Me, my friend Par and his friend Lulu of Unifire all have our birthdays on the 11th and 12th of February. Par, promoter and CNG car expert (as well as smackin good DJ) decided he’d throw a party for all three of us at the Emerald Lounge, and he booked the Firecracker Jazz Band to play it. Par will DJ as well for part of the time, and he always gets people groovin’ so bring your soft soles or your high tops and prepare to wear a hole in the dance floor.
Come on out and help me celebrate what an awesome year 25 has been for me, and to rock and roll my 26th birthday! This should be an awesome time, I’m really excited.

- Don’t park in the lot across the street.
- $5 at the door to cover the band (worth it — I promise)
- R.S.V.P. if you’re hip
Par asked me to design the poster, whch is all over town now. This took me about an hour and I’m pround of how it turned out, but I wish I could have put another two hours of work into it to really polish it up. This is probably my most public work to date, and I’m always trying to level up my craft.
I can’t believe I’ve only been living here a little over a year! This town has been good to me. Thanks, Asheville!
Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre is awesome. Pun based visual humour with a vaguely Victorian tilt? Yes please!
Thanks, Malia. This rocks.
The accoutrements of wealth rarely impress me; Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Bentley pass me by without even a jealous glance. Form and function rendezvous at much lower price points without telegraphing the color of the owner’s blood or the elevation of their nose. Here’s an example of a timepiece that I find beautiful, simple and inexpensive — and uses a similar drive to a Rolex.

Come. Be the DEATH of the PARTY.
I’m leaving right now to get these babies printed up. More later, word on the street is this party is gonna be rocking. Late-night House party!
Make sure and come out to see The Championship, September 2 at Bobo Gallery. I had a great time at their last show, and was really impressed with their sound and performance. Great rock/country sound, but no novelty to it — just good rock, foot tappin originals.
My roommate and I were asked to do the flyer again, and this is what we came up with.
