doug’s tour
This fall, Oklahoma City-based photographer Doug Schwarz followed LA-based band Normandie on tour. And I just happen to be designing for Normandie.

Normandie is a side project of theSTART – or another way to look at it, Doug also followed theSTART on tour because Normandie just happened to be in the same vehicle. Follow that? Hope so.

So it was fun when Doug pinged me and said he got my poster signed by everyone he talked to. It’s now part of his Wall of Inspiration (above); the signed poster (below).

tees-n-stuff
This year I also designed some tees for Normandie. They can be snagged via the new online Normandie store here. They’re running a holiday special too (details on page). One can also order a poster.

ink
It’s fun to see my type, ornament and heart circle showing up in the oddest places. Here’s a circle heart in wrist tattoo form (below), sported by fan Amber Rose:

Amber and Normandie’s Chelsea Davis; thanks for the photos Amber!
 

beloved circle
My latest design is for the Circle of the Beloved laminate credential (art above). A Franklin nets lifetime membership, pre-releases, bunch o cool stuff. Again, drop by the new Normandie store – mucho details there.

Here’s Normandie’s MySpace.

Plus, more tour photos from Doug:

Closed venue in Texas (whoops!)
