psychedelic retro vintage rock posters

July 8, 2009 in design, music

i will always love retro psychedelic rock and movie posters.

but Tadanori Yokoo took it to a whole nutha level:

Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert poster, 1972

Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert poster, 1972

Movie poster: "The Trip" with Peter Fonda

Movie poster: "The Trip" with Peter Fonda, 1968

i mean, how crazy are these?  i love the how the registration is deliberately off, like in those turn-of-the-century offset screen prints or the WPA propaganda posters from the 30′s and 40′s.

"The Trip"

"The Trip", 1968

[and is it just me or does the woman in this poster totally look like Marie-Louise Parker?]

"Cochin Moon", 1978

"Cochin Moon", 1978

pretty sure they were done without Adobe Illustrator.  this gives me hope.

hearts on fire

July 5, 2009 in fashion

here’s a Levi’s denim jacket i never wear.  so i decided to sew on a human heart — not a real one, silly! — made from leather, satin and velvet.  turns out i still won’t wear it, maybe i could sell it?   i’d like to add some beading, nudie suit-style.

another reason i should get my etsy store up and running…
