Beltane 2021 : Letterpress
Cernunnos is a Celtic version of the horned god, an embodiment of fertility, animals, and the underworld. Sometimes referred to as the Lord of the Wild Things.
I created my version of the Cernunnos in India Ink on board to celebrate Beltane 2021.

Beltane 2021 : Letterpress

Shipping
Posters are shipped in a sturdy tube via USPS Priority mail.
I usually do mailorder fulfillment on Fridays but it can vary.
I've been offering posters via mailorder for over 15 years and pride myself on honesty and integrity. That said, the mail service is sometimes responsible for damage and/or loss.
In these very occasional cases I always replace your poster or refund the money. Thanks for your support! David

All posters are screen printed on a semi-automatic press. This is an analogue printing technique in which one color at a time is printed with mesh screens.
The majority of my posters are printed at Broken Press (Seattle) or Monolith Press (Alameda CA).
-
Yes. All of my posters are made in collaboration directly (or via management) with the band. In most cases bands have heavy input regarding the artwork.
-
No. Band posters are printed one time in a signed and numbered edition. In a few cases I have created a second edition for different show dates or tours. If this happens I usually also change the colorway and/or paper.
When an edition is “sold out”, it is literally sold out. In an age of “print on demand” services I feel I need to clarify this fact.
