Named after the Add Star feature in Google Reader, “Starred” is a column about things that catch my eye as I peruse the blogs I subscribe to. If you’d like to subscribe to Perfect Laughter, here’s a link to our RSS Feed.

Posters by Jon Smith

Today I realized that I had something literally right in front of my face that I keep forgetting to talk about. I have this poster by Jon Smith hanging in my cube:

(Take note of lovely, depressing cube lighting.) Dennis and I each got one of these when were at Austin City Limits in 2006. We went to see the Long Winters play at the Mohawk’s opening weekend. They painted a huge Mohawk sign during the show. I have time lapse pictures of it, somewhere…

As you can imagine, Google wasn’t too helpful with a name like Jon Smith, and I couldn’t find anything else of his for quite a while. But recently, Jon starting blogging and making posters again. Here are a few of my favorites:

The Black Keys poster is by 1982, which is a joint effort between Jon and Nate Duval. All of the above are for sale in Jon’s Etsy Shop. The 1982 Big Cartel shop also has some neat things, including a few rare test prints.

Our favorite band, The Decemberists, have been touring all summer. We’ve been lucky enough to see them twice on this tour, once here in Detroit and once in Columbus. A ton of really great posters have come out in the last few months to support the band’s shows.

Does one this remind anyone else of the Legend of Zelda?
Remember, you’d touch the gravestones/ghosties to find a secret door?

Concert Posters from Nate Duval

Both Dennis and I have long been fans of Nate Duval’s concert posters. He does a lot for The Decemberists, which is probably how we discovered him. His style is typically pretty clean lined with a lot of patterns and architectural elements. But lately, he’s been doing more that are very intricate and nature-based.

This Andrew Bird poster is still for sale at Gigposters.com.
