Very pleased to announce my first showprint for 2012, and the first one in quite some time! I will be designing and printing for singer/songwriter Jolie Holland playing February 24 at the Swedish American Hall, upstairs from Cafe Du Nord in SF. I have been a huge fan of Jolie's traditionally inspired music for many years, so I am really looking forward to the show! The roughs and final design will be posted soon, watch for them.

Handmade 2011

2011-11-30T11:40:00.000-08:00

I'm doing a little feature for the lead up to the 2011 Holiday season, collecting a few of my favorite artists and craftspeople who also have online outlets for their work. I hope to feature a new artist every Wednesday til Christmas, and will try to have a few bonus features as the shopping days get shorter. Remember, the current state of the world economy and the vast disparity between those with wealth and those struggling to get by is a many faceted, complex and vexing issue. But supporting handmade crafters is and always has been a great idea and a great way to let your money speak your mind about what you think is important. Think it over, enjoy the feature, and have a great holiday season!

New T Shirt Designs on the way, a few of the originals left...

2011-11-23T11:33:00.000-08:00

The first run of T Shirts I did, featuring art from my show prints are both just about to sell out, and for a limited time I have both designs on sale in my online store. I hope to have two new designs available in time for the Holidays, as well as girls tees of the same "Diver" and "Motoskull" designs from the first round. These two designs are both 45% off, in a limited number of sizes. Check them out!

Here is an older photo of me selling posters at the 23rd Street Art Murmur in Oakland. These guys told me they were taking my picture, then I never heard if it was posted. I am in the midst of trying to stop logging in to my Square account on my iPhone here... pretty dashing stuff.

Interview for Crewkoos, a French Rock Poster Zine

2011-10-17T14:12:00.000-07:00

Last month I was asked to do an interview via mail with the French Rock Poster Zine, Crewkoos, published by Benoit de Rocquigny. Benoit sent me some questions about my work and I just recently finished answering all of them. The interview will be published sometime before the new year, but I wanted to give a sneak peek at it here. Enjoy! And thanks Benoit!

Check out Crewkoos here...

What are we listening to when we come to visit you?
I just got a great record from 1975 called "Fish out of Water" by the bassist for the band Yes, Chris Squire. I am really into this record right now and listening to a lot of 1970s era stuff. I DJ at a local bar every Tuesday night, focusing on 1970s and 80s vinyl records. It has pretty much taken over my listening time at home.

Can you tell us more about yourself, who are you, where are you from, what do you do?
I'm a graphic artist and illustrator, living in Oakland, California and originally from a smaller town in Southern California, near San Diego. I draw and silk screen posters for bands I love. I get a chance to sell them at shows. I also make t shirts, art prints and hopefully books, soon.

Did you follow any course or did you improve by drawing in the margins of your schoolbooks?
During Elementary and High School, I drew obsessively on folders and notebook covers. I was quite a metalhead, and loved getting the hang of drawing the intricate, imaginative logos of my favorite bands. I think it helped my lettering ability quite a lot. I still love drawing letters, almost more than anything else. Later, I went on to a renown art and design college in the US called Art Center. They almost ruined everything!

Today are you living from your art, or do you do something else for a living ?
I have a family and support myself by working for commercial clients in the apparel industry. I work a lot more digitally, and with photography for my commercial work. I like to keep them away from my drawings, which I tend to save for posters or prints.

Are you collaborating with magazines/fanzines, regularly?
This is the first zine interview I've done! I'm so honored. I have recently sold a few designs to a local surf shop, and I will be collaborating with a local record store soon too.

Where does your influence come from? Is there any artists/graphists you particularly like, what are your influences?
Yes. I admire many contemporary poster artists. I have met many of them and been able to share work and advice. Its a great community, most of us do it because we love it, and it is awesome to get together and talk about printing and/or drawing. I particularly admire Stacie Willoughby, David V. D'Andrea, Dirk Fowler, and my friends from Austin, Texas, Mark Pedini and Farley Bookout, who run Empire Press. Classically, I have always loved Rick Griffin's art, particularly because he combined surfing and music imagery. I worked as a graphic artist for several surf companies for many years. Even more classically, I admire the work of Pieter Bruegel, Cassandre, and Alphonse Mucha.

