Recently, I’ve been fortunate enough to get commissioned to create some posters for a few events for Sealed With A Kiss. They throw some pretty sweet events in Vancouver from dj’s to indie bands. Here’s 2 of the posters I made for them.
I guess the spacey stuff got played out real quick so we changed up the looks once again and this time went for a more minimalist hipsterriffic look. This is what I came up with.

One of the clubs that DHM owns has recently gone through a rebranding to make it less ‘upscale chi chi’ and more ‘let’s get trashed and party’, if that makes any sense. Anyway, this is what I came up with after hearing what direction the marketing team wanted to go in. That disco ball had the Death Star on it originally, but got nixed. LOLZ.

I recently was commissioned to do some album art for a rad local Vancouver band called No No Spots. Here’s what I came up with. Not sure when it drops though. I’m pretty proud of my text treatment.
This is by far my favorite poster I have done to date. If I had more time to work on it, I would have made the blood more realistic.
Here’s all the stuff I did for 2008-2009 New Years Eve Parties.
I did this one at the height of Kanye “Stronger” Glasses’ popularity, which was about a 3 week window sometime in late 2007. I thought I was so clever when I made this poster.
I also once had a pair of those glasses. I ordered them from shuttershades.com and this was before the fire really caught on. I wore them to the club once and they got destroyed because too many bitches kept trying to take them off my head.
Notice the friend running interference to distract me (in the black hat) while the chick gets her picture taken with the glasses on. Dude on the left is like “YEA BOIIIIIII!!!”
This was a poster I created when I was still new at DHM. I enjoy the somewhat “3D” effect with the text, as well as the colors. It’s pretty hipsterrific.
Fastlife Thursdays at Rebublic. Definitely one of the best nights to catch in Vancouver on a Thursdays. The patio is regularly nuts until 3 am.
Working with text only creatives is a bit tough because there’s no imagery to carry the creative, so it forces you to step up your typography game a bit. I hope I managed to convey that with these posters. Version 1 on the left and 2 on the right.
My ode to (the old) Facebook. It was a Valentine’s Day party starring Expendable Youth.
