A couple months ago, a punk band from Illinois, Slow Form of Suicide, hit me up looking for a show out here around mid-October. I figured, it'd been a while since I booked a show, so I hit up locals The Tightholes, Cagematch, and E.C.V., talked to Tyler over at Jugheads, and short of double booking the date, these guys will be lucky enough to be playing with oldschool metal/punks, The Accused and Javelina on Wednesday October 14th.

Since I wouldn't even think of calling myself anything of an illustrator these days (I's been a really, really long time since I've sat down and drawn. I know, I need to get back into that...), I hit up my buddies, and old Spawn co-workers, Tyler Jeffers and Joe Ferstl. I asked them to come up with something of the Madballs/Rat Fink nature, and as always, they delivered with colorful, gooey elegance.

Jeffers illustrated the eye, and Ferstl was on the Fink. I had no idea how I was going to end up designing the rest of the flyer once the art was in-hand, but for this project, it wasn't something I really wanted to plan for. Usually, I'm pretty meticulous about planning/sketching out my designs, but since I wanted the illustration artwork to be the main focus, I wanted to see what the illustrations themselves instructed me to do. Naturally, the artwork turned out awesome, so all I had to do was toss in some corresponding colors, place the show details, and boom! Kick ass show flyer. Big thanks, also, to Randy & Shane over at Think! Graphics in Tempe for hooking up some sweet-ass prints!
