MagnaBrawl Poster

As Dave Cole sat pondering an original idea for his Magnaball poster, he found inspiration in his other passion in life, pro wrestling. Having recently broke his leg in a match, it allowed him time to dive into this piece. Inspired by old school wrestling, Cole made a variety of match types while trying to keep each different and themed.

The print is 11″ x 17″ and printed on glossy paper in an edition of 70

Order one here. Dave has agreed to donate 10% of sales to The Mockingbird Foundation.

Magnaball Pin and Poster from Kev Farrington

The newest piece from Kev Farrington is “Magna 2015″ and is a LE of 30 11″ x 17” print. “Magna 2015” exemplifies the balance of chaos and energy that the band will be bringing to Magnaball. The energy and the flow of the band are exemplified by the mandala-like image. The summer of 2015 has been a whirlwind of bust-outs, new songs, and intensely focused jamming all being balanced in a delicate and beautiful manor by the band. This piece moves in stride with their increasingly impressive performances this summer. Kev Farrington will be at Magnaball selling prints.

Along with the poster comes a pin, “MAGNA-DALA,” a triple-posted, back stamped, numbered out of 100, soft-enamel, part glow in the dark pin. The balance of jamming, listening, and solid execution by the band deserved a balanced and colorful design to remember it all properly. Pins will be available at the Magnaball festival and leftovers will be available online after the event.
