153. a song. one take. eat it, it tastes of shitake.
Day of Creation 151. A Poster.
We’re playing a gig on 02.27.2010 in Gays Mills, WI at the Kickapoo Exchange. I got asked to make a poster and had no idea of what to do. I thought something about Midwinter Music… tried to come up with an appealing word that make it all alliterative ans such. Came up with manumission. My first idea was Fredrick Douglass in a Bootsy Collins getup, but it seemed like it’d be exploitative somehow, so I went with Abraham Lincoln. Still irreverent, but not disrespectful.
So, emancipate yourself from the WInter Blahs and come listen to some music, dance, and have a good time.
See you there!
Oh yeah, crafted in Photoshop, although my original intention was to do an old-school cut and paste poster and photocopy it. Glad I used Photoshop and not Illustrator, since a lot of the time it feels like Illustrator brings out my need for tidiness and symmetry. Viva messy, FTW!
