2 1980-era newspaper advertisements designed by Robert Miller for Louis & Gilbert's pre-mixed cocktail concoctions. These scream 1880 just as much as they do 1980.

This Thursday at 2:00pm Central, we'll be releasing the latest print from Aaron Draplin, a dedication to all of the visual inspiration from the great American city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Aaron assembled all of his favorite logos, musicians, landmarks, icons, and nuggets from Philadelphia's rich history and fit them all together into this gorgeous poster.
Originally released at Aaron's September 28th lecture (sermon?) at Philly's First Unitarian Church, you will soon be able to score a copy of this sweet poster right here! We screenprinted this badboy in four colors including bright metallic gold ink which shines brighter than the liberty bell, brighter than Rocky's championship belt, brighter than the cheez whiz on your Pat's and/or Geno's cheesesteak.
Signed and numbered edition of 300 prints.
4 color print on mixed French Speckletone paper
18 x 24""
See you Thursday at 2!

This is so cool... Friend-of-Burlesque Katie Kirk wrote and illustrated a gorgeous children's book about her unconditional love for Eli, her Chocolate Labrador. A few years ago, some prototypes were produced, but now the book has been officially published by Abrams Books and can be purchased by anyone just about anywhere! We've been a fan of Katie's work for quite some time. She and her husband Nathan run the fantastic Eight Hour Day design studio here in Minneapolis. Together they've been featured in Communication Arts and HOW magazines and you may have seen some of the great work they've created for Target, The New York Times, Wired, or the Minnesota Orchestra.
Want to pick up a copy of the book and meet the author? Maybe even meet Eli? Head over to the Red Balloon Bookstore in Saint Paul this Saturday for the official ""Eli, no!"" Launch party!

Our friend Tom ""Haze XXL"" Hazelmyer approached us about putting on an art show at CO Exhibitions. When Haze puts on an art show, he doesn't just hang up a few drawings and call it a day... he creates a full-on assault of the senses. The walls of CO were covered with one-of-a-kind collaged and printed vinyl jackets for The Melvins, Grant Hart, and Seawhores, prints by Mackie Osbourne, as well as paintings and original poster mechanicals by Japanese pop artist Junko Mizuno, who flew in from her new home in San Francisco to attend the opening. On stage, a live video feed of Gay Witch Abortion and Seawhores was being projected onto a screen as the groups noise-rocked the night away down below in our screenprinting studio. Haze's poster for the show started its life as a linoleum block. He cuts and chisels these down by hand, inks the...