What are the principal steps in your work ?
I start with very small sketches of the characters I like to draw, then I combine the lettering needed to convey the event, display the names of all the bands and any other necessary information. Somewhere in the middle of this, I hope to achieve a nice balance between the illustration, the hand done lettering, and any digital type I might have to include. Drawings start very small and are enlarged to enhance the detail and finish.

Do you do everything by hand or on computer?
The drawings are all hand done, starting as pencil sketches, then moving ahead to ink on a translucent vellum. Once the inkings are done, I scan everything and compose it in Photoshop, add color, and make each layer into a file to be printed on film and burned to the individual screens.

How long does it take you to do a poster?
Usually 2-3 weeks, depending upon the number of colors, and the amount of coffee I consume.

You have a very distinctive style, are you doing only what you feel like or if tomorrow somebody asks you an oil painting with horses running out of water with a sunset backdrop, is it a problem or are you up for it ?
I wouldn't welcome that kind of direction in one of my posters. I try to get bands to agree to let me go with an idea of my own, and further trust me to execute it in a way that will compliment the show, their sound, or their visual aesthetic. Starting with too much direction is almost always a bad idea. I do submit the design early to the band, to make sure they approve. Often, I do two slightly different versions too, and the band's feedback is very important.

For which band have you already worked for?
I have designed posters for The Clientele, Camera Obscura, Pokey Lafarge and the South City Three, DeVotchKa, Justin Townes Earle, Jesse Sykes, Alela Diane, Bert Jansch, The Dutchess and the Duke, Cake, MC Hammer, The Black Angels, O'Death, The Moore Brothers, Shannon and the Clams, Exene Cervenka, and Dum Dum Girls. Apologies to anyone I may have forgotten.

For which band would you love to work?
There are a few bands who really support poster artists, commissioning different work from many different artists during the same tour. I think I would love to design a poster for the Black Keys, one of these great patron bands. I also admire Damien Jurado very much and almost got to design a poster for him. Looking to the horizon, I wouldn't turn Neil Young down if he asked. Nicely.

Do you choose the artists yourself?
I do. I choose bands I admire and am familiar with. Often I would go to the show anyway, but bringing them a poster I designed and printed is a great feeling.

What is the most difficult part in designing a poster ?
Too much type! I like to keep things kind of minimal, but it can be challenging because I never want to leave out anything the bands, club or promoter need to communicate. That's the most important message in the poster, so it demands a lot of care.

Do you think you are part of a "Graphic Scene", if so who else ?
Yes! I feel artists like my professional acquaintances and friends like Summer Makovkin, Jason Munn, and Lil Tuffy are all doing it basically the same way, letting our love for music and graphics jump into bed together and seeing what pops out!

A bit of self-promotion, take advantage of it, it's free, where can we see your work , on the web or in real life?
I have an online store crumblediamonds.etsy.com

My blog

And Facebook

Early in 2012 I will be having my first art show at a local music club called the Uptown. I will be showing posters, drawings that went into the prints, and also new work!

The best praise you received lately?
A woman approached me at my table during a local craft and music fair and recognized my poster for Pokey Lafarge. She had been at that show and I had found out it was her birthday, so I gave her a print for free. She and her husband bought a shirt of mine at the fair. I was really impressed and flattered.

What can we wish you for the future?
A bigger press! And a vacuum table... I am really trying to upgrade my homemade press at home.

Thanks SF!

2011-10-17T13:54:00.000-07:00

Big thanks to the organizers and attendees at The SF Indie Mart, a cool bi to tri monthly craft and music festival. I met tons of supportive folks and sold some prints and shirts! Cheers!

Indie Mart!

