Last night we wrapped up printing our edition for Let Me Run's final show. Couldn't be happier with how they came out and I'm looking forward to screen printing a lot more projects this year. Posters will be available for $10 at the show this weekend 3 color hand printed posters 11"x14"

We’ve been screen printing posters for the final Let Me Run show at The Court Tavern this Saturday with The Scandals and Jaguar Shark.

My good friends in Let Me Run asked me to put together a show poster for their final performance as a band. Over the past 7 years, these guys were able to breathe life into a very monotonous NJ punk scene and I'm glad I had the opportunity to see it happen since day 1. My band Gates played our first show with Let Me Run at their house in Somerset, NJ in 2010. I have so much respect for these guys and I am extremely honored to be playing their last show as well as designing the show poster. I found inspiration in their song "Ruiner" for the imagery of the poster.

"the fire in our hearts will never die... there is a reason why we fight."

screen printed posters will be available at the show

A few weeks back, my band Gates had the honor of playing a live session at Audiotree in Chicago. It was easily one of my favorite moments as a musician and I couldn't be happier with the final product. I'm incredibly privileged to be making music with these guys. If you have a moment please check out our set, thanks!

Check out a behind-the-scenes look at the process of creating the artwork for our newest record, You Are All You Have Left To Fear. From gathering images in Utah and Nevada, to letterpressing the dust jackets in Brooklyn (with Mike from Devildance Records), it’s been quite a journey. We couldn’t be more proud of the final product. Pick up a copy of the album on translucent purple vinyl here, or on clear vinyl here.

"You Are All You Have Left To Fear" has been a creative endeavor that has taken 2 years, both musically and visually. It feels so good to have everything completed and distributed finally.
