Screens 'N' Spokes '09: Jon Smith

Jon Smith, Seattle, WA. 26, male, single, Scorpio. Looks like Seth Rogen in Observe and Report but with a beard. Making posters since...2005? Maybe 2004. Posters is all he does, he works part time at D&L Screenprinting and the rest of his time is designing posters that get printed at D&L Screenprinting. He fears he will die alone.

Let's not speculate too much on Jon's hopes and fears, however - what we do know is that his prints will live on in the archives of gigposters.com. His Screens 'N' Spokes print, a playful homage to a Rob Jones Raconteurs print, makes me wish I could ride bikes in the time of the Industrial Revolution. Check out Jon's inspiration, and a bit about his creative process, here at his blog.

Artist Contributions

In order to get the great list of artists for Screens 'N' Spokes, we had to contact a lot of people. Many artists were interested in contributing, but didn't have the time to create and print a unique piece for the show.

Some of these artists have kindly donated existing posters to be sold, or auctioned at our opening night events. I'm pleased to say we'll have some beautiful posters from :

Rob Jones
Jon Smith
Diana Sudyka
Dan McCarthy

I will post a complete inventory when I have received all the prints.
