TIME TO BREAK OUT THE PINK LEATHER '69 COMEBACK SPECIAL SUIT
Jack White and myself have been nominated for a Grammy in the special packaging category for the Under Great White Northern Lights box set. My only sorrow is that they did not include Autumn de Wilde in the nomination as much of the packaging relied heavily upon her beautiful photographic record of the 2007 White Stripes tour of Canada. Her photos were the difference between making a table out of pine or making it out of cypress.
It's great to receive a nomination, but it's a thrill to have your designs standing alongside the excellence represented in the other nominees' work, in particular Vaughan Oliver and Klaus Voormann. Weird to be on the same ballot with guys whose art you wore on t-shirts in college.
SPOON CANDLE
Here's a plug for something I recently designed that's only available from the Spoon online store. It's a votive candle with my design printed in black directly on the glass. Are you praying to Spoon or just for otherworldly luck? I don't know but if I hit big on my next trip to the craps tables I'll thank Britt just in case.
You can get them exclusively the Spoon Online Store.

NEW POSTERS IN THE STORE
New posters for Avett Brothers, Julia's Eyes, and Black Keys in the store.
Avett Brothers Avett Brothers Julia's Eyes The Black Keys X
I also got to make a poster for one of my favorite films, X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes. Earlier in the year I based a Dead Weather gig poster on ideas found in this film, or more specifically the comic book adaptation that Gold Key put out. In the comic version, Professor Xavier sees a malevolent eye at the center of the universe sending out ravenous shades into the void. At the tent revival meeting he stumbles into, Xavier warns, "They are coming to devour us all! Larger than the stars, than the galaxies of stars! They are coming!", and then, as in the film, he tears out his eyes at the exhortation of the preacher.
The whole thing reminded me of the new Dead Weather stage backdrop designed by The Silent Giants. I imagined the eye Xavier screams about being the one glowing in the center of the backdrop sending out bad vibes with the band silhouettes standing in for its shadowy minions.
For the movie poster though I reworked it to better reflect the actual film. There Xavier only mentions the eye at the center of the universe watching us all. Even if you believe in a ubiquitous and omnipotent deity, imagine the insanity you'd suffer if you physically saw that deity watching you, each and every cell of your being with nothing hidden, at all times. You can believe that a deity does this, but actually seeing it happen all the time surely carries the soul-shattering force of a million Panopticons. Hopefully I managed to capture this unique and chilling situation in the poster for Alamo Drafthouse.
Oh, I was told Lars at Alamo presented Corman with one of the posters onstage during his Q&A for the film. They said he lauded it, but he could have just been put on the spot and felt obligated towards politeness.
WHITE STRIPES 2007 SETS
Sets will go on sale in February. I'm pre-packing them in January so they can go right out after purchase like the Dead Weather sets. I'll send out a newsletter email about it when it gets closer to as of yet undetermined sale date.

I just wish I didn't go and buy the ones I already bought. I will have to sell them most likely. Except the one I got with a doodle - (Nashville) which was pretty cool.Kaber wrote:A lot of the 33 posters in the set are keeperslove_islander wrote:most of them will be up on ebay before you know it anyway....

Does anyone have an idea as to how much the poster sets might cost?

I'm guessing around $1000. The DW set of only 20 was $650, and this set has 33.figure8angel wrote:Does anyone have an idea as to how much the poster sets might cost?

Probably $1300 plus shipping but that is a guess

If I have some money by February I will try to split a set with someone.
It will not be easy though cause I think most people like the same designs.
Although the seven seals is a nice set it doesnt appeal to me.
