Since we seem rather focused on one band this month, here are a few of the other “recent” posters I’ve made for them since about 2010. While I’ve been lucky to make many other posters for @humbandofficial over the last 30 years, I'm showing these because I have one of each in a drawer and plan to post them at thebirdmachine.com on Thursday at noon Chicago time. The Chicago show from 2010 was at the height of the BP Oil Spill in the gulf of Mexico. The Tyrannosaurus is half of a diptych from two shows the band played in Chicago and Champaign that weekend in 2011. The set of 2015 East / West coast tour prints have backgrounds that connect whether the prints are hung this way or that. The two 12” prints for Electra and YPAA were made as incentives to try to get folks to buy the inventory of old LPs which were stored at Matt’s house. The Grand Rapids show poster featured axolotls and our (then) 4 year old daughter exploring by her favorite tree behind my mom’s house in rural Kansas. Our daughter, Ms Gribbles, has never seen Hum and is looking forward to this weekend at the Aragon. #speedballink

My dudes played in Brooklyn last night and had these new posters at their merch table. The first of three weekends of shows. Very excited to see them here in Chicago next week. #speedballink

Tim brought four 15” cabinets to @fitzgeraldsnightclub tonight as @silkworm.music kicked off a week of shows in front of a packed house. We in @the_most_distant_object were delighted to get to open the show. Hashtag good times.

One quirk of the internationally-recognized Gregorian calendar is that once every seven years, the first #testprinttuesday in May actually falls on a Wednesday, so today at noon Chicago time we are celebrating with all that we have and all that we can give, just like Phil Collins would want us to do.

Overdue photo dump. In no order: New postcards to be included in outgoing mail orders. Massive new stack of prints for a job I can’t share yet. Junco in the park. @the_most_distant_object played in Kalamazoo last week and heads to Milwaukee tonight. Ran a print workshop for some special guests and “My Slice” will be a Bird Machine Subscriber exclusive. High quality pancake.

Saturday! New poster for tonight’s triumphant hometown return by @ratboysband at the Vic in Chicago! Unfortunately I won’t be there, as @the_most_distant_object just rolled into Kalamazoo where we’re playing with a bunch of our buddies. Third pic is a new print called Okefenokee, which will be available at thebirdmachine.com on Monday. Go team!

I set a timer to see how many arrows I could draw in sixty minutes since this next concert poster has a high pressure system in it. I don’t mean to brag, but since I’m a professional illustrator I am able to draw arrows from memory, and don’t need to use any reference material most of the time. Happy birthdays to my buddies Sam, Ruby, and Ian.

Inking.

Two recent prints up in the store at thebirdmachine dot com. A second edition of our 2024 WILD MILE print for @urbanrivers who are perpetrating some blatant habitat restoration in the Chicago river adjacent to the island of Goose Island, and our mysteriously energizing poster from February for @pinebenderband and @alienepley and Tractor Kings. We’ll have another drop a week from now, but these prints were tired of waiting. HI-FIVES TO YOU ALL. #speedballink
