2010 Lilith Fair Tour- DTE

To my friends in Michigan, Lilith Fair tour is coming to DTE on wednesday. Here is a little behind the scenes info you might not know.

I was lucky enough to be called to handle the production layout of all three stages and the banners for the tour. What this means is I spec’d the stage color, did the layout of the art files for printing which includes graphic element placement, making sure files are prepped properly so that the printing goes without a hitch. I have to say I am honored and humbled when I see images of such huge music icons on stage with artwork that came off my computer behind them. Very cool!

New 2010 tour art.

Crazy days making art lately. Last week, after coming back from a working vacation, I put in a few long days. Longest one was 20 hours. Nice to be needed. I’m woking on a new stage right now that will be pretty friken insane. Pissed off! It’s pretty much a life size building that has been burned out and abandoned. Won’t say who for but they are pretty much the hardest rockin band that I’ve ever worked for. the stage should be just nuts scary. tour start end of the month. will post stuff when I can.

I wanted to share a couple of links to images of art I created for stages of tours that are going on now.

First, as you know, I’ve been working for Uncle Ted for over 18 years now. So here is a link to a pretty cool pic of the backdrop I did for him.

In extreme contrast. I was lucky enough to get the call to do the production layout for the Lilith Fair Tour, 2010. Very cool to be a part of such an iconic event. I worked with a team in the UK to pull together the designs for the main, B and C stages including layout, color spec etc. I also did the layout for the village banners etc. So cool to see pictures on the internet of people like Sheryl Crow, Nora Jones, The Bangles, Sugar Land etc….standing on stage with graphics behind them that I created sitting at the same desk I am sitting at now. It’s almost unreal to me.

Here are a couple Lilith links. Hope you enjoy.

Glee tv show concert tour uses stage drapes featuring my design.

I was looking around on line and found some images of drapes that I created the graphics for being used on the recent tour of the TV show Glee. I thought I’d share a link to the images.

Little Big Town Stage drape design.

Here is a link to a “Huge” .jpg of the stage drapes I designed for Little Big Town. (see detail). Loved doing this piece. First time I ever designed antique, distressed wallpaper. A complex repeating pattern.

As Always, thank you to my friend Megan for the gig.
