The offensive coordinator is a fraud, the athletic director is an embarrassment and the sidelines are getting Bauserbombed at an alarming rate. Join the movement.
This is the first unofficial poster for the 2011 season, you can download and print a higher-res version by clicking here. Below is another version I put together that I don't like as much as the above, but thought it worth sharing, you can grab a higher-res version of that one here.
A poster for the Wisco game is coming soon and will be available to purchase online as well as at Eleven Warrior's Eat Too Brutus 2011.
MPMF.11 proper got down in Cincinnati over the past weekend and, while I didn't get to see as much music as I normally would, I was honored to participate in the first Midpoint Midway. The midway was a series of art installations built into standard box-trucks. Lots of interesting and talented folks like Able, Losantiville and Soapbox were in on the action as well. I participated, as a member of Libre, in the Poster Expo which was currated by the creative team at Powerhouse Factories. Ourselves, Powerhouse, Southpaw, Keith Neltner and Rob Warnick all pitched in to build rock poster galleries in the back of our two trucks, and slung some special posters on the premesis.
If you didn't make it down to the Expo, you can purchase most of the stuff we had available at our shop.
You can see photos from the Expo, my Cut Copy Print, and a video I put together that was projected on the wall at the Expo. I also got some good shots of Cut Copy's amazing performance at Grammer's.
CUT COPY
Wife and I took our big honeymoon adventure last week. Travelling to the Cinque Terre and Florence via Nice, France. I took a whole boatload of photos. You can see some of my favorites here, and can view the whole set over on my Flickr.
My lil' sis, her boyfriend, Feyonce Knowles and I have been spending Thursday nights this summer watching David Lynch's whacked-out early 90's series "Twin Peaks." For my sister's 23rd b-day, I designed this map highlighting all the must see spots in the fictional town. I took inspiration from Lynch's original map as well as from some choice screenshots. Locations are speculative, but I used this site for those speculations.
See the full size map here.

Lots and lots going on, so I finally got around to sorting my photos from the stellar Maps & Atlases show a couple of weeks back on the square. MPMF put the show on and there was a great turnout, Libre was even able to sell some prints. There's a couple left so come see us on the square Friday nights.

Scenes from the fam's recent trip to Seabrook.
The first two MPMF Indie Summer shows went down over the past two Fridays. You, You're Awesome and Javelin kicked things off in week one with fun sets. And Neon Indian fought off the crazy storms last week and brought the chillwaves to downtown. MPMF Indie Summer takes place every Friday night through the summer on Fountain Square. It's free and there's beer and Libre is selling prints and stuff.
The first ever City Flea went down this past weekend on the corner of Vine and Central. There were tons of cool things to buy, eat and see. The organizers reached out to me to document the event, and the above video and below photos are what I saw. Give them a look, and spread the word because the City Flea is an awesome addition to downtown Cincinnati. See you at the next one (July 9).

As we continue to settle in to the new Libre spot on Main St, we're not letting a silly thing like unpacking get in the way of our productivity. We've knocked out three sharp posters over the past week, which you have no doubt noticed above. The Smith Westerns poster is currently hanging proudly at MOTR anticipating the sure to bonkers show on Saturday. The Javelin and MPMF Indie Summer prints were finished off last night, and will make their debut on the square tonight (Friday 6/3 for the You, You're Awesome (CD Release!) & Javelin show.
Tonight's festivities kick-off the summer long MPMF Indie Summer Series which bring high quality rock & roll to Fountain Square every Friday night. Libre plans on having a strong presence on the Square, with a new print each week, with a smattering of t-shirts and other hand-printed goods for your consumption.
As reward for getting yourself down to the Square and supporting the excellent MPMF.11 we'll be selling posters at a discounted price than you'll find at our shop (launching next week). See you on the square (and at MOTR).
Eat Local for the Globe poster contest. Posters were limited to one color and simply needed to express the theme of "Eat Local." I did not win, but was pleased with the results, so I thought I'd share. Maybe we'll do a run of something similar at Libre, we shall see. Congrats to the winners!
the National show at Music Hall last weekend and took the point-and-shoot along. Got mostly bad ones, but here's a few good ones. The show was part of the excellent 6th annual Music Now Festival, which curated by the National's Bryce Dessner.
Matt Moore's XYZ Axis Mural behind the YES Gallery on Clay St.
Last night (Cinco de Mayo) was the final evening for neighborhood awesomeness purveyor, Fork Heart Knife. Their friendly hospitality and killer brunch potatoes will be sorely missed on Main St.
