Nada Surf / Trocadero Theatre / 09.27.03
Still figuring out what the hell we were doing in regards to burning screens and whatnot… we only got 20 of these from the run. Nolting wished he had used cocks instead of lightning bolts.
Electric 6 / 7th Street Entry / 10.16.03
Our first dabblings with Process Inks. DWITT did a painting and scanned it and handed it off to Nolting who separated it into CMYK and messed with it further adding halftones made out of lightning bolts.
Built To Spill / Beta Bar / 10.14.03
At the time when we collaborated on a piece DWITT would do an illustration of some sort without text and Nate or Tenebrni would do typography and some sort of layout. We’d go back and forth a bunch of times with it until we were all happy with the way it looked. In this case [...]

Exercise / 7th Street Entry / 05.30.03
…it was with this 11×17 Xerox flier that Tenebrini, DWITT and Nolting started looking into the collaborative approach to poster design. The idea was that once you handed it off you had to let go and let the next guy do whatever. No complaints. Sometimes they would go a few rounds. One just had to respond to what he received until we all felt it was done.
Vulvox / Uptown Bar / 11.08.02
These girls are just friends. This would be the first ever gigposter by Squad19. Handywork of Joe Morris who’s friend was the guitar player in the band at the time, this was a color xerox flyer.
