More Lava Lounge goodness.

A couple more recent posters for the Lava Lounge, with limited colours to enable an easy transferral into screenprints. The first one was for the fantastic German/French beat band Curlee Wurlee, a one man band from Uruguay (Amazing One Man Band) and a one man band from Brazil (the confusingly titled Fabulous GoGo Boy From Alabama). 
     With slime green and flying records on one poster, and a fetching blue and red scheme on the other, I was playing with design ideas, experimenting with layout on one and layering on the other.

Hodad Records

I designed this label for a split 7" with Thee Ludds on one side, and my 'popular beat combo' The No-Brainers on the flip. Inspired by the lovely rekkid labels from the 50's/60's, especially the excello label, and in limited colours (black and wiener brown) to keep costs down. 
Hand lettered, with a record spinning hand forming the O and D, the low-rent production values suit the slop on the vinyl. Here's Michael Fish helping us to flog the finished product:
And here's my handiwork plucked from the racks of Rough Trade in East London, who, if you're lucky, may still have a copy for you to wow your friends with HERE.
