I was in Las Vegas over the weekend and didn't miss the chance to visit the Pinball Hall of Fame. Here are a few photos (please excuse the poor quality - all I had on me was my cell phone) of their enormous collection of games in excellent condition.

While digging through our archives in preparation for our upcoming Now That's Paper art show at Amplified Art in Raleigh NC, we came across several older Burlesque posters which we felt deserved some shine and got packed up to head down South. One of those posters was Wes Winship's design for anticon's War On Self tour featuring rappers Sole and Pedestrian. It's a CMYK cyclone showing all of the conflicting thoughts in man's head - technology, music, death, Jesus, the devil, drugs, America... you know... the war on self. This style of design would definitely play a huge role in inspiring future posters of Wes' like his Arcade Fire Toronto poster. Look at that lineage. Anways, here it is! Have a look, come see it live in person next weekend in Raleigh, and/or grab a copy from our online store!

We get a lot of folks asking us about our screenprinting process, especially for the more involved prints such as the brand new Passage Through Purgatory. We'd like to reveal a bit of the magic that goes on here at Burlesque and show you some photos taken during the process of making Baizley's artwork into an 11-color screenprint. It all starts with John sending us a high-resolution, flattened image of his artwork, in this case a watercolor painting. From there, Wes Winship will crack it open in Photoshop and begin peeling it apart, deciding which colors can best be used and combined to create a print which is as true to the original image as possible. Through a mix of opaque, transparent, and translucent colors, the image begins to take form on the computer. It's an arduous task, but Wes ultimately prevails. At this point, we are looking at a...
