David Welker is releasing a couple of posters and a print today, one of the them his first ever on Foil paper.
First up is the poster for one of David's favorite bands, Built To Spill. The poster for the recent Denver show is 12x21" three color metallic screen print in an edition of 90.
I asked David the idea behind the design, here is what he said:
The concept has to do with unlocking mysticism in daily life. For me the interplay between Doug Martsch's lyrics and his guitar playing mirrors a certain leap of consciousness that happens when you have an epiphany during a mundane task. When we remove the veil of one reality we find a thousand other realities all happening at the same time.
When I was a kid I had a recurring dream about 3 UFO's hovering over my backyard. It was always the same "first contact" sort of thrill and it was always comforting to know we were being visited.
The Built To Spill song "Going Against Your Mind" eludes to a similar notion.
When I was a kid I saw a light
Floating high above the trees one night
Thought ‘twas an alien
Turned out to be just god
