Really clever little letterpress print. I grabbed one. It comes in serif and sans-serif flavors. Get yours here. [ via OMG Posters]
Gallery 1988 is showcasing these ridiculous prints at a show highlighting great moments in sports. This is a wonderful confluence of my love of sports with my love of screenprinted posters. I’ve cropped out a couple of samples below but you should really click through to see these in full-size and the rest of the [...]
It’s everything you could ask for in a Valentine-themed screenprint of an octopus on an harpoon. Mine was delivered last night and it’s very nice in person. PXJ does nice work. You can get one here.
I’m an old fan of David Mazzucchelli from back when he used to draw Daredevil. He stopped drawing comics a long time ago but came back this year with Asterios Polyp (amazon link), a fully-formed graphic novel and one of the best books I’ve read in years. It takes a little work to follow, but [...]
I didn’t read Bill Sienkiewicz’s Stray Toasters back when it was new (1988!) but I grabbed a copy of the recent re-issue of the collection. I’m a longtime fan of Sienkiewicz’s painting and there are enough full-page paintings in here to make the purchase worthwhile for me. The story (serial killer, electronic weirdness, the grip [...]

Pal of SaM Luke Worley has these for sale in his new Store. I think we all benefit when there is more octopus-with-nunchaku in our lives.
$50, on sale here. In celebration of LOST’s final season and as a project of fan appreciation, 16 top designers and artists, who are also fans of the show, were commissioned to create artwork celebrating one of the series’ most memorable, and unforgettable, “water cooler” moments. This ultimate “fan art” was then turned into labor [...]
I am always impressed by Dan McAdams‘ ability to turn his photographs into screenprints. I have a couple and the level of detail he is able to achieve in just 4 or 6 colors is kind of nuts. Add in the fact that I am a nerd for “modern ruins” and his work is right [...]
Poster Cabaret has a new series of bicycle-related screenprints. These are nice. $30 apiece or $100 for the set of 5. I’ve been on a bit of a poster binge lately so I can’t pull the trigger right now. On the off chance these are around for a couple of weeks I will definitely revisit. [...]
