We went through a period where we messed with the photo copier a bunch at one stage or another during the creation process. DWITT stumbled across this weird effect he did to a bunch of his illustrations chopping and stretching them into advanced versions of the original. Tenebrini took this one and put a layout to it with some type then printed it with Nolting.
For some reason this is the only black light poster to come out of Squad19 so far despite certain member’s penchants for psychedelics.
While we were printing this Tenebrini realized that the show was on a Sunday (the Lord’s day) and got creeped out.
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.
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.
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 [...]
The Reverend Horton Heat poster got us alot of attention on Gigposters.com which in turn drove a decent amount of traffic to our site. This one came about when Tenebrini and DWITT fed some spot illustrations through the Nolting filter and he spit this design back at them.
The first ever screen printed poster by Squad19. We foolishly set ourselves up for a printing struggle with the design by creating something that required half decent registration and trapping.
…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.
