My first print in a new series. So I'm a huge music lover so I decided I wanted to do a series of specific styles of music instead of grouping them all into one. People are so unique and styles of music say so much about them. Naturally, I chose hip hop as the first one. I took more of an old school approach (think Run DMC and Public Enemy) but I've got my fair share of new school icons as well. And we all know vinyl never goes out of style :)
The next one is looking to be I AM 80's. Enjoy.
These are now available in the shop as 8x10 prints.

Images from The Pitch, The Just Life, and La Grieta
So my second concert of 2012 surely didn't disappoint. In fact, I'm willing to bet at the end of 2012, this will have been one of the best shows I've seen. I hadn't been to the Paradise in years! So it was nice to go back. I forgot how intimate and amazing it is. So I'm not a long time Delta Spirit fan. I've been listening to them for a couple years, but they've become a small obsession so I simply had to see them live. Matt Vasquez's voice is so unique and different, I can never get sick of listening to them.
The one down side was that the set was a little too short. They could have extended it another half hour. But i did snag one of those screen printed, limited edition posters. Mine was even autographed by the band. If you're not a fan of Delta Spirit, give them a listen. The acoustic version of "Bushwick Blues" is sure to steal your heart.

So I'm looking for a design intern! Yes, it's really exciting. I'm getting very busy and I could use an extra set of hands.
What is it you'll be doing?
Well, lots of different things. You'll most liking be blogging and helping me update my site, Facebook page, Etsy page and Twitter. I've recently rebranded so I need lots of new things (business cards, stickers, templates) so I'll need help designing those. You'll definatley be printing (and cutting). And if you're really lucky and can show off your illustration skills, I'll likely have you help on some new product designs and illustrations.
Sound like something you might be interested in?
Well here are some requirements:
• Knowledge of the Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign)
• Illustrators are a huge plus!
• You must be comfortable (or a fast learner) in blogging platforms (Wordpress, Blogger etc)
• You'll need to work nights and weekends. I'm really flexible with days and times so we can totally work something out.
• Must have your own laptop. You can work from home some of the time, but I'll need you in the studio some hours too.
• You need to be comfortable with a matte blade becasue you'll be doing lots of cutting
Unfortunately, I can't pay you but if you're a student we can work with your school to get you credit.
But i CAN teach you everything I know. Please only contact me if you are serious about it.
