Maxwell's Miscellanea
For 15 years, I was the house artist at Maxwell's bar and nightclub in Hoboken, NJ, from 1998 until it closed in 2013. Below are just a handful of examples of some of the work that I did, including logo design, menu design, monthly band schedules, advertisements, and flyers.
Yo La Tengo 8 Nights of Hanukkah Poster
This 2007 poster for Yo La Tengo's annual Eight Nights of Hanukkah event at Maxwell's in Hoboken was sold at the shows as a limited edition. It was (obviously, if you know it) inspired by the old Saturday Night Live faux-commercial for "Jewess Jeans" featuring Gilda Radner.
Rye Coalition Poster
Poster done for a Rye Coalition show at Maxwell's in 2004, utilizing artwork from an issue of Hanna-Barbera Super TV Heroes.
John Doe / Grant-Lee Phillips Poster
