Boredoms: Empty Bottle 2005
Artist: Wes Winship, Seripop

You won't get bored looking at this sucker, that's for sure. HAHAHAHA! A partial collaboration with Montreal's Serigraphie Populaire, who provided the awesome central image used on our poster as well as their's. It's for the Empty Bottle in Chicago, and it's a four-color Wes Winship extravaganza of layered colors, hand lettering, halftones... you get the idea. It's crazy... crazy hot!
