Yellow Bird Project. - The Indie Rock Poster Book

Yellow Bird Project or (YBP) began in the summer of 2006, when Matthew Stotland and Casey Cohen shared a dream of collaborating with their favorite indie rock bands to raise money for charity. Each participating band created an original piece of artwork, which was then printed onto shirts to sell and raise money for the bands' charity of choice. A couple of shirt-glory-filled years later, Matthew and Casey collaborated with genius illustrator Andy J. Miller on another creative outlet for art, music, and charity, The Indie Rock Coloring Book. The book aims to raise public awareness of their charitable initiative and to pay tribute to bands which have supported them in the past. The collaboration between Andy, Casey, and Matt was extremely successful and inspiring, and the trio realized that a follow-up was necessary. This time though, they wanted to do something bigger, with more people, and more color! Ergo, The Indie Rock Poster Book began to take shape.

YBP assembled a list of their favorite seminal indie rock songs, and, under Andy's art direction, selected thirty illustrators from around the world. Each illustrator was asked to choose a song with personal resonance that would serve as inspiration for their illustration. What emerged is a little slice of artistic and musical heaven. The posters that are inspired by bands which have contributed to the YBP shirt project are indicated with a yellow crown.

Prepare your minds, prep your walls, fire your decorator, and flex you creative muscles, because this journey takes artwork to a whole other Yellow Bird dimension. Indie band charity shirts, The Indie Rock Coloring Book and The Indie Rock Posterbook are all available through the YBP website: www.yellowbirdproject.com
