My Little Underground | Command Posters

I am loving these simple and witty posters by My Little Underground. At $12 for the set of 3 5x7 prints it’s a pretty good deal to get framed and hang on that small piece of wall real estate or to include in artwork wall collage that seems to be all the rage these days. Either way, check them out.

Drive Less, Walk More

Here is a sneak peak of my design for our poster series which is now including a design by Bran Dougherty-Johnson. There is more in the mix too for this project. We are working on setting things up and Bran’s design is on the way soon. I am really excited about this project and can’t wait to get these posters in circulation within the community to promote a greener way of life.

New Frankenstyles

My good buddy Stephen Kelleher, and ”Drive Less/Walk More” partner, just updated his site. He is featuring the first print from our series of posters to promote alternate ways of transportation. Part of the proceeds from each sale are going to charity to help preserve our planet and keep it green and mean. Look for my design as well as a collaboratively designed poster in the near future. We will have it all organized and set up soon. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, go feast your eyes on Stephen’s wacky world of art and graphics.

Dan Stiles | Rock Concert Posters

I just stumbled upon Dan Stiles’ site where he has a plethora of posters to buy. All around $25 - $30, they each have a unique style to them. Some cheery and cute, some more psychedelic, and some bold and graphic. Most are available although some of my favorites are sold out (ie. the Feist poster). I think I am sold on the fun Hot Chip design and am going to buy it and get it framed. He just so happens to be from Portland too which gives him MAJOR points for since I am pretty much obsessed with the town. Check out the posters and his design work when you get a chance.

Good Shape Design

Good Shape Design is the store of Wayne Pate, out of Brooklyn, NYC. Wayne has a nicely curated mix of prints, t-shirts, and art. Drop in and see what he has. I particularly love some of the prints. We still have quite a few blank walls in the house that I need to fill with art. I mean I could make it myself but I’d rather be inspired by other great artists.

Hot Chip Poster | Blanka

I stumbled upon a super limited edition of a nice poster of the artwork that was used on Hot Chip’s latest album (which happens to be amazing) on the UK based Blanka site. The run is limited to only 75 printed grey on 3M celloglas bronze foil paper. It’s priced at £50 so if you are in the US it would cost you about $100. Not too shabby considering the limited quantity for a work of art. If they still have some in stock I may have to drop the coin.

Still Room Studio

Still Room Studio is the online portfolio of illustrator/artist Jen Renninger. What initially caught my eye was her studies on mid-century furniture a-la Eames. I am a big fan of mid-century furniture, like most artsy fartsy types, and really dig her style in which she did these tributes in. Her other work is really nice too. It’s warm and cozy like a vintage ad from the 50s. You can buy prints of her work at her Etsy store. I may get the Eames lounge chair print.

Posters | Little Friends of Printmaking

The Little Friends of Printmaking do some really fun and colorful work. Their posters are, as you guessed it, pretty cheap too. Go grab them now because they sell out quick. Here’s a little background info on them too for those who aren’t familiar with them courtesy of youworkforthem. Enjoy!

Posters | Burlesque

Burlesque Design has done some pretty dope and trippy posters. Most are for show promotions and all of them have a 60s/70s psychedelic vibe that I am all about. Most are at a triptastic $20 to $25 price range and are all screen printed on good paper. I bought a dope-ass Dr. Dre the Chronic poster that they unfortunately don’t have anymore. What is even more unfortunate is that my wife Ashley won’t let me hang a poster of Dr. Dre now that we’re married. Bummer! If anyone wants it I may part with it for a trade. It’s never been hung before and is super dope. Let me know if you’re interested.

Posters | The Beast is Back

Chris Lee is a pretty talented dude I met while freelancing at Buck. He does some really fun illustration work with a retro vibe to it. I spent a good 20 minutes or so trying to figure out which movies all of the characters from this poster came from. It’s for sale for only $15 at Gallery 1988. What a steal of a deal.

Posters | Aesthetic Apparatus

So a friend asked me recently, “do you know of any cool online poster places?” After spending some time going through my del.iciou.us bookmarked sites I came up with a few. Over the next few days/posts I will put some cool places to buy inexpensive art/design. Most of them, well I should say all of them, will probably cost you more to frame than to buy. These aren’t originals, mostly digital prints but they still look amazing and any wall would be happy to have it. So I bring you my old faithful, Aesthetic Apparatus who make amazing show posters for great live shows. They cover the gamut in styles and genres and are all screen printed. They are all around $20 or so which makes it even better. If you like one though, act fast because they sell out quickly. I made the mistake of waiting to buy the Roots poster they did and I still regret it to this day. Anywho, enjoy.
