About Me: I'm a born and raised New Yorker who loves all things crafty and artsy, food (cheese and dessert!), magazines, and shoes. I'm a power shopper always on the lookout for good deals or great quality-- sometimes I'm lucky and I find both! I love to dance and "shake what my momma gave me" but can also really enjoy a quiet night in with Mr. Canary and a good episode of Seinfeld or curl up with a good book.

A couple months ago, I discovered the small stakes, a design studio in California that creates great band posters and other paper products. Most of their portfolio is music related, but it doesn’t take away from the fantastic graphic elements in all their work. I realized that I’ve seen some of their work before at a small show at the Experience Music Project in Seattle devoted to show posters.
I love all of them! Unfortunately most of them are sold out. This would be a great upgrade from Mr. C and my college dorm room posters of our favorite bands. 
They’re also great inspiration for invitation icons and layouts. All of them are done by silkscreen. Here are some of my favorites.
One of my favorite bands of all time. I love these cute french girls!

oh neat! FI actually has that last one hanging in his bedroom.
Love the Death Cab posters….these are so creative.
strangely enough i saw these for the first time a few months ago too… i think it was a wedding blog. great inspiration!
looove nouvelle vague, and am considering using their cover version of ‘I’ll Stop the Word and Melt With You’ for our first dance. darn all those tv commercials that are currently stealing it from me!
i believe the small stakes is just one guy- jason munn. his work is phenomenal! and if you email him, he may (or may not, be prepared to be heartbroken) have some irregular leftovers in his studio. he’s a nice guy!
oooooh i love mates of state.
Great find, those are great. I’ve been to more than a few of those shows!
