Artist Statement
“Last Wednesday was the LA stop on Gang of Four's "The Long Goodbye" final tour. I was honored to be asked by the band to design the tour poster, which is inspired by elements from their Entertainment album cover, their Damaged Goods EP back, and some of the band's lyrics. The Fonda Theater show was powerful and very emotional for me. If you don't know Gang of Four, they are post-punk pioneers who are great musically, with an excellent tension between funk, rhythm, and noise. I also love their lyrics, with many of their songs tackling subjects like consumption, capitalism, obsession with power
