I woke up this morning and vowed to spend my day solely doing homework. Quickly checked my e-mail, Twitter, and did a small scan of my feed reader while I ate breakfast. Most amazing find? The Small Stakes, a small company that designs music posters, is coming out with a book! I’ve seen a few of their posters floating around online before and loved them to pieces, so of course, the book has instantly gone on my wishlist without a second thought. After all, it’s a most glorious sounding book. Filled with 150 posters. 192 pages. Full colour. Under 25$. The perfect gift for any music and/or art lover. Myself included. Too bad my birthday isn’t until December otherwise I’d be hinting very, very strongly at my friends and family. (Or perhaps that’s a good thing. ;)
I ended up spending a good half hour scouring The Small Stakes website lusting over their posters. Unfortunately, the majority of the posters for bands I love are sold out, but then again, that’s the beauty of their book – they’ll likely all be inside. Anyhow, here’s a collection of a few of my favourites which I tried desperately to keep under twenty… we shall see how that goes.
The first two – Joanna Newsom and She & Him – are my two favourites. I’m not a huge fan of the band-posters-for-decor approach, but I would consider putting both of those in my space as they are just beautiful. Really, all of these posters are. They’re works of art on their own. I love the simple, graphic shapes and reduced colour palettes. They’re very crisp and elegant.

There are tonnes and tonnes, so I’m sure you’ll find many others on the site that you know. :D
