SPX 2011 – PROGRAM COVER BY JIM RUGG
SPX POSTER 2012 – LOOKS TO BE BY CHRIS WARE.
yep, the SPX 2012 POSTER – IS . . . by CHRIS WARE. it’s spawned a whole mini-universe of well-deserved, huge fan comments already, as in: “awesome, I have no words . . . ” – google it.
yep, it rates a close-up !!
in fact, the title slogan on the SPX 2012 poster is: “celebrating 200,000 years of non-mainstream publishing activity”. ha. though I think the earliest ‘documented’ cavemen drawings only go back 40,000 years, or so, but what’s a couple of hundred thousand years in the face of great art !!
we get the message, right on !!
