Beauty Prosthetics
Hello, you lovely people. If there's one thing we've been remiss in discussing, it's art (or maybe television, perhaps. Some of you sure do like the jumping box, don't you?). So here's a little prose-snifter of info about one of our favorite companies on the interweb, Aesthetic Apparatus. They're based in Minneapolis, and it's only two guys (Dan and Michael). They love music, and are extremely artistically talented, so they combined these two attributes into a poster-making company, and have just blown up so hard. Their concert posters (which is what they specialize in) are gorgeous: heavy-weight stock, thick, rich color, and freakishly imaginative design/layout. The Shins poster on the left (the text is kind of hard to read, but it's advertising a summer two-night show the band played with Rogue Wave and Calexico) is goddamn near one of the coolest things we own, and by far the most well-rendered piece of art we've ever seen on a concert poster (thanks JW), even though it is, you know, the pink-and-brown severed head of Sir Thomas More. We'd recommend signing up for their mailing list, since their posters often sell out immediately after release (check out their sold out gallery if you go by the site, it's well worth it), but also because Dan and Michael write some of the most self-deprecating and hilarious emails this side of an Insound update.
