Show posters are the perfect synthesis of visual artists and musical acts supporting one another. A great poster can bring people to a show and set the anticipated mood for the event. I particularly love screen printed posters because they are easily produced and distributed and, as an added bonus, they provide an artful but inexpensive souvenir for performers and attendees alike.
In my poster designs I try to best represent the performers involved or the mood of the event while maintaining a unique personal approach. My design philosophy always boils down to 2 basic principles:
1. Make it by hand
2. 99% of the time, the wrong way is the right way.

Moribund '74 is my contribution to the Closed Caption Comics anthology issue 9.

In the fall of 2009 I was asked by my friend Marc Miller to give a shot at some cover art for the new record by his Baltimore-based No-jazz outfit, Microkingdom. I was honored to have been asked and a fan of their previous LP, Microkingdomâ??s Pro Hour so I gladly accepted the challenge. In the spirit of Piet Mondrian, I tried my best to capture the rapturous insanity contained within the span of the new record, titled â??Three Compositions of No Jazzâ? in reference to Anthony Braxtonâ??s 1968 debut, â??Three Compositions of New Jazzâ?. I delivered the finished product and the rest is history.
Microkingdomâ??s â??Three Compositions of No Jazzâ? should arrive in record stores near you in January 2011 via Baltimore label Friends Records.

B&P is the moniker of my ever-evolving sonic endeavors. I have been exploring sound as a means of artistic output for 6 years now, in the process, producing more than 20 releases. I have long been enamored with the power of ambient music and produce these recordings as a means of mental liberation and honest respite from everyday life. These excerpts are presented as fractions of much larger pieces.
