artist: SIT
project: collaboration with Pearl Jam on Lightning Bolt Tour
 

Late 2013 we were approached by US rock band Pearl Jam and their team to work with SIT on designing a tour poster for an upcoming show of the band in Phoenix, AZ.
Sit designed 2 color versions of his iconic crow imagery to be made into screen prints. A limited edition run of this print was very successful and sold out within 10 minutes of going online.

A few months later, when the band came to visit Amsterdam in June 2014, SIT was again asked to contribute a design for this first stop on Pearl Jam's European leg of their tour.
Aditionally, he collaborated with Onesize Studio to create an animation video based on his original paintings for the massive vidiwall on the outside of the venue's walls.

On Monday June 16 and Tuesday June 17 Pearl Jam started the European leg of the Lightning Bolt tour in Amsterdam and play two sold out shows at the Ziggo Dome. Specifically for this occasion SIT was asked to create a video to be shown on the venue’s 9200m2 LED video exterior. Inspired by the song ‘Lighting Bolt’ he teamed up with Onesize in Amsterdam and created an animated video with Greyhounds chasing each other in a race, chasing after things they cannot understand. Where every step in the video’s motion consists of an individual painting. A total of 19 paintings used in this video are for sale as part of a limited edition original artwork.
