2 show posters i designed and screen printed for the now defunct Winston Audio.

I did a bunch of posters for Manchester Orchestra between 2006 and 2009… here are two of them.  The ketchup and mustard posters were for two separate legs of the UK tour.

This is just a couple of old Manchester Orchestra designs i did in 2007/08.

These pictures really don’t do either of these releases much justice but oh well.  ’Brother’s Blood’ is Kevin’s 2009 album and probably my favorite album packaging i’ve ever gotten to do.  Partly because the album rules, partly because i was able to really go all out with the packaging, and partly because Kevin is one of my favorite people in all of middle earth.  We even got to do an etched fourth side.  So much fun.  The next thing is the Kevin Devin / River City Extension split 7″ from early 2011.  The photo on the cover is some photo that my grandfather took in the 70s, made into a slide, and then scanned with dust all over it.  Fun to look at AND to listen to.

This shirt is based on the logo that i designed for Favorite Gentlemen way back at its conception.  I’ll spare you the story.  Anyway, this design is really just the LP label design that we used for several Manchester Orchestra and Kevin Devine releases.  I like this one.

Right Away, Great Captain! is Andy Hull’s 17th century sailor-obsessed musical alter ego.  ”The Eventually Home” is the second album by RAGC and its amazing, just like “The Bitter End” before it.  Just as the RAGC records have a common theme and characters, I wanted the artwork to be linear, too. Here’s a little trivia for you… What is the color of the inside cover?  A: Its the color of US dollar bills.  I had a ton of fun with this record and am looking forward to the third installment???

All of the text in this album (and in “the Bitter End” as well) is lifted and rearranged from old texts.  There are no computer fonts used whatsoever.  

I love this shirt. This design is based on several aspects of the artwork I did for Manchester Orchestra’s full length debut “I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child”. The ivy design is based on the textile pattern in the background of the album’s back cover. The ivy on the backside of the shirt is then colored to resemble the woman and the television on the album’s front cover. I believe we did 2 or three different printings of this t-shirt on two different colors. Only the grass green version that was printed in Athens has the tiny lettering in the ivy on the back. There was a sticker made with this design but they were messed up at the press so there are only a few that we were able to give out on the spring 2007 tour with Brand New and Kevin Devine.   

These shirts have been printed many times, many different ways.  The first several batches were printed on my kitchen table without any registration in 2006.  I designed the bird and eggs so that they could fit on the branch and nest with a pretty big margin of error but still look good.  There were also several limited editions of posters using the same art and printing method, just with different papers and colors.  This shirt was later printed by a print shop (other than my kitchen) for tours during 2007.  

Right Away, Great Captain! is a solo outing of Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra).  I designed and printed these posters (limited edition of 40).  They are 10.25″x20″.  This 2-color design was printed with out a press or registration marks.  I also designed a limited edition t-shirt for the cd release show that the poster commemorates.  If you are not familiar with Right Away Great Captain, I recommend that you get acquainted asap!  I designed both of the records so far.

Same front and back covers as the CD but with a different insert.  The insert is a nice big 24″x12″ full color 2 sided poster.

I did a series of watercolors for this project.  The pen/ink parts of the artwork are based on some photos of the Acid Park where some of the “What’s Left Behind” film was shot.  I’m praying for a 10″ vinyl release of this ep someday.
