Will Work for Good

These Are Powers

We’ve always wanted to do an album cover that we can hold up to our faces like they do on the internet. And here it is. Admittedly, the scale isn’t quite right for doing that. I mean, we did have other intentions. Regardless, we’re always psyched to do covers for bands that are truly truly awesome. We think our realization of These Are Powers’ “Candyman” vibes nicely with the music. Andy Curtin shot the images of our dude. Thanks dude. Oh and please buy a copy from Rvng Intl. Capish?

How Is My Friend

An exhibition by Karisa Senavitis & Kevin O’Neill
March 5th to 28th, 2010
Opening Reception Friday, March 5th 7pm to 10pm
Live With Animals 210 Kent Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11211

Live With Animals presents How Is My Friend an impromtu exhibition by Karisa Senavitis & Kevin O’Neill, collectively known as Will Work for Good. Senavitis and O’Neill present naively constructed symbols of solidarity (flags, posters, lapel pins, t-shirts, etc.) representing what they perceive as the good spirit and exuberance of local Haitian culture channeled through the positive vibes of a long-time Haitian friend who has been too-long out of communication.

The work makes no attempt to be an historical account of Haiti and chooses to make no overt comment or reference to the current tragedy. Rather, the perspective is more local/personal, expressed through recontextualized communications and unassuming visual cues adapted from emails, flyers, dvd packaging, television, logos and other typically mundane communications. The resulting work intends to send positive vibes back to the Haitian community and more specifically, to evoke a return email/visit/phone call from this good friend who is believed to be in Brooklyn.

There will be an Opening Reception on March 5 from 7pm to 10pm. Additional events during the month will be posted online at livewithanimals.org. A portion of proceeds from the sale of work will go to the Haitian Centers Council in Brooklyn to provide therapy and legal support to New York’s Haitians impacted by the earthquake.

Major Lazer “Keep it Going Louder”

This is the second video we worked on with Eric Wareheim and Fatal Farm. This one was for Major Lazer’s “Keep it Going Louder”. Similar to the process for “Pon De Floor”, we created a two-dimensional environment – in this case our version of a hyper-psych-dessert-dance club – that was brought to life by the Fatal Farm dudes and a cast of dancers that only Eric could come up with.

Ways of C-ing

Ways of C-ing is a 2 minute slideshow we designed as part of a presentation called Fan Letter for the launch of Post Typography’s new book Lettering & Type. Various designers, artists, musicians, etc. were asked to create a short ode to a specific letter with the intention of creating a somewhat complete, interpretive alphabet. Our letter was C. The work was presented at MICA in Baltimore, MD and at the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography in NYC. Bruce and Nolen are super kind bros and you should buy their book!

Pink Skull: Endless Bummer

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:32:45 +0000

For the design of Pink Skull’s latest LP “Endless Bummer” we thought it would make sense to create a process that would be a total bummer. We started by producing three offset-printed color versions of the record jacket containing all pertinent text content. A total of 1000 jackets were printed. Next, we created a list of 1000 things that could be considered “bummers”. We then letterpressed 900 jackets — each with a unique “bummer” — using wood type hand-set on a Vandercook press at Pyramid Atlantic in Silver Spring MD. Each jacket was then hand folded and glued. The remaining 100 jackets will be available at a higher cost with your own personalized bummer. All records come with a zine we designed using found imagery provided by the band. Buy one from Rvng Intl.
