Nat “funnelbc”, creator of the CDM logo and graphic appearance, took on a project the rest of us at Team CDM thought was completely insane: make 28 gig posters, in 28 days, for free.

Miraculously, Nat has escaped alive, and the results are fantastic. Good luck paying a designer to give you gig posters like this. These two warm my heart because of their digital music create-i-ness:

Gig Posters Archives

Have a gig coming up? Need a rocking poster to publicise said gig to the wider community? You should check out Nat’s 28 Posters in 28 Days Poster Challenge! You know you’re going to get a great result, because Nat designed this here website, and CDMo, and the forums. You should get in quick, however, because he doesn’t seem to be starting out in the most positive frame of mind:

They said I couldn’t do it! My girlfriend said I couldn’t do it. I don’t think I can do it… Let me preface this by saying that I have a sneaking suspicion that this isn’t one of my brightest ideas. Good? Clear? Okay.

For the month of February, I am going to attempt to do 1 FREE gig poster per day.

That means I need details for 28 gigs and bands who want posters done. Starting tomorrow, the 1st of February. 

What do you mean, we’ve never had a cartoon of the week before and probably never will again? And what do you mean, Music Thing has covered it already? (So, my informant Adrian Anders has a tendency to submit tips to multiple blogs and I was traveling this weekend . . . what do you want?)

CDM proudly presents another coveted Cartoon of the Week, to Rock Gods of Rock, for achievement in creating a cartoon about a magic guitar, trans-dimensional fights against lousy R&B-driven pop babes, and bad cleavage jokes. Random cartoonists, we salute you. Bonus points: Guitar/bass/keyboard trio: because no band is complete without a keyboard. (Here that, 80% of guitar bands in America?)

Send your submissions for next week’s cartoon of the week (cough, cough!) to Create Digital Music, care of the Low Frequency Oscillator Tower, New York, NY.
