the TRYST Feb. 7th "1 Day, 2 Shows"

I took a shot. While I am in the wood cutting mood I decided to make a poster. The image above is the final piece. Drawn, transfered, cut, inked and printed by hand. I then scanned it and cleaned the letters just a little to finish the piece. Check the link below for the process pictures. Also if you are in Tucson on February 7th support you local music scene and go see the Tryst play live! They are doing two shows. One at the Sonoran Glass Flame Off at Barrio Brewing and the other at the Bands for Breast Benefit at the Hut

the TRYST December 21st - WINTER SOLSTICE

It's that time of year! Holiday cheer and the passing of another year and in this case a season. Fall is almost over and Winter is here. The Tryst is out in full force December 21st at the annual Winter Solstice celebration aka the Hut's Christmas party. It is always a good time.

Above is the poster for the event. I used one of the Herd Mentality characters. I think it came out nice. Maybe it will snow this year in Tucson!

I Love Canada!

It appears that I scored another small poster gig with a Canadian music venue promoter. That makes two in less than a months time. Let's hope this trend continues. I only have so much I can hock on ebay. Poster art and more news after the piece is finished.

Christmas In July Poster - Club Congress - Tucson

Christmas In July Poster
Originally uploaded by Billy_H.

Wanted to share with everyone this gig poster Marisa and I printed. The poster is for the "Christmas In July" show at Club Congress in Tucson, Arizona featuring - Beta Sweat, Pork Torta and Winelord. This is a four color hand made silk screen poster.

The original drawing was made back in 2000 in the parking lot of the Dallas Galleria. I was down and out working for Bananna Republic during the holiday season. I was on break sitting in my car thinking about going home for Christmas and drew this tree. It now has a life of it's own on this poster.
