NEW DESIGN: WuTang Clan x Phranchyze at Emo's

Here is a poster/flier we designed for the upcoming Wu Tang Clan and Phranchyze show at Emo's on Saturday, December 11th.
From what I understand the whole clan minus Ole Dirty (R.I.P) will be on hand to bring the ruckus. Hometown hero, Phranchyze offer support hot off the release of his latest project "The Black Larry Bird" should be an awesome show.

OXBLOOD FEST 2010 in pictures

Being that OXBLOOD FEST was about two weeks ago and the details are now pretty blurry...heres some photos to best describe what went on.

24 hr painting session by Marc Zuazua and Art Vader- heres a pic of the finished piece---also for sale. contact us for more info.



There were like 3 glass blowing shops on hand who were working on location--it was pretty cool.








Henry and the Invisibles was a great act, who had a great r and b, dance sorta vibe. cool act.

The Hi Tones killed a set with lead singer Johny Flores at the helms.





ART and such.


Muggzy Flowz and Promise Pseudo grabbed mic in the afternoon to let folk know wht time it was.

NEW DESIGN: 9th Wonder poster/flier for Oxblood Fest

Heres another poster/flier designand illustartion we did for the upcoming OXBLOOD FEST who will have grammy winning 9th Wonder headlining.
We loved the deign concept because of our old time love for comics. I wanted it to be somehwat Frank Milleresque so went with the splatter route to create negative and positive space. Designed using Illustartor.
Enjoy.

Shadow Paradigm Office..our latest murals

Heres some pictures from inside the Shadow Paradigm office...We helped to paint and imagine this space. The Austin office is home to the management,creative services, and networking of some of Austin's favorite musicians.

The murals showcase emcee Phranchyze, bluesman Gary Clark Jr. , and rock band Hour Band, and soon will feature images for electronic musicians Chopigula.

The space is a community all in its own.
We were happy to work on this project with some of our best friends including artist Rick Osborne as well as the make it happen dude, Kris Krishna.

Everybody in all of these bands as well as friends helped to see this project from start to finish. This space was worked with new flooring, new paint from top to bottom and well pretty much had the input of everyone involved.

Be warned- SHADOW PARADIGM is taking over.

So as Wed morning approached, we were off to Sole Fresco to set up for Phranchyze's CD release of "The Black Larry Bird". The day party at the sneaker store was just what was needed to get the music portion of 5xSW started.

soooo after the 4 hour day party, we had just about an hour to kill before we needed to be at the evening party we were painting at...so we met up with some friends at the Fader Fort to catch "special guests" which turned out to be Nas and Damian Marley....not bad, not bad at all.

Awesome performance by the collaborative effort of NAs and Marley, I cant wait to hear the album they will release soon.

After that awesomeness we headed south a bit to South Austin Soul where the Hiotwire Unlimited x Studio A party was being held..this party was bonkers, however, we didnt get much shots....heres a few we did get.

Gary Clark Jr. performed some new material, and killed it. Gary will sooon be taking stage with some guitar legends in Chicago as he plays the crictically acclaimed Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival. big ups to an ATX representer.
