S.O.S. Save Our Sage

Just wanted to quick post this up; despite the event having long since past. I designed and screen printed a poster to promote and be sold for a benefit event on behalf of Sage Ugstad & her medical costs.

 

It printed nicely with a border on a few different colored stocks.

Mind the blur.

Lizzo Bangers Logo

Back in August, longtime friend and local rapper Lizzo asked me to come up with a logo for her debut album. After a lot of deliberation, we decided to go with this one:

As seen on various merch:

Congrats to Lizzo on all the critical acclaim she's been receiving as of late!

BONUS ROUND:
Some logo drafts from the brainstorming process:

GIGI x CLICHE x KID JERF

 Gigi Z. and I had a joint effort that took place at Cliche Minneapolis. I had the pleasure of displaying some of my artwork; six screenprints including three new ones.

Six models were chosen to showcase clothes that were not only from Cliche but also were interpretations of the six prints I had on display. Gigi did an amazing job styling:

Eleza | Chasm

Yasmin | Coven

Tasha | Lust

Gigi | Deckay

DJ Jim Frick (of WAKLYF) was also nice enough to spin for the show.

All photographs by the visionary SERENESUPREME.

Thanks to everyone who came out & was involved!
My pieces will be up through November so if you missed the opening night feel free to stop into Cliche anytime in the next month or so!

Foolish September

A flyer I designed

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.

Sing About Me

Ay! Made some album artwork for a new single by 1990 & the Larva Ink.

Check the track out the sveltly sexy Drum n' Bass track here.

Gigi X Cliche

Long time no see, right? Anyways, I threw together this flyer for an event my friend is hosting at Cliche in Minneapolis. If you dig female fashion, you should check it out. Short notice (it's tomorrow!) but I'm satisfied with the way the flyer turned out.

Youth Culture

This personal project comments on the sustainability of the ideals of youth culture. I used popular imagery associated with a certain sect of our generation that is consistently undefinable thus far by anything other than common material objects such as clothes and brands of products. It is a topic that, amongst my peers, has been beat into the ground without eradicating much of the mythos surrounding the definition of the movement that is: Hipsters.

Without going into too much detail on that subject (politics...) I thought I'd show you just some of the pieces that comprise this project:

 

Uptown Art Fair 2012

Hello, it's me. It's been a while, hasn't it? Have you been thinking of me, like I've been thinking of you? Fond memories... Passion filled rendezvous... Heart-wrenching goodbyes...

Woah woah woah, got a little side tracked. Anyways, I came up with a submission for the Uptown [Minneapolis] Art Fair t-shirts this year. It's simple, but I wanted to appeal to a wide demographic. Hopefully I win! But no hard feelings if I don't, I had fun making it.

The font was designed by Måns Grebäck, and I added the reflection-type flourishes.

A quick mock-up.

Cheapo DJ Night Beta

This was a quick & dirty poster I did for me & my coworkers. Check us DJ (me included) every Monday at Cause, Lake & Lyndale, MPLS!

This is just a preliminary flyer to get the word out. If things go well, I may get to do another/screenprinted posters.

Love Letter to MPLS

I finally got to start screen printing some of my designs, I'm psyched! I took some pics for y'all (which you may not find as interesting as I do, but anyways,) sorry about the low-quality cellphone pics!

The first design I printed was commissioned by Shameless Inc. and it was based on a design I showed you in an earlier post (Love Note to MPLS). The design was modified to this end:

My babies...

 

...They grow so quickly.

Pretty cool right?? Hand printed by yours truly and available at Shameless' Storefront on Franklin & Hennepin and soon to come online. I'll talk about that more later though.

I also hand-deliver, if you're in the MN area and are interested in one, as well as ship. Get at me if you're interested! 

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 18 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!
