Decemberists poster!


I won I won!  The Decemberists ( a lovely and worthy band) held a contest for their poster for the South by Southwest music festival.  In their solicitation they maintained that there would be extra points awarded for the subtle inclusion of Ladybird Johnson.  I used that as my starting point, along with the theme of their new album, The Hazards of Love.


It was quite an impressive array of entries, so I consider it a sizable victory.  Watch for 1600 of them al over Austin this March!

I was just on the Decemberists' web page and saw that your SXSW poster entry won. Congratulations!! You must be so excited. The poster looks amazing!

I was looking through your portfolio. I love your style. I've bookmarked your site and will be checking in from time to time to see what you've been working on.
