EAST SIDE BOOGIE

hynes — Mon, 14 May 2012 23:00:24 +0000

A 12″ record sleeve design for Voltaire Records. DMX Krew’s sound, according to Wikipedia, spans several electronic music genres but had mostly been rooted in early 80′s electro-pop/breakdance type music. Having limited knowledge of these particular genres I ended up with something that looks like a spectrum 48k crossed with the london underground map. I was also under explicit instruction that the sine wave not look like a giant line of coke, so it doesn’t. You can listen to it here if so inclined.

THE FILM FOUNDATION / MONDO POSTER SERIES

hynes — Thu, 03 May 2012 03:16:11 +0000

Mondo in association with the The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema have partnered with Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation, the leading non-profit organization dedicated to film preservation for a very special screening & poster series of eight classic films with beautifully restored 35mm prints. My poster design is for Alfred Hitchcock’s Shadow of A Doubt, regarded by many as the seminal Hitchcock film and Alfreds’ personal favorite. ”The movie follows a murderer on the lam (Joseph Cotten) visiting his relatives in Santa Rosa, Calif. and forming a strange bond with his rebellious niece (Teresa Wright). As she grows increasingly suspicious of her uncle’s motives, the young woman must reconcile her personal allegiances with a higher sense of moral responsibility” indiewire.

The GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE, in cooperation with Revolver Magazine, will debut Golden Gods: The History of Heavy Metal on April 11, 2012 to coincide with the annual Revolver Golden Gods Award Show.

Golden Gods: The History of Heavy Metal will be on display in The GRAMMY Museum’s Special Exhibits Gallery through February 2013.

JACK WHITE POSTER, TULSA OK. MARCH 15

hynes — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:10:19 +0000

Jack White screen printed concert poster for his sold out solo show at Cain’s Ballroom, Tulsa OK. on March 15th. 2012. The open handcuff is an obvious reference to the mans’ obsession with the number 3, it’s also a visual metaphor for breaking out and going it alone.

SPAMBOT 31.214.133.18

hynes — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:24:47 +0000

I’ve quickly grown tired of reading through the endless automated spam posted on my website looking for funny or interesting ones to pair up with my robot collages. I’ve discovered they are generally not funny or interesting but a recent one liner piqued my interest and inspired this new bot.

GRATEFUL HEAD

hynes — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:12:32 +0000

I spotted this piece of tissue paper on the road the other day and photographed it as found. I was hoping I could claim it resembled a profile of Beethoven or some American president and make a killing on ebay but after discerning that Beethoven didn’t have a beard and probably never wore sunglasses, i’ll have to settle for Jerry Garcia.
