Jeff Tweedy Has Landed On The Hudson
It was a fleeting idea. Jeff Tweedy’s management needed a limited edition screen printed poster for his Tarrytown, NY sold out solo show. The city of Tarrytown is on the Hudson River, site of the infamous “Hudson Miracle” jet landing. The sketch was done and sent to the client – we waited to see the reaction……
Read MoreNew Band Logo Designs
We were recently asked to help this new band with their identity development and to help capture the “feel” of the band and their music. The only specific directive from the band was that we not use ANY imagery of flowers or an actual magnolia. US: “Right, ok, roger dodger, NO magnolias in the design,…
Read MoreNew Mike Gordon Tour Poster Design/Print!
We always enjoy working with creative clients and Mike Gordon and crew are right up there on the list.

We really enjoyed working with Alison Scott and Kevin Bowe on Alison’s latest CD release “Chinese Whispers”.

The initial concept was to emulate the look of Chinese restaurant paper menus, it grew from there, with the…
Read MoreOld Crime Fiction Novel Cover Designs
We recently came across some classic old crime fiction novels (covers donated by Gary Applegary) and had to share our love for these sorts of things. Most are from the early to late 1960’s with a variety of graphic designers given credit. Look at the great composition on “Slack Tide”. Pure visual sweetness. The art…
Read MoreA Day At The Printer.
Mmm, smell that? That’s ink and paper. We recently did a “Press Check” at one of our favorite printers for a client’s capabilities brochure and thought it would be cool (and very “print-nerdery” of us) to post some photos from the day. We love printing in all its forms and this traditional 4 color press…

We really enjoyed the recent project we did with the band Steel Train. They had a special live in-store performance in Orlando, Florida to help promote their latest release. Check out the band here: steeltrain.net/site/ The deadline was pretty insane on this one, but yet again, our pals at The Half and Half came through!…
Read MoreA Look at the Design Process for Recent Wilco Project
We recently worked with Wilco’s management on creating several promotional items for the band’s very successful Solid Sound Festival, recently held in at the MoCA. Even though our poster for the event did get published as well as our transit bus signage, we thought it’d be interesting to show some of the process related to…
