The Tattoo Blues


A poster for an upcoming gig at Slowdown featuring Blue Bird. Emerging out of 
the indie music hot-bed of Omaha, Nebraska, Blue Bird's songs feature lush 
harmonies and a depth of diverse musicality. 

Our design relies on depth created by multiple layers and textures. 
It is subtle with a hint of mystery. Although the letter forms on this poster remain 
unmodified, precise kerning is a must to pull off the minimalist look we wanted.



I Got Nada(s)


The Nadas formed in Ames, Iowa in 1995. This indie rock outfit has been called 
"the best college band you've never heard of". This is our ode to the "love gone bad" 
theme that runs through many of their songs such as "Dodged a Bullet". 
Better move quick!


Puppets Being Bad


This gig poster recently won a Bronze Award at the AIGA/Nebraska "The Show 20". 
Its bold design relies on eye-catching imagery and color with a heavy dose of symbolism.
