Cabaret 5 goes Pulp

I LOVED making this poster. It was agony learning some new techniques to create the little "Halloween Special" skull portion, but totally worth it in the end! The original image came from a pulp novel book cover. I spent quite a bit of time matching up fonts to maintain the feel of the text.

thinq about it!

I have facebook and the cabaret to thank for this one. One of the past cabaret performers out out an open call to design a logo for a series of workshops he is conducting to educate new students in residence about queer issues.

Its my first logo! It took longer than a professional would have (6-8 as supposed to the typical 3-4) but it's mine and I love it!

cabaret bursts at the seams

Our first attempt at having the cabaret at a new venue. A lot changed. This poster has 3 incarnations. I like them all.

Everything you see on this blog is made with the Gnu Image Manipulation Program or GIMP. Except for this one. I didn't have access to my home computer at the time so I used Microsoft Word much to my chagrin.

Its also relevant to note that I took the base photograph. Both are from 2010.

The first cabaret was so fun, it became an establishment. My role of poster-maker became a badge of pride. This is where I really start having with it.

To date, this cabaret was my favourite. It had the best and loudest audience. I do not own the base image. 2010

the cabaret is born

It started when a fire spinner said, "I want to have a cabaret for my birthday."



Though today I am dissatisfied with this poster. It had to go up. 2009
