Back on the 1's and 2's with my man Brock A.K.A genepool at fortune sound club tomorrow Friday Jan 13th. Presented byTantalus labs. Poster and merch designed by me. There will be 2 versions printed - cement & black. We'll be playing a mix of the usual goods - house, disco, tech house, French house, all the stuff that makes you wanna move. Tune in, grab some merch, or don't!
So much good design references with old album artwork and this Miles Davis's 'Black Beauty' from 1977 is a perfect example. The interior spreads (not pictured) are also amazing. The art direction, colours, photography, and collage...SHEEEEEEESH. I wish I loved the music from this one as much as the artwork and most of his other albums but this ones during his rock jazz phase which is a little hectic for my taste.
Another poster I designed for an upcoming party this Friday for Tantalus Labs With legend Dane Macdonald on the decks. Found images, playful type layout, cut & paste then scanned together. If you look at it from a distance the type (Music selection & Friday December 2nd section) kinda resembles a surf fin. That was not intentional, but maybe subliminal...
I recently got my hands on my dream sofa set, the 'Bastiano' by Tobia Scarpa. Sorting out a sofa seems to be one of the toughest furniture decisions .The few great options are really exepensive and anything cheap is trash. Aftering knowing I wanted the Bastiano, I was actively looking for around 2 years before finally locking it in. These are kinda hard to find unless you're willing to pay 1st dibs prices or shipping from Europe. I found a black leather 3 set (3 seater and 2 lounge chairs) in the middle of nowhere Florida for a nice price. Originally I only wanted the 3 seater but it was being sold as a set, but now I'm stoked I have all 3 pieces. It took a bit of work figuring out the logistics of getting the set from Florida and across the border but it all makes it even sweeter.
Digging through a bunch of old work to find selects for the website I think this ones from 2018? I always loved how this video turned out. I had a really strong vision of exactly what I wanted it look and feel like, and the shots I needed, which made editing and the whole project come together quickly & naturally.
Another graphic for Back In Five plant shop. Having done a few graphics for the shop now I've got a pretty loose working relationship with Owner Sean who basically let's me do my thing for whenever they need more apparel design. .I went in and customized some type, fucked around a lot with the kerning, tracking, and scale of letters to make it feel a kinda awkward, anti-design, bit of a Web 1.0 feel.
