RAYE | Ryman Auditorium | Nashville, TN | April 29, 2026 | printed at Hatch Show Print WOW! I was so excited to create this poster for the OH-SO FABULOUS GAL, Raye. I used lots of different elements to get this look — curved type, open space blocks, carvings, and of course a photo plate. Inspired by Rayes’ vanity poster for the tour, I wanted this look to feel a little retro, a little Globe, a little Hatch, a little contemporary, and a lot RAYE. I used a historic half sheet block from the shop, “High Class” for the band at the bottom. You can see the original carving in the video. I love when I can sneak in old blocks from the shop to these new, commemorative posters.

I’m excited to share the second and third single covers I created for @northforkcrossing ✨ It was a lot of fun listening to the stories in the songs and creating these little worlds around them. Swipe for details! ✨ Can’t wait for the full record out May 1!

“Lonesome” by North Fork Crossing out now! 🌵 Excited to share the cover I created for @northforkcrossing first single off their upcoming record, Portland Rose. Can’t wait to share the other illustrations soon. Thanks for the trust, boys!

Billy Strings | Ryman Auditorium | Nashville, TN | February 22, 2026 | printed at Hatch Show Print 🥫 I knew I wanted to keep this design fairly minimal with one central image, and I was excited about playing with the tour copy incorporated into a vintage label. After I ideated a couple different product labels, I landed on a vintage tomato can. A homage to the Tennessee state fruit and major crop, and the icon of the East Nashville communities’ Tomato Fest. 🍅 After the idea took hold, I researched vintage tomato can labels specific to Tennessee. I played with the copy, such as “Hand Picked” in place of “Hand Packed,” and “Distributed By” for the venue. Three blocks were carved, with the key image in linoleum. Printed over two days at Hatch Show Print on the Miehle Pony, circa 1900, the poster came together. 🥫 It was really special to create something for a community that cherishes poster art and design so dearly. I hope y’all enjoy it as much as I had fun creating it.

First illustrated poster of 2026 for my buddies @goldenbarrelband at @skinnydennis_nash 🌵 I used inspiration from vintage packaging design, and baroque flourishes for this one. Come out on 1/22 if you’re in Nashville!

Making posters for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit on the Miehle Pony. 6 posters for The Ryman — come print with me :)

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit | Ryman Auditorium | November 16-18 & 23-25, 2025 💡 Super excited to share these 6 posters I designed and printed for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, 10th Anniversary Residency at the Ryman. Inspired by a New York City apartment building facade, the 3-color prints depict various themes from Isbells’ music and life. 💡 The carving is a nod to his lyrics, that provides a glimpse into the lives — both the struggles and triumphs —of everyday people. I created this new imagery for the prints, paired with some of my favorite type in the shop. 💡 As the residency progresses, different lights in the apartments come on, until all 10 lights are illuminated night 6.

I am so excited to share the merch I created for @avaswansong debut album, Sun Safari! 🌞 Ava and I first talked about this project back in the spring of 2024. From the beginning, the idea was to create a scene inspired by The Sun tarot card, with influences from the songs on the record. Ava trusted me with this vision, and I believe we landed on something really beautiful. We made the illustration into stickers, shirts and of course a carving that I letterpress printed. 🌞 It’s so fun working with friends! I am so grateful for our continued friendship and collaboration. 🌞 Come celebrate this project with Ava at the record release show tomorrow in Nashville! Details on their page.

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of creating these four single covers for @luciacomnes , inspired by her beautiful fiddle and vocal melodies. Thank you, Lucia, for trusting me with these designs and collaborating on them. The artwork is inspired by vintage playing cards and postage stamp symmetry, with a country twist. Each design’s central illustration reflects the stories behind the songs, which I had so much fun listening to and bringing to life. 🎻 All singles are out now!
