Haunted Graffiti

October 2010
Unfold asked me to make the poster for their October issue of any upcoming event in Amsterdam and I chose Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti concert happening in the Bitterzoet October 17th. I love everything about Ariel Pink’s music and steez so it was a no brainer. The main idea was wanting to make a poster that was visible both vertically and horizontally and of course in my tradition to not use photoshop. So I made a whole kind of haunted house set of a paper couch, table and lamp on the wall and cliche’ blood dripping in pink with a giant cross stitch. Then I activated it with my “Ghost” Ayumi Suzuki & Billy the Dog having them jump in the air reminiscent of this Dali portrait Atomicus where they all jump in the air and the moment is just captured as if they were floating (*instead of water we threw strawberry milk). The last idea was that it worked both as a poster and a video. I want to give credit, thanks and much much love to: Ayumi Suzuki, Wendy Tjon a Hie, Steve Korver, Elmer Ko, Caetano Carvalho & Billy the dog for making this shoot so effing incredibly fun and thanks to Steven McCarron & Russell Joyce for the gig!
