For my artist edition I went back to the hurts-your-eyeballs-on-purpose color scheme, and had to print the fluorescent blue layer three times to get the right opacity.
Since the USA poster contained about 40 cities, I made an entire alphabet of characters, stopping just short of actually programming them into a custom font (which I’d like to learn how to do someday).

In spring 2014, the Counting Crows hired me to design and print their US summer tour poster. I was thrilled when they encouraged me to pursue a Bill Graham-era aesthetic, and I decided to emulate my hero Wes Wilson's incomparable typography and solid, vibrating colors. They loved the result but did have me tone down the colors a bit for the main edition (of which we printed over 3,000 — these were sold on tour and given to VIP patrons).
The poster was a big hit, and soon after the Crows hired me again to adapt the design for their European fall tour. There were about 1,000 in that main edition, and I made a couple of extremely-limited artist editions, available here for the first time.
