Every Move A Picture Returns After 12 Years

(2018. My latest artwork for their long awaited sophomore effort)

The indie dance-punk outfit Every Move a Picture were one of those groups that were lumped in with the mid-2000s trend with such line ups as The Bravery, The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem and Scissors for Lefty (another one of my clients). During this era, I invested my time freelancing my design services primary working with musicians. Most of the labor would involve creating concert posters, fliers, stickers, and even album covers.

One of the first bands that commission me back in 2006, was Every Move A Picture. A group with a finite lifespan that pretty much came and went within the same here. They're story is bittersweet as they only released one album and then vanished into the ether. To this day, I hold such a high affinity for this band since their style had a certain distinction from the aforementioned.

Twelve years later, I received a message via facebook from a familiar name asking me if I was interested in lending my services to help promote their comeback. To my chagrin, I immediately jumped on the opportunity and recently churned out some kick ass art that reflects the sound and era of the indie dance-punk scene. For those interested, they're latest single is available here https://soundcloud.com/every-move-a-picture/onthe-dance-floor

The 2000s may have been a polarizing decade, but one thing that stuck out the most for me, was the diverse and experimental music scene of the SF Bay Area.
