T-Bone & Aljax / ABNRML 'STARS' Poster

This is by far the creepiest ABNRML print we have done yet! This is the new poster for Stars' Thursday, June 3rd 2010 performance in Philadelphia, PA. The show is at the First Unitarian Church and is the kick off show of the new tour in support of their new album 'The Five Ghosts'. We were instructed to keep to the theme of the album for the poster design. We enlisted the design skills of T&A and they came up with this creepy 2-color print. Both the silver and gold were screened with metallic inks. Only 50 of these 19"x19" prints were screened and will be available at Stars' merch stand at the show and from ABNRML on our future web store! (yes, store!) ABNRML have been big fans of Stars for a long time so we are very pleased to produce this print! While albums ago, Set Yourself on Fire is still one of the best albums ever made. We have high hopes for the new one!

American Babies 'Weight of the World' EP

Head on over to AmericanBabies.net to see the new band website and read about Tom Hamilton's (American Babies, Brothers Past) and his Americana-rock based group American Babies new EP 'Weight of the World'. The CD release party will be in April at the World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, PA. The album art was a concept and design developed by Hamilton and after the success of our projects with Brothers Past, ABNRML was approached by Tom to help get it touched up, finalized and print ready. As with most things art, we enlisted the help of T-Bone and Aljax. The final product turned out great. Stay tuned for our work on American Babies LP 'Flawed Logic' release later this year.
