Bootstrap Posters

I'm kind a big fan of good artwork in music. The better bands of the last few years like Pavement, White Stripes, Blues Explosion, Flaming Lips, Royal Trux all have great artwork. Unfortunately its hard to name many UK Bands that bother, used to love the Senseless Things covers by Jamie Hewlett but the list kinda ends there and I don't know why.

Anyway, someone else can work that out, we've made a little gallery of the stuff we've done and been done for us for posters and its up on the website right about here. Wanted to do it like a rolf harris gallery bit with the music going from picture to picture and a commentary going "and now for a picture from Rachel age 6 of an elephant, I like the ways shes done the trunk...." But hell, I aint got time for that.

The best poster artist around at the moment (except Kerry of course) is Jay Ryan and all the stuff he does in the US. He's got a book out called '100 Posters, 134 Squirrels' which is very cool. His site is over here, part of the Bird Machine lot. He does this kinda thang:
