Awesome Posters and Flyers from the OBEY Giant Archives

Spent a few hours digging through the heavy and rich archives of the OBEY website, so here's some cool gig posters, show flyers, album sleeves and prints by Shephard Fairey and OBEY that I've never seen before.

Tavis Coburn - retro poster designs for biking, skating and much more

These illustrations by Tavis Coburn have to be among the best printed art on cycling.  Even with the fixed gear and biking scene blowing up with its inspired art, Tavis' style and incorporation of some Russian graphic design elements really make these works stand out.

The Pretty Much Everything Poster: A poster with almost anything and everything by Draplin Design

 Here's a pretty cool poster by Draplin Design Co., featuring all of the work he's done since 1993 - which is both impressive and overwhelming.  Definitely more design studios and artists should have something like this available.  If you like it, head over to their website and pick one up for $25.

Here's how the poster is described:

"Works Great For:

01. “Oranging Up A Wall” in your home, apartment or jail cell.
02. Nourishment/kindling in survival situations.
03. Lining dachshund puppy crates.
04. Logo inspiration, that is, if you like thick-ass lines and the letters, “D,” “D” and “C.”
05. Type inspiration, that is, if you like Futura and Trade Gothic.
06. Sprucing up a stodgy design shop. You know who you are!
07. Keeping the DDC alive…in heart, home, office and vessel!"

Super Detailed Film Festival Posters by Halvor Bodin

NOTE:  to fully see the detail Halvor designs into his posters, you MUST click on the thumbnails to see the full sized images, or scroll to the bottom.

Ever see posters cut into steel sheets?  Now thats a rugged poster.  

Steel-cut typographic goodness.

Love how the lined effect on the lettering looks in metal.

 

You must click to zoom in order to truly appreciate the level of detail Oslo's Halvor Bodin invests into his intricate poster designs.  Some drawn by hand, some painstakingly vectored, and yet other designs carved into sheets of steel.  But the end result is more or less the style of this unique designer from Norway.
