About this poster

Man, where to even start with this one. My poster for @primusville tonight in Irving TX. This weird goddamned poster is actually rather personal. I didn't even think about the band really, other than knowing Primus of all bands would be OK with me doing what I *needed to* creatively, what my brain had to get out. Not getting too into specifics, but my wife has been very very sick the last two months, a quarter step above outright disabled, and its been an intense engulfing and terrifying experience for our family. There's an old house in Florence MA on the way to her doctor's office that someone's been slowly gutting, and I've been watching this play out in real time as we pass it, which has been a regular thing since I was near death back in January and February. I've been thinking about our failing medical system, about Hygieia the goddess of health, angry about prayer, about the fun trip to CA we were supposed to take with our 5 year old daughter, about the fast food I stress eat in the car, about this beautiful person in my life threaded to a hospital bed, to an ambulance, to a failing house that hopefully gets rebuilt, and all I can do is stand atop it all and try and do my best to keep it together. so I drew that? And then I put the name PRIMUS underneath it, who are now the official carrier of these feelings. And then we did our best to print it despite the 1-ton press falling over and catching on fire last week, despite sheer exhaustion and stress, resulting in a print that has some old school screenprinting charm and imperfections and two guys who have learned a little bit more about ink flooding for next time. We're all just doing our best. Then fedex sent them to the wrong state, and I didn't sleep out of pure anxiety because California is not Texas. Anyways. I made a Primus poster, I hope you like it. There's some at the show, I'll have some. Hug your people. Xo

The artist later released we're all just doing our best, threaded to a hospital bed, an art print featuring a similar design.
