Poster and T image for a water balloon fight in front of the The Libertine. The poster was built with 2 colors.

MeMe Gallery Presents Nevada Hill (Rubber Gloves): Though Denton’s Nevada Hill has done poster work for midsize to large venues, such as The Granada and The Loft, he still isn’t as widely received as some local poster artists. You don’t tend to see his work in poster contests, which may to do with the fact that he doesn’t really bother much with the clean-lined, crisp, design school hack aesthetic. He isn’t heavy on the “negative space” and other easy 8th grade art lesson pointers.

But he is a favorite of bands that want a piece of art that is as unique as they perceive their music to be — perhaps even more so. And it’s the shrewd venue representative that understands that this work is certainly going to stick out from the slick poster art glut threatening to topple Dallas. Hill will have pieces for sale that range from a simple poster, to cheap five dollar t-shirts, to his comic series entitled Mass 3.

As for the show, it features a diverse and high quality lineup including a band that has played D’s offices (Dust Congress), a vicious rock duoT2, and DJ sets from Daniel Huffman (New Fumes) and Matt Leer(Diamond Age). Also performing are two virtuosos from The UNT music school, composer Greg Dixon and clarinetist Rachel Yoder, who perform under the name Odd Partials.

Chris Mosley is my favorite DFW Music writer.

Come to RGRS this friday to see new posters and artwork by me. Also Terminator 2, Dust Congress and Odd Partials are playing as well.

Granada Theater needed a new shirt. They kindly asked me to come up with a design. After long consideration I decided to do something more then just a Type treatment of the theaters name. I wanted concept that would go with feel of the theater. After a few shows of getting there early and hearing the brilliant blue humor of the staff. I came up with Love Your Self Responsibly. Then I was asked to do one clean. Same concept just done in a format that most people would like. . Shirts will be available only through Granada Theater.

So while I was selling my weirdo wares at the Mission of Burma show. Lauren from UME came up to sell her merch. She eventual asked me if I could design a T-shirt for them. I happily agreed after giving me there EP. After listening to the EP I came up with magnets as a theme. Then I realized that I could create the band name with only using magnets. SO here are the 2 color ways. This is only available for now on the road I believe they were printed on Thursday.

Here is a link to check out Ume’s tour schedule. http://umemusic.com/wp/

John Iskander from Parade of flesh asked me to do this. Kind of a mixture of the last 2 posters. With silver and Neon yet again. I just love using gimmick inks together. Not much more to say about it.

I was asked by Granada to come up with this poster for White Denim. It was an homage to the exceedingly rapid homogenization of culture and music. Due to the exceedingly digitalization of music and music journalism (Blogs).

Some clipart and a pretty type face. A good sample and some echo on the vocals. that is all you need.

Where is the Sex, danger, dirt, guts, maggots, and the mistakes.

Are we all slowly becoming de-evolved into a slick life form that is terrified of it’s own dead skin cells?  Or are we just evolving past our flaws and into supreme more efficient beings?

This poster is best summed by my buddy Josh of Dead Meat Design http://www.gigposters.com/designer/16554_Dead_Meat_Design.html

“That’s how I feel most days”

Since reading the book Our Band Could be Your Life 3 times and picking up Vs. I have been inspired by Mission of Burma’s ideas and sound. I have humble life goals and this poster was one of them. 18×24 on natural cougar that will be soaked in coffee to get that antique look. Thanks to Granada and Mag beard.
