Now That Was Paper

We just got back from a great weekend in Raleigh NC for the opening of our Now That's Paper exhibit at Amplified Art. HUGE thanks to Ryan for the fantastic hosting duties at the gallery. This guy runs a seriously tight ship. Also, big shouts go out to Jonny Yu for the sweet tunes during our opening and to Diana for holdin' down fort behind the scenes!

This show was not only a showcase of our screenprinted work, but a huge number of our original sketches, scribbles, paintings, and analog experimentations which all went into the creation of some of our favorite posters. We also installed a massive print mural in the gallery's entryway, turning Amplified's lobby into a huge boombox! It's not every day we have an opportunity to display such a comprehensive collection of our work like this, so if you're in the Raleigh area, please stop by and check out the show before May 11th! Here are a few photos of the show...

One of those posters was Wes Winship's design for anticon's War On Self tour featuring rappers Sole and Pedestrian. Read More

Behind the scenes: Passage Through Purgatory

We get a lot of folks asking us about our screenprinting process, especially for the more involved prints such as the brand new Passage Through Purgatory. We'd like to reveal a bit of the magic that goes on here at Burlesque and show you some photos taken during the process of making Baizley's artwork into an 11-color screenprint.
