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.  

“Suicide Queens” was the first hoodie I designed for Manchester Orchestra. The design is based on the artwork for their first ep, “You Brainstorm, I Brainstorm, but Brilliance Needs a Good Editor”.

Believe it or not, this shirt was originally designed for exclusive sale at Hot Topic in the mall.  After it had been in the store for awhile, we changed the colors and took it on tour.  I can’t remember what the original colors for Hot Topic were.  

I’ll be honest with you, I tried to sell this design to a handful of bands before somebody went for it. It’s definitely in my personal top 5 favorites. I based this design, roughly, on a Circle Jerks shirt that I saw in a book. Since then I’ve sought out as many Circle Jerks shirts as I can find, they are all amazingly designed.  

These photos were taken by my wife, Lily (she’s taken almost all of these photos), and these are so beautiful that I had to put our dog, Ziggy, in there as well. I designed this shirt early one morning while on a 2 month tour with Manchester Orchestra and Kevin Devine.  

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.

Manchester Orchestra and Annuals cover each other’s songs on this seven inch, so I thought that their art guy and me should do our own versions of the other’s cover art.  My wife took the picture of me and our dog, Ziggy (replacing the goat or whatever that is on the Annuals cover), out in the woods one day.  Once I had the artwork for the covers I laid it all out.  The labels on the vinyl are made to look like the Favorite Gentlemen labels but with the cover stars taking place of the gentleman.  

This is still available for purchase from .

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.  

Jeremiah (MO’s drummer) found a box of old pictures a few years ago and wanted to use them for this record.  As it turns out, all of these pictures fit together in a story.  I took the picture story and ran with it, adding other pieces into the layout to give the characters some personality.  After the album, the admats, the singles, and everything else i must have gone through a dozen rolls of masking tape.  

 This is the first work I did for Manchester Orchestra.  Rumor has it that a kid in Florida got these queens tattooed on his arms.  Needless to say, I was flattered.
