Back in 2004, when I had a mohawk, I designed merch for a band called Madison.
Well, I actually did more than design merch for them. I tour managed them, I videotaped their shows, I sold merch, I took photos. I stage managed, all for free. I would feel slighted if they weren't the reason I began touring in the first place. Actually, I owe them. They are the reason I travelled the world, met the people I did, and had the best five years of my life.
I got a call from their ex-bass player Jonathan, who now plays in Meg & Dia, and he told me they are reuniting for a show on July 31st. In an attempt to make my existence more poetic I asked if I could design a piece of merch for the show, and luckily he obliged. This is an homage to one of my more popular designs for them. I am also designing a poster for the show. I'll post that as soon as it's done.
