“I generally always look for a narrative when I’m approaching my posters. A kind of storytelling. When I took this on, I did what I usually do and read through many song titles and lyrics to look for a spark. Since Gord was such a storyteller as well through his lyrics, it was an easy fit.
I momentarily dabbled with New Orleans is Sinking, as I had just returned from there just by chance, and the city was still locked in my head.
However, I kept going back to Ahead By A Century, it’s themes calling to me visually. After some web walking I found out this was the last song the band ever played together, as they took their final bow in front of all of Canada. Videos of emotional fans from across the country just hit me internally. I knew then I had to honor that. And hopefully the poster is successful as a result.”
