Steve Good designs someo the coolest posters or rock-abilly gigs in the city and heinds inspiration in the mostunlikely places.

Shoe polish cans, shotgunshells, thumbtacks, match-books and beer labels, thebassist or rockabilly warri-ors ennessee Voodoo Coupetells me. I once designed a

Wanda Jackson poster basedon a vintage shirt tag, andone o my avorite posters

was inspired by an old polkaalbum I bought in Bualo.

You cant beat the oldstu, adds Good, who says hechecks out a lot o estate salesin the U.S. and fnds mid-cen-tury packaging to be a biginspiration.

I like the bold design o

Goods posters, but I espe-cially like their vintage look.

Ive always been a hugean o vintage styling, clothes,cars, music, architecture andart, he says. Im most obvi-ously inluenced by the art-

work o Hatch Show Print inNashville.

heyve been operatingsince 1897 and they did theiconic Hank Williams, ElvisPresley and Grand Ol Opryshow posters.

Good says hes also a big ano album cover art rom backin the day and says he wisheshe had more time to invest inhis work.

(Back then) all the type was set by hand by skilledartistic guys, he explains.Tey designed based on whatthey had on hand and the type

wasnt manipulated like it is

today. I try to capture that eel.Although I design on a Mac, Iwish I had the time and spaceto do letterpress.

As hes done or all the EastEnd Rockabilly Riot gigs, Gooddesigned the poster or thethird anniversary show at theDominion on Queen tomor-row. he triple-bill eatureshree Blue eardrops romChicago, ennessee VoodooCoupe and Lead Sled Rocketrom Oshawa.

Goods creative process iskick-started by looking aroundor good colour and interest-ing ont combinations. Andinspiration is ound in Te Arto Modern Rock: he PosterExplosion and in a couple ogreat books on vintage west-ern ashion.

I try to absorb all that or aday and then get the sketch-pad out and draw up someideas, the Centennial Col-lege journalism graduate says.

hen Ill grab a drink andsit by the Mac and see whatcomes out.

Good discussed how heconceptualized the poster ortomorrows show.

I got set up, set up a play-list o classic rockabilly andhonky-tonk and went to work.I happen to have a paper sam-ple book on my desk that

shows American politicalswag rom the 1880s through2008, he says. I latched ontothe I Like Ike era and wentrom there.

And since headliners TreeBlue eardrops hail rom theU.S., he decided to throwsome red and blue in themix.

Good gets loads o compli-ments or his work, but onestands out.

Hed designed a poster orWanda Jacksons birthdayshow at the Cadillac Loungeand asked her to sign a copyor his daughter.

She was very sweet andcalled over her husband andsaid, Wendal, this is the boy

who does all those nice post-ers or us.

NOTE:Doors open at 9 p.m.$10. 500 Queen St. E. 416-368-6893.

On the subject o eye-catch-ing art, I highly recommendtaking in Bollywood CinemaShowcards: Indian Film Artrom the 1950s to the 1980s,a gorgeous new exhibit at theRoyal Ontario Museum.

hese showcards combinepaint and photography andare a unique aspect o South

Asian visual culture, says Dr.Deepali Dewan, the ROMscurator o South Asian Arts &Culture. Tey were originallyproduced by local artists butusually thrown out at the endo a flms run. Its remarkablethat this collection has sur-vived at all.
