Here's a look at the poster we just wrapped up for The Head And The Heart, who will be playing 2 shows here in Seattle at the end of April.

Here is the cover for an upcoming Demon Hunter release featuring the first 3 albums in one package. The 3 disc set will be available everywhere March 8th. If you've had trouble finding these older releases in a store near you, here's the chance to get them all (and cheaply). As always, the DH demon skull graces the cover, this time made from the trees of my back yard. I gathered up some fallen branches and leaves, constructed the logo on a large sheet of white paper, and Jerad Knudson shot the photo.

We recently completed posters for 2 events serendipitously taking place on the same night (January 22nd), albeit across the nation from one another. Aziz Ansari will be knocking the socks off of a presumably packed house at Carnegie Hall, while I'll be here in Seattle, in awe of White Lies and all of their glory. The Aziz poster is 5 colors, and White Lies is 2 colors, both of which feature metallic silver ink. In the store now!

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to design a poster for one of my favorites, Killing Joke. Their music is like the soundtrack to the apocalypse, so naturally, a punk-orchestrated riot seemed like the perfect direction.

It's a slow day for Mumford and his offspring. Here's our new poster for the Mumford & Sons show happening on 10/24 at The Paramount. These will be in the shop on 10/25. Oh, be sure to sign up to our mailing list to get the scoop on upcoming poster and product releases.

We recently just wrapped a fun logo/business card project for Sparrow Builders, a new general contracting firm headed up by our cousin John Paulsen. John wanted something with a simple, modern and clean aesthetic, so we played around with different styles within those restrictions. The wireframe design was one of the last options we provided and ended up making the cut as the final logo. After the design was green-lit, the fine folks at Mandate Press (check this out) took over and delivered some pretty amazing letter-pressed cards on 110# Cranes Lettra stock. Follow Sparrow Builders and Mandate Press on Twitter.

We're excited to have a table at the upcoming Flatstock 27 at Bumbershoot Festival next weekend, Sept. 4-6th. It's always a great hang with fellow poster peeps and an excuse to publicly drool over so much great art. Oh, and just to get this out of the way before it starts: No, we don't have any Phish or Southern Culture On The Skids posters. Hope to see you all out there!

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.
