His Grohliness and The Hurricane Headbanger!
Every now and then completely random design opportunities fall into your lap with no way of knowing where they will end up... this time it landed on the torso of His Grohliness, Dave Grohl, in Billboard Magazine.
Last October, our local web celebrity Lane Pittman took to the streets during Hurrican Matthew with American Flag in hand to battle the storm with Slayer providing the soundtrack. The video went viral getting retweets from the Foo Fighters frontman, Slayer, and Ted Nugent. Over 18 Million Views In total I think, or something crazy like that.
A few weeks later Dave's people wrote Lane asking for shirts bearing his Hurrican Headbanger image. I had about 4 hours to make it happen so I threw this graphic together, sent it to the printer at about 2am and they shipped the shirts out the next day. Fast forward a month later and there she blows.
The kid that begged his grandmother to buy an album with a naked baby on it gets to come full circle all because of the internet and one of the most stressfull hurricanes I have had to endure. The world is a funny place sometimes. - TRON.
