Foolish February

Monthly flyer I did for a night at the Kitty Cat Klub featuring members of MPLS digital supa-crew, Foolish Bastard Family.

Listen to:
Connie Hawkins 
Enron Hubbard 
Diamondeye 
Adora Tokyo 
and 1990 doesn't have a Soundcloud (?)

Go check it out. Good music and free and drinks.

Everybody 10

Oh yeah, I made a new mix CD for everybody. Except for only 25 of everybody, since it is a limited edition out of 25.

The front cover.

Contact me if interested.

Sun Mountain

This is a piece that I made a while ago, which will tentatively be used for a pal's album artwork, but for now I just had it printed on canvas. 

Leo Trio

Star signs are weird. Leos are, in my experience, pretty cool though.

Hail Rock Selfy

Self portrait: Rock & Roll style !!

Bonus Inversion Version:

Burial

I made this just for kicks while listening to this and other songs from that album. Minimal and dark. As with most things though, I put an even darker touch to it.

I couldn't choose which one I liked better. So I'll post them both.

Dear Design

It's been so long, I know. And I've been so tired. It's not that I don't love you, Design, it's my job. My new job is taking up a lot of my time. Design, please don't leave. Look, remember this? We made it. Together. Remember this summer when we made this?

Wasn't that fun? We were going to make this into a screen print, Design. You and me baby. We even made a second iteration, that we liked better. 

Since we both love sludge metal. Remember listening to metal music together, Design?

I know it's hard to get used to me being gone, Design. Don't think you're not always on my mind. How could I forget about you? I'll be trying to come around to visit you more often, darling Design.

You'll always be my one and only.

Please don't swear at me like that.

Foolish November

Hello ladies & gentlemen. This is a poster I designed for the Foolish Bastard crew of MPLS fame. The concert is sure to please, check it out Nov. 30th if you're in the dinkytown area. As per directions from 1990 himself, I went for a real "euro" vibe with a trashy spin.

Here's an inverse version:

 

 

Kids Music Swamp

I've been doing this design blog for a couple of months now. I've always wanted to do a music blog though. I made one up, called "Kids Music Swamp" (titled as such for reasons I can't recall,) that I will be tinkering around with in the coming months. Here's a logo I made for it:

 

Be sure to check it out in the near future for updates on the MPLS music scene.

"Something About Beauty"

Revision

Cyclops

This is an illustration I made just for fun. I need to keep designing or I'll die -- like a shark -- even though I'm in the middle of moving into a new place. Without further ado;

Stamp & Post

I made my own postcards for various uses (thank you, invitation (?) whatever really.) Here's all I did:

Second times the charm: I forgot to make the image an inverse of the intended final product.

Crude, I know. The paper is fancy though?

Repeat!

Ink splatters for effect! (Poor Carpet ...)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sample of final product.

It was a fun project, definitely, but there is no room for perfectionism in stamp making. Straight, consistent lines are tough. Not bad for something I've only done a couple times before, if you ask me.

Flying Fortress Preflight

Hi friends. This is another "field trip" post wherein I am screenprinting a new design.

"Flying Fortress" will be my screen printing handle, for no reason other than that it has a nice ring to it. But here is a flagship shirt I created under that moniker.

She is beautiful but broken.

Gotta burn the image

Gotta flood the image

Glorious selfy

All done! It took some trial and error (which can be very costly) but I mastered it. I'm satisfied, but what do you think?

I'll be back this weekend with more fun stuff. Until then!

 PS:

These shirts are for sale, and it would be awesome if you wanted one, to show your support for the local arts, or for whatever reason! 

This first run consisted of 9 (NINE!) shirts total, so if you want some in this color be sure to let me know quick! 

They are currently only $10 (!), e-mail:

Jeffrey (at) Kidjerf (dot) com to order!

I Miss You

Desaturation for subtleties!

Somnus Wolfhound

Sry for the lull. Mainly that sorry is meant only for myself. I'm sorry, Jerfy. I'll make it up to you, let's go get milk shakes.

I dedicate this one to my car-dashboard ornament, Somnus Wolfhound.

Lord of Sleep.

Deer Skull

Going along with the aesthetic I laid down in my other post, here's another piece I was messing around with.

Coyote Slushie

Playing around with my tablet. I don't know why I like skulls and drips so much. Maybe I'm just succumbing to the masses. Doesn't that blue stuff look delicious? I bet it would give you a cavity.
