84 METHANE STUDIOS
OK Productions, founded by Alex Weiss, is an Atlanta-based show and
concert promoter. This hand-screened poster was used to promote a concert
by Band of Horses, an indie rock band from Seattle that Pitchfork
Media called “quietly innovative and genuinely refreshing.”
The poster gives a sense of the music. “It has a loose feel and
was created by good old ink and brush, which is my favorite way of
working when I’m going for that type of look,” says designer/illustrator
Mark McDevitt, who is cofounder of Methane Studios with
fellow Ohioan Robert Lee. “It also matched the loose, ragged,
organic feel of the music. I’m pretty satisfied with how this came
out. I tried to avoid having a horse featured since it was an obvious
choice, but sometimes that works in favor of the artwork.”
