I think postcards are an awesome way to advertise for a show, and as soon as Bible Stories comes out, I might do a short series of similarly ‘themed’ advertisements in order to create excitement and buzz. It’s only about two days work to make one of these, so it’s not too bad.
The inspiration for the guy in brown is a musician friend I made in Calgary, the talented Chris Tenz.
When Carisa and I were a couple, I would help her with a circus arts festival she called Light and Motion. This was a postcard ad I designed that also functioned as a ‘passport’. Unfortunately, no one used it for the intended purpose and it ended up being prohibitively expensive. Also, there were a bunch of spelling mistakes, typical Jake stuff.
Now renamed Prop Fest, it since has become a bi-annual festival. If you look hard enough, you can find me on their website.
