th' Cigaretz

Bob designed and printed dozens of flyers for th' Cigaretz, Raleigh's original punk sensation, in the late 1970s. He also did the silk screen for their one and only LP, "Crawl Right Outta My Skin." Each LP sleeve was completely unique because he changed the ink mixture between each pressing.

I met Bob back in 1980 in Raliegh NC. I was in college there and following local band like The Cigaretz and the Fabulous Knobs. I think it was Malcolm who introduced me at one of his radio shows on the college station. We spent many long nights printing after hours at the design school.I still have a few cherished copies of album covers and posters from the day. He was so alive with creative energy, and such a fun nice guy. I am sad to hear of his passing. The world will miss his light.
