Exceptional and colorful poster work has been created by the prolific Brazilian designer Kiko Farkas. I found his work through a user submitted comment. Thank you for that.

About Boxbird:
Boxbird was set up in February 2008 by print enthusiast Alice Teague and illustrator Graham Carter. Run from our own printing studio in Brighton Boxbird has fast become one of the premiere online galleries for exciting new talent, showcasing some of the UK’s finest illustrators, printmakers and fine artists including Fiona Hewitt, Zara Wood, Sally Elford, Ben Newman and many more.

I really like what these folks are doing and appreciate the model the have established. I have been thinking about doing something similar out of my studio here in Denver.

My friend Anthony A.K.A. Snowblinded is currently looking for new opportunities and freelance here in Denver. He is a really talented jack-of-all-trades and has worked every corner of the creative industry at some point. If you are looking for guaranteed talent, you don’t have to look much further.

He also has a new skate deck for sale as well as his cache of excellent prints.

I stumbled across screenprinting pop-culture artist Matt Dye today and had to immediately and impulsively buy one of his prints (the one with Obama and the 357 Magnum). Awesome. It’s rare that I buy art, as much as I try to do to support it, simply because I have very little money but I just had to have that poster. Some of his test prints are really really cool as well. I love the Warhol prints and the Bowie prints. The color work and layering are beautiful. Some might argue that this work isn’t all together original but I think it is meant to be a tongue and cheek jab at pop art. It is a really attractive jab though, enough that it validates itself as its own little fascimile of pop art sarcasm.

Manchester-based designer Paul Tebbot has some really simple, clean and a bit 70’s inspired poster work happening in his Flickr-folio at Horizon Fire. The combination of which is very easy on the eyes.

Atelier Müesli has a very large and eclectic body of work. There are some real gems in their portfolio and they aren’t afraid to experiment.

“Air Lines is an art project showing worldwide airliner routes. Every single scheduled flight on any given day is reresented by a fine line from it’s point of origin to it’s port of destination. Thereby forming a net of thousands of lines. Hubs like JFK, FRA or DXB turn into dark knots where lines meet, lesser served local services are only are a subtle hint.”

You can purchase really large prints for only 38 bucks. Consider them a token of the downfall of the human empire. Hello global warming. Goodbye inhabital land mass.

“Letterpress Printing a Poster with Mike Burton. Shot and edited by Joshua Gerken. Music by The Celebrity Pilots. Commissioned by Joseph Hughes and the KSU Campaign for Change.”

Really nice little ‘how it’s done’ video here. I would love to print my own letterpress poster. I might look into where I could do it around Denver here.

Also be sure to drop by the really nice portfolio of Mikey Burton as well.

I am digging this posters series entitled, ‘Cuben’ in the Flickr-folio of graphic designer Simon Page.

Binth has some really nice prints including a larger-scale and smaller-scale series of one-of-a-kind prints that would make a great addition to anyone’s wall. Nothing like affordable art.

Artcrank went amazingly well this weekend in Denver. There was a massive turnout and the posters sold like crazy. They were priced very reasonably, I think the most expensive being $30 and the least $10. You can see some photos from the event here and the Minneapolis event here. I think I came close to selling out my poster (pictured below in red, white and blue).

You can still visit and buy posters from the Denver show until May 2nd. Don’t miss your chance if you really want one because a lot of them are almost gone.

You can see some images of the posters created from the Minneapolis event here and the Denver posters should be uploaded sometime in the next couple of weeks. As soon as they are I will let you know. The image above my poster is the poster that was created by the almighty poster Gods, Aesthetic Apparatus for the Minneapolis show.

I am considering reprinting my poster in a different color to sell through my store but haven’t made up my mind yet. So until then, stop by Artcrank here in Denver if you really want one. Word is the show will be traveling to a new location featuring local artists again from that specific location.

Stay tuned for more.

This ‘Words to Work By’ poster set created by agency Publicis Mojo is simply brilliant. It’s the holy trinity of good concept, good design and strong typography merging in a triple kick-punch-leg-sweep.

You can read all about it at Creative Review.

Not sure if the piece above is new or not (but I really liked it), regardless Sawdust has updated with some really nice work.

ARTCRANK is a new art exhibition hitting the Denver scene that will be showcasing bicycle-inspired original poster artwork that you can enjoy looking at and actually afford to take home. The show rolls out in Minneapolis this Saturday, April 4, and in Denver next Saturday, April 11.

A good friend of mine here in Denver is helping host the show at 8pm this next Saturday. You can see my poster above (the red, white and blue one). I screenprinted them here in Denver. I did a little overprinting and was pretty pleased with how it came out. It is one of those posters that reads different up close and at a distance. I suggest standing back about 10 feet. I printed 39 (kept one for myself) and the rest will be available signed and numbered at the exhibition for $30. I did a really large print (18×24 inches) so it will take up a nice chunk of wallspace. I decided to go old school on this one and toss out my sometimes heavy digital style. I am the worst Colorado resident ever gracing the mountains only a few times a year so when I ride my bike, it is usually almost always in the city. But that is kind of the way I like it (haven’t ridden hardly at all this year though).

My good friend and occasional CTT blogger, Aaron Ray of Legwork Studio also did two really nice prints that you can see above as well. Great work Aaron.

If you would like to come out and have a beer with us next Saturday we would love to see you and meet you at the show. Below are the details. Plan on a party. Oh and ride your bike. I will do another post next week to remind those of you who might forget.
