We need you! Help support Gigposters.com!

Gigposters.com is an amazing website run by our dear friend Clay Hayes! This website has really been an amazing source of information, inspiration, laughs, and so much more for us for many years.

When we got into screen printing our own posters, gigposters.com was an endless source of everything we needed to know about screen printing and gigposters. We literally had one person at the studio with the press and the other on a laptop searching the archives of the gigposters.com forums trying to find answers to all of our questions, and trying to figure out how to fix what we messed up.

Even if you have no interest in screen printing and design, this website is a phenomenal archive of gigposters and fliers for events and shows from all over. There are close to 108,000 posters in the archive, featuring nearly 10,000 differernt bands and over 8,000 designers from all over the world.


Gigposters.com REALLY needs your help now!! We all need this website to stay around and we are asking for your help to keep this gem around!! Please give or do what you can!!

Flatstock follow-up and photos

The Hero booth at Flatstock 21 at Pitchfork Music Festival

Sorry for the late post, but things have been crazy since we've gotten back! We had a fabulous time in Chicago filled with a super rad road trip, great friends, huge root beers, great music, posters, vodka smoothies, expensive ok-ish bloody marys, zoo trips, and so much more. We always love to hang out with all of our amazingly talented friends from all over North America, live the carnie lifestyle for a few days and to meet a ton of people that geek out over design and printing the way we all do.

Thank you to everyone that came out, said 'hi', bought posters, bought us ice cream (I'm looking at you phoondaddy), Dan Crosshair and the API for putting together another successful Flatstock and an extra special thanks to Grizzly Bear and Blitzen Trapper for hiring us to do the exclusive posters for their shows at Pitchfork. We are of course fans of both bands so they were super fun gigs for us and it was a pleasure to hear both of them live again, too.

Here are just a few of the highlights from the trip - you can see all of our photos from the trip in our Flickr set.
