Since my band's playing the next Cartoonapalooza, I wanted to take a crack at doing the poster. After browsing through my old jazz record cover books for inspiration I came up with this. It's a little crowded, but I like the simplicity of the whole thing. Hopefully it'll print up all nice like. If you're in the area you should definitely come down and check it out. Yeah it's on a Tuesday but hey - you can call in sick Wednesday if you need too. I'll write you a letter.

Insanely cool poster, Ridd!! I see posters like this, I expect them to be all dirty and creased. Heh heh.

Ridd Sorensen said...

thanks. I was going to 'age' it but decided against it. Maybe I'll run a printed one through the washer for a bit instead.

Yeah, the poster must look cool printed... If you are selling them on Cafe Press or whatever, we'd buy one. We're in Toronto, don't know if you'd consider shipping it?
