Flyer and Poster Design: FUTARO Acoustic Live at Cotton Dancer

This is my latest Flyer and Poster design works. Size is A3 and A6, printed to the natural paper and cardboard paper printed by RISOGRAPH. The coloring is the fluorescence orange and the navy to the A3 poster, and the vermilion and navy to the A6 flyer. Imaged from the late 1960's Psychedelic posters and the modern old school Reggae and Dub posters, the album cover artworks and the flyers. The top's logo is the original style of handwriting which I processed and was designed. It is written as the FUTARO with the Japanese Chinese character. This Chinese character was simplified from the formal style of handwriting. And I am future-like a figure and gave the worn-out feeling by aging to this character. Since it is printed by RISOGRAPH, printing is reproduced by multiplication with glassiness. Therefore, the portion with which the color has overlapped was transparent and the back color has overlapped. I traced and drew his photograph whose illustration of an artist is a performer by the AI. FUTARO which is a performer is the Folk-Rock musician. I drew the fender tele caster's neck which he has always used regularly. The following is his profile.

 Futaro’s messages in his lyrics permeates in to changing the clock hand into slow flow with the beat over the music divide with warm ambient. He encourages gently people who live the time made closely packed. And the heart of the rich susceptibility sometimes throws social various inconsistencies and questions into relief, and tells the tragedy which man's ego produced. Just like a Bob Marley...

Live on 2014 Sunday 22nd June. Floor open at 8pm - Performance start at 9pm. Entrance fee is 1,500 JPY with needs 1 drink order. Live at Bar Cotton Dancer. 11 min. walk from Kokura Station, Kitakyushu-City, Fukuoka, Japan.

Topic: ZABUTON the Japanese Floor Cushion

This is a Japanese cushion for sitting on the floor called ZABUTON. Japanese people sit down on a tatami traditionally, putting down this ZABUTON. It is indispensable to the tearoom in Japan which you also know. We chose this ZABUTON for the relaxation of a bedroom. A pattern like the quartz often looked at in the time of a mid-century by beautiful Burgundy like the wine of a deep taste. And this rope pattern mostly seen to the Edo period. The motif of the rope used for a fabric of Japan has a meaning. A rope is used, when connecting something or drawing something near. In a pattern, it is meaningful in "Drawing happiness near at hand." So, in Japan, a rope is an auspicious pattern. The history of the rope in Japan is old and goes back 16500 years before the present age. The Japanese who was living a primitive life had given the rope pattern to earthenware. The rope was used also for a ninja's communication of information.

RYPPLE: Timothy's "TUNE iN," 5.0oz Message T-Shirts

ASTRO:LOUNGE's Wooden Sign at Pasar Moon Festival

This is the signboard of ASTROLOUNGE made with the board of driftwood. This time, we opened a shop to the festival of an institution called PASAR MOON of Shimane Prefecture. I applied the paint to the board which became round with a white angle which flowed and reached. Since goods were the wife's handmade garments and miscellaneous goods, this signboard design was set to simple and natural SHABBY. The color of a lusterless background is very important. When there was much driftwood more, the signboard which becomes independent was able to be made. But, since it was lacking, it was hung by hemp cord on the tarp pole. It is written to the board of the bottom connected in Hemp cord as ASTROLOUNGE in katakana.

DOPE EYE 420 T-Shirts for SALE!!!

Big Frog Official Biography
Big Frog emerged on the Tokyo music scene in 1996. From the get-go, they crafted infectiously psychedelic grooves with the ability to cross over into multiple genres. Their penchant for long, improvisational jams brought something previously unseen to the Japanese music world. Their high-energy 2-set shows were constantly evolving and always unique. It didn’t take long for the freaks to start melting out of the woodwork and into the clubs to partake in these events, known as bleshings…And thus were born the BFH (Big Frog Heads). In recent years, prominent bands in the American jam scene have started recognizing Japan as a new frontier. Big Frog and their growing fan base have helped pave the way for some of these bands looking to make their mark in Japan. They’ve shared the stage with several such bands and have occasionally appeared as the opening act for bands such as Phish and Moe.. In 2000, Big Frog ventured away from Japan to play a short U.S. tour. They have since enjoyed several other stints in Europe and the states. In 2005, they played Moe.down, and were invited to engage in a band switch during one of Moe.’s sets. The band has undergone a few personnel changes over the years, and its musical style is in a perpetual state of metamorphosis. The current line-up features Sato on acoustic guitar / lead vocals, Ton on drums / sampling / vocals, Shimi on bass / vocals and Moccos on guitar / vocals. The band’s sound has evolved into straight-up rock-n-roll infused with elements from the frenetic energy of Tokyo surrounding them…A sort of hyper-hybrid Tokyo rock, if you will. Their repertoire touches on a myriad of themes, and the bulk of their songs are sung in English. Big Frog spends a great deal of its time touring throughout Japan, from remote backwaters to the big cities, and it’s not uncommon for the band to be on the road for months at a time. In 2005, they released their first studio album, Groovers on the Marble. Their second studio album is slated for release this summer. Check it out!

Sato (Vocals), Ton (Drums/Cho), Shimi (Bass/Cho), Moccos(Guitar/Cho)

Music Review of Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia

This post is a music review of GRATEFUL DEAD. GRATEFUL DEAD was formed in San Francisco in 1965. GRATEFUL DEAD was unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, jazz, psychedelia, and space rock and for live performances of long musical improvisation. GRATEFUL DEAD is only one in my favorite JAM BAND. Jerry Garcia is worshiped from DEAD HEADS godlike. Apparently, the origin of the name of GRATEFUL DEAD seems to have come from the Buddhism and Hinduism.

Because the review of GRATEFUL DEAD seems to become long, I will write slowly...

MARULA Flyer and Logo

This is my friend's apparel shop in Fukuoka Japan last. There were sell hemp clothings and some Japaanese hippie brand. They chiefly Tokyo Hemp Connection, PHATEE WARE, GRATEFUL DEAD and Skatebrands.

This design was motif requested from "Mexico" by the shop owner. Therefore, I arranged its coca leaves in four corners. And, peyote flower, cactus and mariachi were arranged. The logo of MARULA was made based on KALUHA of the coffee liqueur.

I made the clipping mask by passing the Photoshop. And, the logo was traced by the illustrator's vector drawing.
