Olly Moss designed another hit poster for this weeks' Sonic Youth show in San Diego.  If you zoom you can see how each book is detailed down to the title and other little accents.

Gaieties of 1936

I'm sure that most of you havent seen a flyer this old before.  An old handbill from the 1930's for a play in Los Angeles, right in the Greek Theatre.  It's pretty bold and attention-demanding -- seeing how the masters of the day brought in people by making their messages loud and announced, while working with very simple drawing and printing processes.

Garret Karol

Garret Karol from Missouri tames the power of grain.
Gives a new print the feel of ruggedness and the tastefulness like that of an aged wine bottle--not to be confused with that of the frayed edges of an abercrombie xs polo.
