illustration: silkscreen posters
I made these posters while I was taking a silkscreen class at Otis College in 2005. Sufjan Stevens is from Detroit, and made a really beautiful album about the state of Michigan (where I'm from), and followed it up with a really beautiful album about Illinois. I thought a poster showing a flock of birds migrating south with their instruments (you can't really see Lake Michigan in these images, but it's there) might be a cool approach to promoting that second album. The bottom poster was for a show he did at a Christian college in Grand Rapids. While he's not a 'Christian Recording Artist', he does weave some biblical themes into some of his songs. I thought a poster showing how to make a God's Eye might be a fun way to address that undercurrent.
Hey! I'm from the Midwest and I live in Los Angeles. I design and illustrate books, magazines, posters, packaging and products. I've been a staffer on the Sunday Editorial section of the Detroit Free Press and on the Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times. Some of my freelance clients have included The New York Times, Chiat\Day, 826LA, McSweeney's and SMOG Design. I'm a bookworm and a music obsessive.
