Garage Party Poster
1 year ago (5 notes)If you happened to catch the sneak-peek on dribbble, here’s the finished version of the Austin Town Hall Garage Party poster. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. All of the type was drawn by hand, scanned and then cleaned up digitally. The actual party features 6 rocking bands and is next Thursday during SXSW. Check out the details over on the Austin Town Hall website.
Austin Motel
1 year ago (5 notes)Spent some time wandering around Barton Springs Drive and South Congress this weekend and ended up with a great batch of reference shots for the sign illustrations. I couldn’t resist starting with the infamous Austin Motel. Love the disclaimer on their website… “Also all room themes and decor are subject to change.” If you didn’t know, the Austin Motel has “themed” rooms, including “Polka Dot Surprise,” “Safari” and “Great Wall of China.” I kind of want to go stay there for a week in a different room each day. Visit their site, it’s totally worth it. Lots of great history.
Top Notch
1 year ago (8 notes)Austin has a handful of circa-1960s/70s signage that is still going strong today. What happened to the days of hand-cut lettering, exposed neon and blinking bulbs? I’ve been thinking about starting up a series of illustrations based on the signs, and this is my first stab at it. The Top Notch sign has always been iconic for me since I was young, as it was featured heavily in Austin’s very own Dazed and Confused. Alright Alright Alright!
Alamo Drafthouse Posters
1 year agoIf you know me, you probably get tired of me saying how jealous/in awe I am of the quality of movie posters that Alamo Drafthouse continuously pump out. It’s even more rewarding knowing that these guys got their start here in Austin.
Tyler Stout has been leading the pack for Alamo for a while. Take for example this amazing poster for The Monster Squad (mentioned in our latest The Many Faces post):
You can see more from Tyler here. There are is also a new batch for sale on the Alamo/Mondo Tees website , including a stellar set for Dead Alive by the super-talented Adam Haynes.
