Never A Rip
Never a Rip was a performance by the Ann Arbor Guitar Trio of a piece composed by Josh Harlow.
From the band about Never A Rip: “Through poetry and improvised music, A2G3 and Harlow explore the forgotten history of the Ypsilanti Underwear Factory, a nationally known local business in operation around the turn of the 20th century. Specifically, they investigate an advertisement once on the factory’s exterior featuring an attractive woman wearing a union suit that caused quite a stir upon its release, as well as some of the strange and sinister goings on surrounding the factory during the early 1900’s.”
To support this project, I created images that were used to promote the event around town on posters, and on Facebook. Pictured below is an image found during through research and reading about the Ypsilanti Underwear Factory, and my adaptation of it for the concert poster.
