Very happy to have worked alongside the folks at Converse to brand their Converse Rubber Tracks Live Boston homecoming. I was asked to create the collateral for five consecutive nights of shows at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA. We agreed on the theme of historic tavern signage, and I designed sign for each night and laid the graphic over an illustrated mass of eclectic Bostonians. Cornerstone Agency assembled some top-tier performers, and got them to perform sandwiched between a swelling crowd of living screaming fans, and my animated mass of illustrated fans.

In addition to drawing the posters, I was invited to make Show Drawn sketches. Each night was as fun to draw as the last. The eclectic roster brought-out the best characters from all sides of Boston.
