Must Stay Awake: Vol. 3!

msa_vol3

The first two volumes of our very first print have sold out.
Due to demand, we have decided to print a third volume. The first two volumes featured the type over laid on top to mimic some of the posters seen in urban settings. This time we chose to design and print it closer to a two color super hero poster from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The “running man” is featured on top of the type and this poster uses two of our most popular custom colors: “Oscar The Slouch” and “Eat Your Greens”.
Limited to 15 / signed and numbered.

Over the last few years or so there has been a resurgence of designers looking to the past for inspiration and originality. Now this might seem to be counterproductive, and in some cases that is true, but it can often lead to some really visually interesting work. To me the difference between “vintage” and “retro” is simple: vintage is the original design created with the tools available at the time while retro is a design that tries to mimic the look and feel of the original but is reliant on current tools and technology. read more

AMP Gets a Guest Star!

Recently we had a visitor at Amerikan Made Prints, our good friend and bad ass designer from the Great White North: Jeope.  I had the pleasure of meeting Jeope a few years back at a design convention and we have stayed in touch since then via the interwebs. When I found out that he would be in the States visiting our mutual friend Mel, I extended the invitation to stop by the studio and lay down some ink.  He accepted and we spent an evening catching up, drinking some Strongbow and rocking out a second volume to the Shutupsicle print.