2011-09-30T12:14:00.000-07:00

Indie Mart is one of the original SF D.I.Y. Fairs and is a great way to support local crafters and handmade artisans. I had the pleasure of doing the flyer for the upcoming October event, big thanks to Kelly Malone and Workshop SF for their support!

First Fridays

2011-07-18T18:43:00.000-07:00

Oakland is a great city for artists. There is a wide ranging, supportive community serving those of us that weld 20ft tall steel figurines, construct and personalize handmade jewelry and clothing, hot glue a pick up truck full of golf tees, or silkscreen posters in our dining rooms. One of the best local arts events is the "Art Murmur" taking place every first Friday of the month and giving local crafts people the opportunity to take their wares to the street and make a few bucks off all that hard work and toil.

Roadtrip

2011-07-13T12:26:00.001-07:00

In May I drove to Austin, TX with my girlfriend to help her participate in the Renegade Craft Fair. We logged a lot of miles and Jeannine's camera didn't make it. I shot all of these with my iPhone, and got into an interesting discussion a few days ago about the new disposability of photos, which is ironic because we can shoot them, save them and share them so quickly now, and the results can be stunning.

We had a terrific trip, not without its moments of despair, but overall triumphant. Pleasant memories of wide skies, friendly people, great unexpected street art, new friends, great music, and all the hot dry air we could handle.

Late night progress...

2011-07-11T19:19:00.000-07:00

The little photo gnomes come out after 1am at my place...

Poster for the Black Angels from Austin, TX

2011-07-11T18:58:00.000-07:00

This is my three color print for the Austin, TX neo psychedelic band, the Black Angels. I did two colorways, one with an orange ground, the other with an off white. This was a great great show!

O'Death poster from the Independent in SF

2011-06-03T11:59:00.001-07:00

Here is the poster I drew and printed for O'Death's SF show in March. A little behind in postings and getting new prints into the store, but stuff is on the way soon!

O'Death

2011-03-10T18:01:00.001-08:00

My next confirmed showprint is for the Brooklyn band, O'Death performing at the Independent in SF on March 26th. Looking forward to it!

Thanks

2011-03-08T12:23:00.001-08:00

Thanks to everyone who came to see DeVotchKa play the first of their two night run at the Great American Music Hall in SF last night. I met some great folks and as always appreciate the support of handmade!

DevotchKa "Bad Luck Heels" and skull Christmas lights...

2011-03-05T12:12:00.000-08:00

Here is the final design for DeVotchKa upcoming shows at the GAMH in SF. A huge run for me, finalizing everything this weekend and hopefully to share some printing photos soon.

The Concretes are my new favorite ( Swedish ) band...

2011-03-05T12:07:00.001-08:00

I did this poster for Lil Tuffy and the Noise Pop Music Festival in SF. I was feeling really intimidated by the assignment, esp. since I was getting approval from another poster artist ( and a great and prolific one at that... ) but I made it. The Concretes are a great Swedish Indie band, and they have a large catalog of songs. Their newest record, WYWH is terrific and is put out by Friendly Fire records.

Close ups

2011-02-17T13:13:00.000-08:00

Its raining hard here today, the cats are bummed and I cant get the outdoor shots I need to post the newest poster in my online store. Crazy busy printing and drawing too. Lots of new stuff will up shortly!

Dum Dum Girls

2011-02-17T13:06:00.000-08:00

Dum Dum Girls are a California based band on Sub Pop records. They have a great, reverby hard rock sound and they put on a great live show. I had the distinct pleasure to do this poster for their show last night at the Bottom of the Hill in SF. The support acts, MINKS from Brooklyn, and Dirty Beaches from Vancouver were terrific as well. I think this may have been one of the best all around bills I've ever done, and all the bands were gracious and genuine people. Support independent music people! These guys will be on tour for a while and would love to see you at a show.

2011!

2010-12-19T10:56:00.000-08:00

My first confirmed poster for the new year is DevotchKa, live at the Great American Music Hall in SF, March 7th and 8th. I will be doing my largest run ever, and starting the new year off right.

