gig posters

Man I have been super lazy about posting in my blog and I need to get past that. My band is gearing back up to play shows after taking a 6 month break since January. We have our first show August 8th with one of my favorite bands Witchcraft whom are from Sweden. If you don't know them and love old pentagram, black sabbath, and roky erickson check them out. I am in the process of having 2 new shirts designed and hopefully a bandanna for this show coming up. I also had my good buddy Robbie Knight design a gig poster for the show and I screen printed it this past week. This is my first screen print that I have ever done on paper, that was almost completely done alone with minimal help. I thought it came out pretty damn good for printing on black paper and only coming slightly out of register which you can barely tell. Printing posters is something I have wanted to do for a very long time and I am finally getting myself going in that direction. We have an automatic flatbed press at my work that we have only used 2 times and it was to print this poster and one for our last show which came out good for not using real poster inks and a glossy paper. I will include some photos of the process down below. Please bare with the photos, the first one is the one I just printed and I only have a crappy photo of it and the last is the first poster we ever printed on that press.

Hey. Nice artwork. I just stumbled into your blog and saw that you and I have a common interest in Sasquatch. You should probably check out the story I just wrote about my Yeti-hunting expedition, which started deep in the woods of Arkansas, and is now headed to Australia.
Holla,
