Happy International Clash Day 2019

Today is International Clash Day, celebrating “music as a tool for social consciousness, a band that made it sound so damn good, and an iconic record that still changes lives 40 years later.”

The iconic record is The Clash’s London Calling—one of my all-time faves—which turns 40 this year.

I was honored to be asked to design this poster for the event hosted by KEXP in London. Several artists contributed, and all of the posters were displayed in a gallery at the event (see the video below.)

The poster is a 2-color screen print on natural paper and was printed by Eric Carnell at Independence Printage in Seattle. It will be available on my webshop as soon as I have them in hand.

Here’s a little video tour of the event space which includes some footage of setting up the gallery. (Look for my poster at about 02:55.)

Day 16 – Tom Waits Burned Santana’s House Down

Got a backlog of things to post for the last several days. In the meantime here’s another tune I did for the Berklee Abelton Live Class on Coursera. It’s kind of psychedelic, jazzy little ditty. I’m going to have to play around with this one a little bit more.

Day 10 – Boom Boom Box

Here’s a short song in-progress that I threw together for the Berklee Abelton Live Class on Coursera. Kind of a Boards of Canada Glo-Fi thing. My 6-year-old daughter named it for me.
