Fright Nights Flyer

8.5in x 11in, ink on 120lb bristol paper.

In 2019, Dark Matter Coffee began having Halloween themed events on Thursday nights throughout the month of October. To promote their events, they reached out to me to illustrate a flyer.

The solution was to create a striking image that would both draw the viewer in as well as unsettle them with Halloween-like spookiness. Drawing from my affinity for Medieval illuminated manuscripts, I hand wrote all blackletter typography used across the flyer.

In addition, I created social media imagery using the same artwork and adapted it to both Instagram and Facebook, outlets frequently used by Dark Matter Coffee.
