@mymorningjacket is currently on a 7-night run at the @thefillmore SF. Each night is represented by a color of the rainbow, in order.

When I got the call to do night GREEN, I felt this moment of purpose, like coming home. Having one of my favorite bands in the world think of me specifically based on my emotional support color and the fact that I’ve become known for….well, leaves. It’s an honor, a privilege and everything I ever worked for.

I’m so grateful to this band, to my friends at TMC and just to be here. I don’t take a single moment for granted. Thank you for being here for the ride.

Catch my poster for @adkmusicfest at Lake George this weekend. This led me to research “Georgie” the NY lake monster, who I can only assume is related to our Chesapeake Bay Chessie, at least by marriage.

Had a blast on this one. I’ve been in a broken appliance phase. It’s not a phase.

Cheers to @showmerchllc for the production and AD. Hope everyone has a safe and beautiful time. ❤️

Don’t ever let them tell you that you can’t reach exactly what you set out to do. 💀⚡️🌹After 5 years of unshakeable manifestation, I finally reached official @jerrygarcia work. I’m honored beyond belief to show you my print for the JG Symphonic Celebration ft. Philly Pops and some of the hottest musicians on the scene at @highmarkmann . Celebrating 60 years of @gratefuldead
How did I get so lucky? Thank you to my friends at @showmerchllc and Jerry’s team for believing in me and making this real. ⚡️ by @theplantedpen

New one for @tedeschitrucksband and @lukasnelsonofficial at the @greekberkeley . I was asked to create a commemorative venue gift for the band, crew and staff. What an honor. 🤝✨🙂

This one was directly inspired by the seating chart of the Greek. When I looked it up, the fan pattern made me think immediately of a peacock, so I dreamt up this goddess peacock statue inspired by Greek mythology. Of course I threw in some sacred botanicals from Ancient Greek stories.

Mythology is one of my FAVORITE THINGS. I had a blast on this. Thanks to Jess and the APE team, as always. ❤️

The thought of some of my favorite musicians on earth seeing and holding this, as a gift, is almost too much to bear. I’ve spent many years chasing days like this.

NFS, no APs.

New one for my friends @tbtduluth and @leftoversalmonmusic for their run at @dillonamphitheater .

What a treat to draw for two of my favorite bands on a single bill.

I did something aesthetically different for me and leaned into more border and a cleaner center composition, something we often have to think ahead on when the print is also an announce, admat, Facebook graphic etc.

I know what you’re thinking. When will it be enough snake borders for me?
🗣️ Never!

No APs, have fun. 🦉🐍 by @theplantedpen

New one for @joerussosalmostdead tour out West, ft. California Condor and some local plants, of course. ✨

Very grateful to Joe and the JRAD team for the opportunity and Andrew at @firecrestpress for the impeccable printing.

I’ll have paper and dreamy gold foils available on my site after tour wraps up. I’ll post a drop time on my story next week when I decide. 🤭

Hope everyone enjoys the shows. ✨ by @theplantedpen

I’ve officially held this in as long as possible. Here, at long last, is my venue gift print for the amazing @rksbandofficial

I was asked to create this commemorative poster to celebrate their tour stop though Cali and as a gift for the band, crew and staff that make shows happen!

My first question was “can I draw a cat?!”.

NFS, no APs, sorry!

Endless thanks to Jess and the APE crew.
I’m so stoked for this new chapter working with you. ❤️

Well I’ll be dammed. New poster for my beautiful friends in @railroadearth

I’ve tried to lead transparently as my unhinged crazy human self from the very beginning. It’s important to me to share my art with the world, but also relate on an emotional level with other people. It’s excruciating for me to admit, but the beginning of this year was so hard that I truly thought my career might be evaporating. Things were as bad as they’ve ever been, and I got really scared and really desperate. I tried to trust the universe, but eventually, I put out a line of desperation in my network. Allie and RRE were the first responders. They hooked me up with multiple gigs to keep me going —- and then all of a sudden, the floodgates blew wide open and I’m looking at the biggest summer of my career. I can’t explain it, but I am so grateful for it all and learning to trust it, even when it feels impossible.

Thanks for everything. I’m just so happy to be here. 🦫🪵✨ by @theplantedpen
