Score: Small Stakes
I was able to meet my hero today. Well, at least a screenprint hero. Jason Munn is The Small Stakes. He’s a great Graphic Designer and Screenprinter, and he’s also an Oakalander. He was showing his posters at Design Within Reach in Berkeley. Kristin and I went down there and I was able to look at his work, chat a little with Jason, and I even showed him some of my prints.
It’s great to actually see the work in person. I really appreciate the way his designs are really simple, yet really complex and humorous in design and content. He does really to create posters for a lot independent bands who have unique sounds and followings. He was also really friendly and we may possibly swap prints sometime.
( more after the jump…)
In other great news, I went to the Depot today with Kimmy. The Depot is awesome. I think I pump 80% of my spending money into that store. You can find all sorts of crazy stuff there, and a lot of times I’ll score on some really great are supplies for cheap.
Here’s the damage:
We had a set of these info cards when I grew up. It’s old-school wikipedia.
Take off!
Landing.
Origami folds. I liked these, but what do you do with them? No buy!
All the Star Trek VHS you could want. Check out: “Dagger of the Mind”. Intense.
And finally, my score: transparent graph paper ( for drawings ), a two hole punch ( which i’ll use for registering my screenprints ), and a couple of woodblocks to help me print on wood panels! Awesome.
