Today at a random time, we will be releasing Wes Winship's all new Baroness tour poster! Wes really brought the ruckus on this one, so we thought we'd show you a few images from the drawing table, all part of his creative process. Here's the initial rough concept. The main layout and puzzle pieces are arranged, creating a skeleton for the entire poster. The wings on the poster are based on actual real wings! They were actually originally part of Minneapolis artist Jake Keeler's piñata from our Cinco de Mayhem art show. Jake collected a pile of animal skeletal remains, spraypainted them silver, and arranged them into a hauntingly beautiful piñata. Wezz kept the bird wings, scanned them in, and added some shading and other hand-drawn manipulations. Some of the shading details Wes painted to add on to the wings. Wes has definitely been going hard with the watercolor portraits...

In 2007, my sister Susan's first daughter Hailey was born. I knew I wanted to give her a gift that I had made, so I designed what would become our Alphabet print. In 2010, when Susan had her son David, I designed him the Animal print. This past June, my brother Steven and his wife Samantha gave birth to their first baby boy named Lazlo, and I had to keep the tradition alive. I'm beyond excited to finally unveil the latest in this series of art prints dedicated to my niece and nephews, The World Travel Alphabet Print: Sam and Steven are avid world travelers and I have no doubt that they'll be bringing Lazlo along with them on their future globe-trotting adventures, so I wanted to create something that would inspire some traveling and exploration. I began brainstorming, sketching, and designing back in December 2012, shortly after I got...
