Dead Idol Design and Productions LLC

It’s that time of the month again!  This month’s theme for the Tacoma Cult Movie Club is “Just Say No!”  For this month’s design, we decided to do a play on one of the original theatrical posters for “Reefer Madness,” the drug movie of all drug movies.  This month’s poster design can be seen below (click on it for higher resolution version), and the original poster design can be seen here.

As always, the event will be held at the Acme Grub Cage.  Admission and popcorn are free, but you must provide your own beverages.  Check it out!

As of June 2010, Dead Idol Design and Productions will be the official designer of the Tacoma Cult Movie Club’s event material.  This month’s theme is “Kids Do the Darnedest Things.”  As always, it will be held at the Acme Grub Cage on Sunday, June 13th.  Admission and popcorn are free, but you must provide your own beverages.  Check out the poster below!

We are very happy to be a part of the Tacoma Cult Movie Club.  They are a wonderful group of people with great tastes in movies.

Check back every month for announcements on their new events, as well as sneak peaks at each of the posters!

This morning we’re releasing another HUGE batch of Geeks Who Drink pub trivia boards.  You can check out the entire collection here (new ones have been added to the beginning).

How many can you guess correctly?

Be sure to pick up this week’s issue of The Tacoma Weekly Volcano.  It features a cover designed by and starring none other than your’s truly, Holland Hume.  The full size version, in turn, can be seen here.

After sorting out the legal issues and making sure everyone was happy, we’re pleased to announce a new section devoted to our work with Geeks Who Drink.

Geeks Who Drink is a Colorado-based pub trivia company that hosts games throughout the U.S.  They’re a great bunch of people and one of our favorite clients to work with.

We have way too many quizzes to show them all off (the number increases by 5-10 EVERY WEEK), but keep your eyes on this new section of our graphic design page for regular updates of our favorite quizzes done for them.

Like the quizzes?  Want to know the answers?  Visit the Geeks Who Drink homepage today and find a participating bar near you!

Hi guys, Holland Hume here.  I decided to start talking to you guys myself on these news posts.  A little more personal, don’t you think?  : )

I decided to submit a design to The International Skateboard Art Competition 2009 at ArtOnGrip.com.  Below is a smaller version of the design.  The (semi) full resolution image can be found here.

“Even Tengus Get the Blues”

What do you think?  I’d love to get your input on the design.  Leave those comments and let us know what you think!

We’ll know January 15th if I win!  Here’s to hoping!

Our founder and lead designer Holland Hume was recently featured in the local Tacoma artist’s Boogeyman Show on Friday the 13th at Jazzbones in Tacoma.  The Tacoma Weekly wrote an article on it which featured a shot of Holland’s painting!  This is a tremendous honor and we would like to take the time to congratulate Holland on this.

We would also like to take this time to point out a new section of the site which features Holland’s artwork.  Some of the pieces are for sale.  Interested buyers can contact Holland via the email on our contact page.

We’ve recently finished a short web spot for our friends at Hip and Naughty.com, the alternative language tape group that’s sweeping the internet by storm.  They’re a great bunch of guys with a great concept on their hands.  We can’t wait for the Japanese volume!

You can watch the spot via youtube on our videos page, or for blip.tv support simply click the image below:

But what is Hip and Naughty?  What exactly are they all about?

Confused by these fine people’s testimonials?  Find out for yourself what all the hubbub is about at www.hipandnaughty.com.  Trust us: learning a language has never been so fun (or so risqué)!

We have a new clip for our largest client, The Official Ed Hume Blog.  The clip was shot, produced, edited, and even performed by our very own Holland Hume and focuses on painting pumpkins this Halloween rather than carving them.

To watch the clip via a youtube player, you may watch the clip on our video page.  For blip.tv viewers, simply click the video below to begin playing:

We’d also like to take the time to send out a special thank you to Tianna Vernon.  Without her hard work, artistic talent, and beautiful pumpkins, none of this would have been possible.  Thank you, Tianna!

This week, The Tacoma Weekly Volcano is featuring another cover from our founder Holland Hume.  The Super Spooky Halloween Issue will be on newsstands from October 22nd to October 28th, so pick one up while you have the chance!

Also, for our die-hard fans (we know you’re out there), be sure to check out the shirt designs that didn’t make the cut.  We will be having a poll in the next week to see which of our designs will be included in our first run of t-shirts!

Stay tuned for more info.  Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.
