In continuation of “every day is HALLOWEEN” here’s the BUFFALO BILL SILENCE OF THE LAMBS print I designed back in 2017.

Funny story - an outside company asked me to design a poster for Laura Jane Grace and their awesome band Against Me!. If you swipe through you can see the original gig poster. And the original art - which are still available... nudgenudge

FYI These were NEVER printed as Against Me posters.

So yeah that funny story… the band was so angry with the guy curating the tour posters that they wanted nothing to do with the artwork. The guy threatened legal action against the band (& management) and wanted us to do the same.

Yeah… NO.

It was a bummer that the artists were collateral damage from whatever this guy had done to piss off the band. He didn’t pay us and eventually, most of us stopped working with the guy. That’s another funny story…

The screens had been burned and it was on the press when I got the news. Luckily the printer was cool enough to let me switch out one of the screens to make this into an art print at the last minute.

So that’s how this became an art print.

The IDEA came about when I was I was talking to my buddy David @vannenwatches about starting the project and he was helping me brainstorm weird ideas that work for the band's aesthetic and also be iconic. He came up with "Buffalo Bill" and suggested I explore the characters from Silence of the Lambs. I LOVE that movie. It TERRIFIED me as a kid. The monsters were human and eerily reflected what was going on in the city where I had grown up - Milwaukee. ifyouknowthenyouknow
