+ AUGUST 2010
Worked with the Echo again this month on the Hercules and Love Affair poster. Came up with 2 colorways based on an old photo by George Platt Lynes mixed with Patrick Nagel's illustration style and the myth of Saint Sebastian. Really great show that ended up at the party later at Rhonda (see below)

Did a little collaborating with the guys at Rhonda this month on the look and feel of the flyer and night. Really creative bunch of minds and a shit-ton of fun in that crew and I hope to work with them again in the future.

+ JULY 2010
Wrapped up a new photography website for Reuben Wu. Reubens primarily known for his work with Ladytron; but traveling the world for over a decade has afforded him plenty of time to develop into an amazing photographer. Big thanks to David Childers for all the back-end work. Without him we couldn't of gotten the clean photo transitions and those nifty drop shadows.

+ MAY 2010
Collaborated with my friend Chris on a flyer for his new club night called Hott City. Every month a host is selected. The host then curates a night full of live music intercut with DJs, performances or whatever. Pretty rad idea which was begging for a fresh approach. We got out the Sharpie and put Sam's face right on the Scanner bed. Up close and personal.

+ MARCH 2010
Last year I worked on a concert poster for Cornelius that got me started on a new typeface. The show was inevitably canceled and the poster got swept into my portfolio. Just recently I revisited the file and flushed out the set with some numbers. Many of the key forms used were heavily informed by Edward Benguiat' s typeface ITC Benguiat Gothic. In honor of my inspiration I named the typeface “ Ephram” which was Benguiat's first name.
