Jon Smith is back from under his rock to release two awesome new prints. They are both tributes to Rob Jones. The first is his print for Screens n Spokes. It’s an 18″ x 18″ screenprint with an edition of 50 (though he only has 25 to sell). The second is a new art print called “Protocol Zomboid”. It’s an 18″ x 24″ screenprint with an edition of 48. For a limited time, you can get BOTH prints for only $30. At that price, I can’t imagine these will be around long. Visit Jon’s Etsy Shop. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?li ... d=28792549

And bringing us up to the present we have my brand new Screen ‘N’ Spokes print 2009 which is in the style of a Rob Jones Raconteurs poster. Not that all of Rob’s posters for said band are in this style but most of them are, and in my opinion the best ones are.

This one from a design standpoint came out of left field. I was working up various concepts for a Decemberists poster I was working on a couple months ago, trying different things because they reject a small handful before approving anything, this bike was created in that vein. And it was collaged out of the same kind of source material that Rob does for the Raconteurs posters I’m referencing so I figured if the design is going that way I might as well just go all the way and make it a straight up Rob Jones homage and try and nail the style as close as possible.
At the same time I also had the Screens ‘N’ Spokes deadline coming up so it worked out. I didn’t want to just crap out a halftone image of a vintage bike over some floral pattern and cal it a day….not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Anyway, this print will be available soon.
