Ruin Radio 7: Lonely Xmas Edition (12/22/2014)

hey. i made this. ^

i’ve had a number of lonely holidays, whether home alone or otherwise. maybe that goes for you, too. this year i’m spending christmas with family for the first time in a few years and i’m hoping for the best. but even if all goes well, this episode's inspired by lonely parts in me. it's dedicated to anyone who feels too lonely to talk about it.

Poster for Underpass Show at Hollow Earth (11/21/2014)

this is a poster i drew for a show at hollow earth.

at one point that night, the promoter described it to me as a punk show, though that seemed a little reductive considering a third of the show was improvised cello music and the headlining act sounds a lot like the cure.

and when i say third, i mean subsequent pleasures didn't show up. whatever, i still got to draw a nifty synth with patch cables. 

i had fun doing this, but like just about everything i commit to, it was extremely time-intensive. this is also the first elaborate poster i've made in years (definitely the first hand-drawn one in a long time), and maybe the first i've made for a concert. i learned some things in the process, like how to remove an extra "ue" from the word "subsequent" in an image editor, and how easy it is for "filled-in" spaces to look sloppy when something's photocopied. important stuff. those are little eye-cars, by the way. they were inspired by this.
