The National Gig Poster

The National has been one of my favorite bands for as long as I can remember and to this day, this is still one of my all-time favorite projects that I’ve worked on. The artwork is based off of the track “Graceless” on the album, Trouble Will Find Me.

Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

The track is fast-paced and raucous so I zeroed in on that feeling with heavily-shadowing the band name, rough cut outs of real flowers, and an illustrated vase.
