Vintage Houdini Posters
















Caught this excellent post by the good folks over at Beautiful Decay that featured some rather unusual pieces that you don't see everyday.  They posted some really nice old school posters based on houdinis from the late 1800s in line with a current gallery exhibition going on over at the Skirball Cultural Center (which I should probably go to).  Some of them are odd, yes, but I am really liking the different ways the word "houdini" is created in these with outlines, serifs, curves, italics, and kerning.

Vahalla Studios - John Mayer tour posters for winter 2010

Not a big fan of John Mayer, but a huge fan of good tour posters that make use of eccentric patterns, sweet color schemes, obtrusive serifs, and that stone-like abrasion texture.

Missouri based Vahalla Studios came up with posters for John Mayer's Winter 2010 tour, which are up for purchase here.

Special props out to Tad Carpenter and Dan Padavic.
