The Gateway Arch, Water and Wilco.
We recently finished up a poster design for Wilco’s October 4th show in St. Louis, MO. One of those little birdies to the right of the arch told us that these sold out at the show. Below are some of the process shots, details and even the initial idea as we sketched it out. Sometimes…

Read MoreTrey Anastasio Band Poster Design, 1970’s Skateboarding Is Alive And Well!
We really enjoyed working on our latest poster for the Trey Anastasio Band. The vibe we were after was vintage 1970’s skateboarding from California. Half the fun was researching (and reliving!) skateboard culture from the late 70’s (a time we hold dear here). Tons of images out there of old skate company stickers and decks…

Read More5 Heads are better than one logo design.

Part of the challenge we had was taking all the different aspects of what 5 Head Entertainment offers (artist management, promotion, a record label) and create a way graphically that ties them all together, as well as one “umbrella” logo…
