‘The Wall’ got printed.
I recently stumbled upon a place that can print The Wall: Modern Day Music Posters, cheaply without having to go into the thousands of books for it to be a reasonable price per book.
I had to rework the eBook to get it to be print-ready. The content is pretty much the same, I wanted it to be as much like the eBook as possible. But it does have to be slightly different as things are a lot different on paper than they are on screen. But if you buy the print edition you get the eBook bundled in with it, so you get the best of both worlds.
I am only doing a very limited run of these for now. I may do more later, but for now I am thinking of just doing this one time edition and then that is it with ‘Modern Day Music Posters’, and just concentrate on the next one.
To buy, visit the website or my webstore. It is going to be on pre-order for $19.99, for the next week until February 9th.
Printed and coming VERY soon! (Taken with instagram)
iPhone/iPod wallpaper.
I have finally created a “welcome” page for my Facebook page. I know it isn’t much, or anything if you don’t have an iPhone or iPod. But I’ve wanted to do a wallpaper like this for a while and here is an excuse, and hopefully more likes! Spread the word.
Spring Toast.
A new poster design for The Toasters. And if I counted right (feel free to correct me if I am wrong) they are touring for a full 44 days straight! No days off! One straight after the other! You need to go and see them, just to see how tired they will look.
You can buy a print of this poster in my webstore for $9.95 + shipping.

Get Awesome.
Time for updates! The design I made for Tommi Infamous back in June 2009, and turned out to be quite popular on Tumblr last year, is now available on stickers and pint glasses! It has it’s own website and webstore, so while you are there go pick up a tshirt along with the other items.

The Pepper Pots tshirt design I made for them in September last year is now finally available on their webstore and at shows! Go see them, get a tshirt. Enjoy their amazing music.
Orange/Reel Big Fish tour poster.
This is a tour poster exclusively for Orange fans as they tour across the UK and Europe this Spring. We kept the art direction very similar to their recently released EP, Dead Sexy. These will be sold on the tour, and even maybe online afterwards. I’ll keep you posted.

GMZ Article.
Last month, I got the honour of being asked to write an article for Go Media Zine. Of course, it needed to be about music posters so it was just a case of what. We decided to do a round-up of the 100 best music posters around now. But I won’t say much more on the matter as the article pretty much says it all anyway. Go take a read and a look at all those magnificent posters.

Volume One.
The Wall: MDMP is now half price as a Christmas Special that will last until further notice. This comes with the announcement of a second volume in the works for 2012. There will be more details on that coming in the next few months, but for now you can still get volume one, Modern Day Music Posters, for $9.95! And you can download the teaser chapter by clicking here.
Society6.
I have recently uploaded some of my past (and new) designs to Society6. I wanted to restock and get more tshirts in, but with everything else going on at the minute I just don’t have the time. So I decided to give this a try. The profit margins on this are crazy slim but it gets my work out there and gives you nice people something to buy while I try to get my ass in order and get things sorted.
Some items will only be available on there, like the iPhone/iPod/laptop stuff, and the stretched canvases. But tshirts, hoodies and more prints are coming in the near future!
Westbound Train poster.
While working on a few other things for the guys, I got the chance to do the tour poster for a few Westbound Train shows in the new year. This one is a bit different to my past work for them, but I think it highlights my progression more than anything as a designer. I love the font I used for the band name, I have earmarked that for another project that you may get to see in a few months.
