itchy-O

Itchy-O is a Denver-based performance group known for their immersive, ritualistic shows that blend music, mysticism, and spectacle. My work with them spans tour posters, social media graphics, and animations—each piece designed to reflect the band’s rich internal mythology and distinct visual identity.

10th Annual Hallowmass
Expurgo! Poster
2024
Hallowmass is Itchy-O’s most significant annual event, held each Halloween season in Denver. For the 10th anniversary, the client requested a design rich in symbolism—particularly the use of threes, representing the three-night run and the spiritual themes of death, mourning, and transformation.
The poster builds on established Hallowmass iconography, including skeletons and skulls, while drawing visual inspiration from tarot card design. Mystical seals (hands), runes, and sygils from the band’s lore were integrated to reinforce the ritualistic tone of the event. 
Colorado Springs – Blacksheep Poster
2024
This poster was designed for Itchy-O’s show at the Blacksheep in Colorado Springs. The visual approach draws inspiration from posters from Alejandro Jodorowsky's films and post-punk aesthetics, blending surreal imagery with a stark, high-contrast palette. Symbols from the band’s lore are included throughout the design, along with multiple hidden messages for audience members to decode, adding an interactive layer that deepens the connection to the group’s mythology.
Bay Area Tour Poster
A Tale of Two Rites - The Split Sygil
2025
This poster was created for a two-show tour in the Bay Area by Itchy-O, a band known for their ritualistic performances and immersive soundscapes. Unlike their established presence in Denver, Itchy-O’s identity is less defined in this region. The goal was to design a piece that introduces their mythos to a new audience. Drawing from occult symbology—specifically sygils believed to enhance creative energy—the poster evokes the mysterious, ceremonial nature of the band. It sets the tone for an experience that goes beyond a typical concert, hinting at the ritualistic storytelling that defines their live performances.
Intergalactic Masquerade
2023
The Intergalactic Masquerade is Itchy-O’s most playful annual event, with visuals that lean into humor and surrealism. For the 2023 show, the client requested a concept that felt like an alien looking out from behind a human mask on a strange exo-planet. 
The final design combines eerie sci-fi aesthetics with a sillier tone, staying true to the spirit of the event. Shown here are multiple format adaptations, including versions for print, social media, event headers, and a short animated reel used for Instagram promotion.
Hallowmass Story Posts
2022
These social media story graphics were created to support the Hallowmass 2022 campaign. The initial teaser featured an original owl illustration and design I created before the official poster was released. Once the final artwork was completed by another artist, I adapted elements from their design, including fonts, floral motifs, and textures. These were used to produce a cohesive set of story-sized graphics for daily posting across platforms.
Tetrapolar story animation
2022
This was my first project for Itchy-O. The poster design was pre-existing, and the goal was to add animation to enhance engagement on Instagram Stories. I animated the three rings in After Effects, while the snake was created with frame-by-frame hand-drawn animation in Procreate.
Austin tour poster
2022
This was my first full poster design for Itchy-O. As the show was part of an out-of-state tour for a mostly new audience, the goal was to introduce both the performers and the band’s visual mythology. I created a series of digital collages featuring performer photos, with different groups highlighted in each version. The sci-fi-inspired border was developed using elements from the band’s existing brand imagery in order to feel on-brand when posted to social media.
