DrinkingtheInk Helps Bring Mud Bugs to Aggie Land

And the Aggies rejoiced and it was so...

I got contracted in February to design an event poster for an upcoming Crawfish Festival to be held on Northgate the last weekend in March. I've done quite a bit of event promotion in the Bryan/College Station area. This event is to be put on by Maroon Weekly, the local non-university affiliated student rag, whose owner, Mick Maynard, has done an excellent job of bringing real student-oriented entertainment events to College Station (see Lonestar Beatdown, aforementioned student rag) by using the many arms of his Legacy Media flagship, and this broo-ha-ha should prove no different. Word is they're even shedding enough penny to bring in some legitimate musical acts. Hopefully that doesn't mean another College Station appearance by Sister Hazel (thanks for shit, Northgate Music Festival 2007!).

I liked this job because I got to have fun with some roots of mine, being that I'm from Loo-zee-anner. I've always loved the visual ambiance of Acadiana thanks in large part to the artistic leavings of the French. If you live in College Station you should be seeing these start to show up on board around town, in print, and being advertised on local radio. I'll hopefully be playing the spoils system by having my band show up as well.

Anyway, here's for your eyeballs: (click for larger image)
