CLAUDE SHADE (1953 - 2015)

When Warren first mentioned that someone from Goodby Silverstein was designing our inaugural Strictly Bluegrass poster we were surprised. We expected something more organic. Then we saw some of Claude’s work and understood. It was original, he embodied something very unique and it could only be expressed through his eyes. Claude designed every poster for the festival from 2001-2015. It was a process. Deadlines were not something he particularly addressed. We co

Laughing Hysterically

This was taken shortly after Claude and I (Chris Ford) were detained by immigration

for a hour in separate rooms at the Toronto airport. We'd been advised to tell the immigration authorities we were there on vacation, not work. (Something about making things easier.) However only one of us remembered the plan. When the officers finally brought us together, I don't think they knew what to do with Claude. He was laughing hysterically and calling them all, "Buddy." If you're going to get stopped at the border of a foreign country, Claude was the guy you wanted to be stopped with.

Photo shoots with Claude Shade were some of the funniest creative times I've ever experienced, and looking through the albums brings those times rushing back. From drunken Jelly Donut nights on the SF streets with Tonya Glanz, to the infamous yacht ride with rapper Lady Sovereign and Zach Canfield, to my EP shoot, to my last shoot with Claude, Lauren and Ashley Flanagan for the upcoming Moondrunk album. I'd be torn up looking at these if they didn't make me smile so damn much. Thank you, buddy.

Claude Shade – Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Poster Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, or HSB for short, is an annual free music festival held the first weekend of October in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Strictly to plan, on this, the tenth year of the event, Claude Shade, senior art director and photographer at Goodby Silverstein, San Francisco exercised his magic, creating yet another in his series of highly coveted and collectable posters.

Goodby Silverstein Loses Piece of its Creative Soul With Passing of Claude Shade

"There are very few people, that if they were gone from the agency, I would say we lost something spiritual," said Mr. Goodby. "With Claude, we lost something spiritual, an artistic readiness. He was always ready to try things, always ready to go. [His way] was very experimental, very much like new music, like the early days of punk. Our company is a little bit more like everybody else today."

Claude Shade Photographed by Philippe Sunny Millet - I found this picture of Claude from 1996 at Saatchi & Saatchi Biz Comm Rochester NY. We had to do a photoshoot for Kodak Pro. and we went to NY to shoot the campaign. What a great experience for a young man. I was 20 years old back in the days. What a chance to be inside of the Cyclone, learning by doing with "my big brother" Claude. This picture was one of my first photo made with a Kodak Tri X 320 Asa in the Nahtalie Cot studio in NYC.
