GIVEAWAY: Suggest A Poster And Win a Print!

I moved into a new cube at work about a month ago, and I finally got some free time to spruce it up a bit.

From left: Stumptown Printers bike poster, Rar Rar Press postcard, one of our engagement photos shot by Studio 6.23, postcard by Keegan Meegan, Nada Surf poster by The Small Stakes, Spoon poster by Hammerpress, Death Cab poster by The Small Stakes, and Child Bite / Zoos of Berlin / Silent Years poster by Pinky Blaster (I’m assuming).

Here’s the problem, and not that it’s a bad problem to have, but the wall I sit next to looks like this:

Doesn’t it look sad and empty? I want to fill it up! So I’m asking you, our fabulous blog readers: what are some of your favorite poster artists? By commenting on this post with a suggestion, you can win our newest print.

Comments will be closed at midnight on July 20, and we’ll announce the winner the next morning. The print is 12.5 x 12.5 so it fits easily in a record album frame, and it’s screenprinted on French Paper’s Dur-o-tone in Steel Grey. The words are from the city of Detroit’s motto. Good luck! And thanks for your help!

I picked one of these up, and it’s very cool. Metallic inks, typewriter keys and Patti Smith.

I too love Jessica Hische, House Industries Eames collaboration AND the Wheatfield.

But, lately I’ve been eyeing the fantastic LOST work from Ty Mattson:

Maybe you can hang a cool bulletin board so it’s easy to switch things up and keep it fresh?

I’m thinking you need a little hometown love with something from the Silent Giants and then a little bit of Nate Duval magic.

I remember seeing your Detroit Motto poster at the Baar Bazaar and I wanted to purchase it so badly, but I had to refrain from spending any money that night.

But in attempts to getting that print in my possession I shall help you.

Sycamore Street Press has letterpress cards, calendars, and prints
http://www.etsy.com/shop/sycamorestreetpress

Made by Julene has (only 3) beautifully hand cut and laser cut posters
http://www.etsy.com/shop/julene

The Wheatfield has a variety of bright & beautiful prints. I think the original pieces were water colour paintings.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/thewheatfield

Those are a few of my favourites that are worth checking out.

Good luck finding the right piece for your cube.

OUR LATEST GIGPOSTER

We got to design and print a poster for Darling Imperial's farewell show at the Berkley Front. They let us do whatever we wanted, so we went with vintage lettering and a weathered, faded feel.
