Eddie Vedder Melbourne Print

I loved visiting Melbourne in 2009, and can't wait to come back with the family. I stayed in St. Kilda and explored Melbourne by bus, tram and foot. Beautiful place, great people. I jumped at the opportunity to do a poster for Eddie Vedder playing at the Palais Theatre, which was around the corner from my hotel. I even had my own photos of the venue and the creepy/cool Luna Park head. I used my own photo reference for the Melbourne skyline (as seen from St. Kilda pier). Available at my store- www.potatostamp.com


This print matches up with the Brisbane print to complete a diptych. It was a lot of work, all hand drawn, but I like the results....

Eddie Vedder Screenprint

I was asked to design a poster for Eddie Vedder's Australian solo tour. I have a deep love for Australia- the people, the culture, the wildlife; I had a wonderful time visiting and can't wait to go back. I wanted this poster to reflect Eddie Vedder's rich acoustic storytelling mixed with elements of Brisbane and my own personal observations of Australia.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm continuing to try new techniques in screenprinting and feeling more confident. I know the actual printing is a somewhat mechanical process, so I continue to hand draw as much as I can on my light table.
