New mewithoutYou Goods

charliebear — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:24:20 +0000

I’m very proud to reveal that I’ve been working on a bunch of new projects for mewithoutYou. Last week, they announced their new album Ten Stories. I’ve been handling all of the design aspects of this record. As with their previous records, the artwork is based around a series of paintings by Vasily Kafanov, and I’ve been working on all other visual elements, including intricate typography, illustration and general layout. For now, the band is revealing a small puzzle piece of the cover, every week-day on their facebook, until the full cover is finally displayed. More to be announced soon.

The band is currently on a short spring break tour, and are selling a shirt I designed based on the new song February, 1878. They also asked me to silkscreen some posters for the tour, so I roped in honorary bear Allie Smith to help illustrate the rabbit from that same song. Go grab some of this new merch at one of their upcoming shows!

Gig-Posters for Sale

charliebear — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 20:58:55 +0000

Lately I’ve been screen-printing plenty of Gig-Posters for some bands that are friends of ours. Most recently I’ve finished a poster for Dark Dark Dark. These prints are all very limited, of no more than 50 copies each. I’ve just made them available to you in our online store. Go check ‘em out!

La Dispute Website

charliebear — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:13:00 +0000

This project has been in the works for almost a year now. Working with a band that has internationally toured for the last 9 months out of the year, can well… prolong these things. But, finally, we’re proud to have launched this new website for La Dispute. We’ve timed the launch alongside their new album Wildlife, which is due out in October on No Sleep Records. Go check it out, and respect the awesome programming-magic that Stevebear was able to make a reality; horizontal sliding, background image transitions; custom scroll-bars; damn.

Additionally, the band was featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered today, debuting the first track from Wildlife.

mewithoutYou Gig Posters

charliebear — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 20:39:06 +0000

If you couldn’t make it to mewithoutYou‘s show last night in Akron, you definitely missed out. But you can still have a piece of the evening, as a very small quantity of the gig-posters are now available online. The image is based from lyrics to their song Cattail Down. Aaron Weiss and I originally had a similar idea for a t-shirt design last summer, but we ended up pursuing other ideas. So I decided to re-visit this concept to use for a poster. The closing verse to the song is written out along the bottom part of the image.

The prints are 25″ x 19″ on French Speckletone Cream paper, 100wt. 3-colors, hand-printed, limited edition of only 50 prints, signed, stamped & numbered. The posters are available to purchase in our online store, here.

Frightened Rabbit Poster

charliebear — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 18:16:47 +0000

Grant & Scott from Frightened Rabbit asked me to make a poster for one of their shows on this upcoming tour, so I gladly chose Cleveland. For the image, I referenced lyrics from their song Skip the Youth, “I’ve been digging that hole tonight, on my knees beneath the moon…” You can grab a silkscreened print at the Cleveland show of their current tour, or our online store after. Limited to 50, hand-pulled copies. See more images on my personal blog.
