Graphic Designs and Posters by Ed Nacional (NY)

I saw Ed Nacional's Black River Festival poster a long while ago on a blog or ffffound and knew that we had to do a post on this guy.  Checking out Ed's very clean and newly designed site, there's a ton of awesome and clever work created by this very talented Brooklyn resident.  His Twitter and Flickr are also packed with interesting stuff.

35 Czechoslovak Matchbox Labels of Prehistoric Animals

Thought these would make a good post after going through Oliver Tomas's amazing archive of classic graphics.  Really liking the heavy shadings and consistent colorways throughout the set.  It just seems like a super cool idea for matchbox labels, and even though I'm not a smoker, if these were sitting out on the table for free at a diner I would grab some and start smoking like its 322 million years ago.
