WITH SECRET CHIEFS 3
Rock and roll especially punk, metal, thrash and hardcore were never meant to be safe. Girls, guns, and cars that’s how a rather notable Pacific NW poster artist described my posters. He went on to chastise me for the subject matter of my posters and refused to let me take part in a group show of Portland poster artist and designers... Yeah that was a long time ago and well I am still at it. Posters / fliers for gigs have always been tongue in cheek whether it’s winterizing political dummies (see to the left) or giving Yogi bear an AK-47 there’s always a sense of humor in these. I’d like to thank all the bands, club owners, and artists I have worked with over the years . Warren and Marcus, Joey Prude, Chad Kelco (best artist ever), JP, and even Matt Stanger (you made it in the list). and Jeff Truhn (Chemicals forever)! and Matt at Pac NW Press. Thor and See See (for the show),. Of course Aura for being my second set of eyes. It’s still a thrill to see my posters on telephone poles and various walls around town. Thanks for checking this out.

This is my favorite poster i have ever done. Getting to work with my BF Chad, who did the art based off of a sketch and idea I had. To make it better it was for a good friend Justin Pearson who plays in Dead Cross (who rip). It is also the last flat-stock piece printed at Pac NW Press.
This one I got in trouble for... My timing might’ve been a little off with all of the shootings and what not. But it’s a rock poster guys we all need to lighten up breathe and have a good laugh look at Yogi he’s stoked!