The Clientele ( Mini tour show prints )

2010-09-13T11:29:00.001-07:00

Last week, I had the great honor to take my show prints to the Clientele's two Bay Area shows at the New Parish and the Independent. Both night's shows were terrific, I had seen the band play at the Great American Music Hall in 2007, supporting their "God Save the Clientele" album, and I never get tired of their lush sound and dreamy, reverby vocals. Special music geekery award goes to their well chosen encore cover of another favorite UK band, The Television Personalities, and big cheers to Mel and James from the band for hanging out by the merch table at Thursday's show.

Thank You!

2010-08-23T11:02:00.000-07:00

A big thanks to all the people who stopped by the crumblediamonds booth yesterday and Saturday at Oakland's Art and Soul Festival. I was happy to see some old friends and make lots of new ones. I hella love Oakland!

Cake on the rock stage

2010-08-23T10:01:00.000-07:00

This is the first time I have designed two posters for the same event, and printed them. It has been a really busy few weeks around the house. Loved the way this one turned out though. Also my first time using French Paper. This two color poster for Cake is on French's Poptone Wild Cherry. When in doubt, put it on red...

Hammer returns to Oakland

2010-08-23T09:58:00.001-07:00

Collector's Item!!!

2010-06-22T22:07:00.000-07:00

You know those urban legendy type stories about stamps that are printed wrong, or maybe the original posters and merch for "Revenge of the Jedi" that had to get recalled when it came out that the movie was called something else? Well... my next poster has been a long time in the making, but I got the bill a little bit wrong as Frank Fairfield will be opening for both Pokey Lafarge and Devine's Jug Band. Arghh. If only it was an April 1st show, I guess. In any case, please come to Amnesia on Sunday and hear all these guys and girls ( and kids? ) give their all. Traditional music doesn't get any better.

Thanks!

2010-06-18T09:03:00.000-07:00

A big thanks to everyone who came out last night and got a poster or stopped to chat a bit about the show. It was a great pleasure to see so many people turn out to see Bert Jansch, and he did not disappoint. I had the luck and good timing to briefly meet Bert after the show, and a big thanks to him and his wife Loren for being so gracious.

Come out next weekend and see some more great music, the Frank Fairfield preliminary drawings and final poster will be posted in a few days. Frank plays Amnesia in SF on Sunday June 27th.

Bert Jansch in Oakland

2010-05-14T17:56:00.000-07:00

When I started doing posters about 9 months ago, I made a short list of the performers I wanted to do posters for. Bert Jansch was one of those artists. Bert was scheduled to play a show last Summer in Felton and he unfortunately had to cancel due to health problems. I was kind of hoping he would be back, and indeed he is, in a big way. This month he has joined Neil Young as the special guest on Neil's solo tour of the East Coast and Southern states. Bert is playing 3 or 4 dates on the West Coast at the end of the Neil Young tour. Neil's wife, Pegi is opening these shows. And I am doing the poster for Oakland, Stacie Willoughby is doing the poster for Santa Cruz ( also a silkscreen print that she will have for sale at that show ). Many thanks to Stacie, Britt at folkYEAH! and to Bert. I am really looking forward to seeing one of my heroes.

Camera Obscura

2010-04-22T11:57:00.001-07:00

Last night's show was really fun and a big success, thanks to all who stopped by and got a poster.

First Fridays

2010-03-25T13:56:00.001-07:00

This month and into April I will be designing a few posters for Studio One Arts Center in Oakland. Studio One does a poetry series that has its event every first friday as part of Art Murmur. The readings are a great way to hear local and nationally known poets read, hear some music or see some short films and get your first friday started right.

Well...

2010-03-22T12:55:00.000-07:00

This wasn't exactly the best idea, but even though I sold just a single one of these handsome "Shannon and the Clams are DEAD" posters at the show a few weeks ago, the DJ played Betty Davis' "If I'm in Luck I Just Might Get Picked Up", I met Penelope Houston ( she is super sweet! ), and Jesse and his girlfriend bought Jeannine and I two tallboys because we were so broke. That's Oaktown for you...
