Jason Munn

I'd like to introduce you all to possibly one of the coolest graphic / poster artists around at the moment... Jason Munn.

Munn, whom is based in California is most famous for designing his one of a kind silk screen printed indie rock posters.

Munn's designs have a simple aesthetic that echo the work of the greats; Saul Bass, Charley Harper and Jeff Kleinsmith. 

His work has a distinct retro-esque style that is utterly simple yet stunning. His use of bold simple geometric shapes, and simple seventies colour palettes are so strong and striking, I can't see how anyone could help but like his work!

You'll notice that Munn's work often has recurring images such as feathers, guitars, birds, records etc.. that are all manipulated in one way or another to produce some form of meaning to represent the band. Munn claims this is his way of creating continuity in his art work, and hey it seems to be working wonders!

Munn currently designs under the pseudonym : 
"The Small Stakes" 
- also the name of his design studio in Oakland, California. Rumour has it he is gearing up to collaborate with fellow graphic artist, Dirk Fowler. 

So do you want the good news now? 

Head on over to www.jasonmunn.com where you can purchase your very own original, silk screen printed poster for US$30 + P&H.

And i'll finish on that note with my favourite of the bunch, this awesome Surfer Blood poster.
