A set of screen printed concert posters for the opening three nights of The Kills tour, on the road in support of their new album Ash and Ice. For a band that seems to celebrate smoking as much as the Kills do, I felt defiantly defacing the ubiquitous warning label from cigarette packs was the only direction to take for this poster.
I have always wanted to put a hole through a stack of posters for various reasons. As it turns out, it’s quite a bit more complicated than I had guessed if any degree of control is to be maintained. After a few near disasters and a little expert help there were only a couple of poster casualties and I think the end result is pretty convincing with each ‘cigarette burn’ being unique to each poster.
