Factoid about me #2: I designed a t-shirt for my favorite band, the Posies

Surfing on Ebay today I ran across an auction for a Posies t-shirt that I designed back in 1995. It's done in the style of the Archies/Josie and the Pussycats. I'm still quite proud of it. :)

Being a big fan, it was a fantastic experience for me. I took headshots of each of them for reference at the recording studio where they were working on Amazing Disgrace. I took some concert shots at the Velvet Elvis to nail down how they stood, held their instruments, etc. I went backstage at a few shows to talk with them about the project. But the coolest was going to Ken's house one afternoon and spending a couple hours listening to some gems from his record collection.

I got paid about $200 for the design and Jon later thanked me, because the shirt made them a lot of money. A job well done! :)
