I made this a while back while listening to Dondante.  I believe at the moment I was some what blown away by how well their set lists are put together for live performances. Each song blends in perfectly with the one before and after it.  I mean sometimes I forget I'm listening to different songs.  I wanted to make a poster that illustrated that and incorporated my mood at the time.

By no means am I any kind of graphic design pro. Just do it for fun sometimes. Let me know what you guys think. 

Also I didn't draw the head!  I wish I had the talent to do that.  It was a sketch from someone's notebook online.  I wish I still had the original source.  I imported it into photoshop, colored it, etc etc.

I was at their New Orleans show last night.  Working on a poster for that one.

That is amazing! And good on you for crediting the drawing of Jim - but you can tell you really made it into something else entirely, not unlike how a remix works with music.  I think it reflects what you were trying to convey - that sense of seamlessness, etc.  The song titles hidden within adds to this.  I think it's cool how you sort of hid them in there. A casual glance wouldn't even notice it.

Kinda resembles that Iron and Wine album cover - great work!
