Here's our new poster for Arcade Fire, a band that we haven't been able to get enough of lately. I was inspired by the song 'City With No Children' from their new album, 'The Suburbs'. Available in the shop on September 27th. See it larger.

Here's a fun project we recently wrapped with the fine folks at Creature and JanSport. Catch the bus to see The Cave Singers - performing at an undisclosed location. A quick synopsis of the event:

'This summer, JanSport presents the first installment of the Bonfire Sessions, a free concert series celebrating the epic memories that can only be made outdoors. Here’s how it works. The hidden location of the concert is kept secret until the day of the show. All August long, check in here at Unzipped , as well as Facebook and Twitter , to get clues about the band and where to hitch a ride on the 28th. We’re taking a mere two busloads of people, so you’ll want to stay on top of the bus stop spot. And get your best lining-up/dancing shoes on.'

The poster was designed in 2 sizes: 24" x 36" and 18" x 24". 8 colors, screen-printed.

Here's our new poster for The National show at Marymoor Park on 9/11/10.

Just finished this poster for Vampire Weekend... couldn't help but go the literal route for this one. Just too fun. Vampire meets piranha- a match made in Heaven.

Here's our new (and early) poster for The XX show at The Paramount in September.

Here's a look at our poster for The National, who will be performing at this year's Sasquatch! Festival. These guys are a personal favorite of ours here at the office, and we anxiously await their new album later this year. Poster available soon-ish!

Our buddy Ethan was in town and decided to snap a few cool shots of the shop.

Here is our new poster for the upcoming KEXP Kid's Dance Party on Father's Day. Now breakdancing dads have a place to go. Prints available soon.

Here are 2 posters we just wrapped up for the upcoming Sasquatch! festival. If you've seen Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job! on Cartoon Network, you won't be offended at this poster. If you have seen it, and are still offended, sorry about that - blame Ryan. And TV On The Radio - Well, their last record (which is epic in every way) is called Dear Science, so I got a little 'science-y' with it ... then felt like it needed a bear for some reason. These will be available towards the end of the month.

Here are some images from last night's Perspectives In Poster Design event. From left to right are: Jeff Kleinsmith, Barry Ament, Coby Shultz, Art Chantry, yours truly, Ryan and Jacob McMurray (the man behind it all). We had a blast talking about inspiration, process, motif and toy collecting. The guys sitting around us played a very large part in making Seattle a destination for us (almost 9 years ago), so it was an honor to be up there. Thanks to everyone who came to hear us ramble.

(Thanks to Demetre for the photos!)

Don't forget the Perspectives In Poster Design event tonight at the EMP. 7:00PM - 9:00PM

Ryan and I will be part of a panel discussion entitled Perspectives In Poster Design along with Art Chantry, Ames Bros and Jeff Kleinsmith at the Experience Music Project on Wednesday, March 11th, from 7-9PM. 

"We hope you’ll join us for this panel discussion on the evolution of poster design in the Northwest. The evening will include prominent local graphic designers discussing everything from poster art and design process to unsung graphic heroes and influences, all illustrated with examples of their work and others."

We hope you can make it out!

By popular demand, we've reprinted our Kings Of Leon "Lonely King" poster design, this time with a change of color palette. These are going pretty fast, so get yours now.

I cannot get enough of this record! If you live in the Northwest, see them at Neumo's on November 6th. The live show is phenomenal.

Ryan and I will be speaking on November 6th (2-3PM) at this year's Grammy MusicTech Summit. The topic: 'Graphic Design Challenges for New Media'. Stop by to hear our thoughts on the wondrous world of the new album cover: All 55 x 55 pixels of it.

Here's our poster for the upcoming Brian Posehn and Judah Friedlander comedy show coming to The Moore theatre on Halloween. If you have a television, internet connection or have been to a movie in the last 10 years, you've seen these guys - and have laughed - really loud.

Just finished a poster for the upcoming Kings Of Leon shows in Seattle and Portland. After rocking the tar out of their new single, I got inspired to go all-out and illustrate something with a lot of detail. We may never know what majesty our lonely bum-king has found in that tower, but I imagine it's breath-taking.
