The Little Friends of Printmaking
Little Friends of Printmaking, the husband-and-wife silkscreening team based in Milwaukee, have been making poster art since 2003. Their name should ring bells for you, as their work is well known, well loved, and has been published in several recent, well distributed books. Their name certainly rang bells for me, so when I saw that a reader had suggested we check them out, my first reaction was, “Silly, we already did!” However, after sifting through the site, I found that, yes, Little Friends of Printmaking had been mentioned, but deep within other posts, and never in a post of their own. In other words, it’s about time for us to formally introduce you to the slightly irreverent, considerably talented pair, and we can’t think of a much better way to do so than to A) Tell you that they’re awesome; and B) Point you to the Winter Cavalcade of Awesome, a poster sale currently happening at Little Friends of Printmaking’s online store. If you’re the sort of customer who is concerned about the paper stock on which said posters are printed, you’ll have to send them an email (because I don’t know the answer), but if you are solely concerned about the visual success of said posters, I think you’ll be one happy camper.
