Uncanny Illustration by Amrei Hofstätter

Amrei Hofstätter is a graphic designer and illustrator from Berlin, Germany who holds a passion for misbalance and imperfection.  He creates dolls and hybrids because he is fascinated with Frued's idea of the uncanny, and strives to create a strong reaction and a sense of irritation with the viewer.

Gaudy Poster Design by Dice Twice

Dice Twice is a graphic design crew based in Gdansk, Poland.  I gather that they specialize in club/event flyers, which is cool.  Their Aquasky poster is just so amazing with all of the repetitions and angles going on, and especially the way they did the letter A.  Looking through their work, I noticed that they like to use a thicker margin space to separate the content inside the canvas from the border, which leaves more empty space--and it really works in a different but interesting way.

And that is the bio of the Flickr account of J. Andersen aka Pretty Good Posters, who is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Stumbling upon his image set while Flickr surfing, I was drawn to his illustration style and thought that it deserved a second look from you guys.  


There was a game for the Sega Genesis that I use to play when I was younger called Toejam and Earl with bizarre and funky alien characters--some of these posters reminded me of that.

New psychadelic art and gig poster designs by Michael Michael Motorcycle

Michael Michael Motorcycle designs probably some of the trippiest screenprints and gig posters, at least around the Los Angeles area.  Equal parts dark, twisted fairy tales and narcotics-inspired color pallets from a lucid dream, Michael has to be one of my favorite artists in this style.  He's worked with a bunch of historic venues and big events in Los Angeles and New York, as well as making gig posters for artists like Sonic Youth, The Mars Volta, Tool and New Found Glory.

My favorite print of the lot, what is this guy supposed to be?  An olde English clown, or one of those fat gentlemen from olden days who strut around with a cane?
Limited edition poster for Built to Spill available here.

Limited edition 7-color screenprint available here.

Limited edition Widespread Panic poster available here.

I haven't listened to Tool since middle school, but this poster is pretty rad.
