The SEER is a personal deity I created some years back. It is a meditation on the question of earthly identity and persona, the seer and the seen.
When this version of the SEER emerged it immediately felt like a protective spirit, a tribute to past and present experience and the need to sever oneself in order to see things as they are, to face the present with fierce determination.
We are entities swathed in swirling decoration, experiential baggage, and emotional scars. When we can step away from this earthly body and see through the mask who is having the experience? When seemingly insurmountable obstacles present themselves how can we witness and proceed?
I channel the question through visual art. It’s a vital function and blessing I’ve cherished for my entire life. When the spirit feels untethered...turn within and create.

Shipping
Posters are shipped in a sturdy tube via USPS Priority mail.
I usually do mailorder fulfillment on Fridays but it can vary.
I've been offering posters via mailorder for over 15 years and pride myself on honesty and integrity. That said, the mail service is sometimes responsible for damage and/or loss.
In these very occasional cases I always replace your poster or refund the money. Thanks for your support! David

All posters are screen printed on a semi-automatic press. This is an analogue printing technique in which one color at a time is printed with mesh screens.
The majority of my posters are printed at Broken Press (Seattle) or Monolith Press (Alameda CA).
-
Yes. All of my posters are made in collaboration directly (or via management) with the band. In most cases bands have heavy input regarding the artwork.
-
No. Band posters are printed one time in a signed and numbered edition. In a few cases I have created a second edition for different show dates or tours. If this happens I usually also change the colorway and/or paper.
When an edition is “sold out”, it is literally sold out. In an age of “print on demand” services I feel I need to clarify this fact.
