accents releases. I will be handling the art direction for these and a bunch more releases in the coming year.
Dead Accents is run by Demian of Hemingway, he has been quietly putting out (very) limited edition cd-r's and cassettes for the past year or so, everything thus far has had exceptional handmade packaging. I'm going to be working with him to step things up a bit and start doing larger edition sizes and hopefully a lot more releases.























DA 010 Sparkle Girl/ Hemingway split CD




















DA 013 Wooden Teeth/Demian Johnston cdr ltd 150 copies
























Triumph Of Lethargy Skinned Alive To Death / Hemingway split Cassette
*This will be a Broken Press release. This was supposed to come out forever ago but we've finally managed to get everything together and it should hopefully be out very soon.

One of Seattle's local newspaper's, The Stranger has been kind enough to select my Kinski poster as poster of the week. Thanks!

Poster of the Week

Andrew Crawshaw strays a bit from his trademark distressed- calligraphy/death-metal look in this mesmerizing poster for Kinski. It sort of reminds me of the downtown library. Which I like.

So thanks to Seattle's inability to handle snow without freaking out my new band's (Shining Ones) first show was cancelled. Which is not the greatest start for a project. So our would be second show (which will now be our first show) should hopefully occur Saturday January 10th @ the Rendezvous, pending no natural disaster's or extreme weather decide to take over Seattle that day too. This will be a one off show for Salt Lake City's mighty Eagle Twin. We also got asked to play an awesome show at the end of January that we're pretty excited about...

I've been working at a new musical endeavor with Dan from Lesbian. We're going to be playing our first show this Thursday at the Rendezvous in Seattle along with Hemingway, This Blinding Light(feat. mem. of Hypatia Lake) and Sparkle Girl. It should be an awesome show.

I have finally setup a proper webstore! I will be posting more posters over the next few days along with some mono/test prints and mystery tube deals...keep your eyes peeled.
It also looks like all of the Hemingway spilt release that have been in the works forever will finally be seeing the light of day very soon...

God of Shamisen "Dragon String Attack" CD layout art.

I just updated the store on the broken press myspace page with some new and recent prints that are now available.
Upcoming: Watain North American tour poster w/ WeAreTheRobots, Kayo Dot Seattle poster, Nachtmystium/Wolves In The Throne Room Iowa City,IA poster, Corrupted/Asunder Seattle poster.

The guys in Akimbo were kind enough to ask me to design a poster for their upcoming 10 year anniversary & Jersey Shores record release show this coming Saturday. Harvestman (Steve Von Till of Neurosis) and Helms Alee will also be playing. It should be a great show.

This coming weekend House of Low Culture, Mamiffer and Hemingway will be playing in both Portland and Seattle. I would highly suggest checking these shows out.

The Kasner prints are now up and for sale on the Upperplayground web store along with some other amazing pieces from the other artists in the Catalyst show.

some shots from the Catalyst opening last night...

Below is the final version of the screenprint of Stephen Kasner's "Khlyst 1" painting. All color separations and printing were handled by myself. Now it's off to the cutter tomorrow morning and then to be shipped down to Stephen to sign/number.
10 colors hand-printed edition of 100 to be released at the "Catalyst " show opening on Sept. 3rd in San Francisco

a preview of something I'm working on for Stephen Kasner for the upcoming Catalyst show in San Francisco. This show looks to be pretty amazing. There will be recent and new work from Josh Graham, Aaron Turner, Seldon Hunt, Aaron Horkey, Justin Bartlett, Stephen Kasner, Dwid Hellion, and Florian Bertmer.

Something a little different. With some help from my lady friend.

VACATION(SORT OF)

Just finished printing these for the upcoming Harvey Milk shows in Seattle and Portland, July 31st and August 2nd. Copies will be available at both shows. Lots more soon...

So much stuff going on around here lately. Below are just a few of some recent projects I've just finished. The Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter poster is for two shows this coming weekend in Seattle. Limited to 130 copies, these will be available at the shows and online afterwards.
Also below are some limited edition (120 copies + overrun) live Asva cd's that I've designed and printed that will be available on their upcoming European tour . This is a live set from London in 2005 which was recorded and later mastered by recording engineer extraordinaire Randall Dunn. These will probably go fast. This is the first in an ongoing series of live cd's being put together by Randall and myself.
Currently finishing up posters for Boris/Torche, Harvey Milk and a Master Musicians of Bukkake tour poster along with a never ending list of other projects.

Part of the art for an upcoming project for Hrak Ryam Hral (the new band from Nick Phit of Graves at Sea). I'm really excited to be working on this. Look for a U.S. from them in the fall. I'll post more from this project as it comes together.

One of the designs I recently made for Important Records is now available!
The Thrones posters have been printed and are currently in transit to Seldon to sign/number. They will be for sale at the show and through Seldon and myself. I'm very pleased with how they turned out.
The KTL U.S. and Canada tour started 2 days ago anyone that lives in Chicago, Philadephia and New York should check out the last few shows. The band will have copies of both the tour poster and t-shirt design by myself and Demian Johnston. I will be printing a small second edition of the poster which will only be available through here.

Some more shirts I finished in the last week or so. The Russian Circles shirt will be a v-neck. I'm also currently working on screening a Thrones poster for Seldon Hunt. These will be done sometime this week and available at the show.
