Mark Pedini

Austin, TX

Mark Pedini was corrupted early on by underground comic artists such as Daniel Clowes, Peter Bagge, Robert Crumb and Dennis Worden. Stymied by an inability to create narrative or sequential action, Mark chose instead to emulate his idols in one-frame scenarios that represent fragments in time not unlike the fragments of thought that dance through his stimuli-addled brain.

Having attended a state college for studio arts (BFA Printmaking) Mark was particularly receptive to screenprinting during the lost, post-academic years of wandering. As a resident artist at AS220 in Providence, he began to make screenprinted posters to promote performances on the unjuried stage.

Mark continues to love music and make posters in Austin, TX.

strawberryluna

Pittsburgh, PA

[From her website:] I am a screen printer and designer born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I moved 300 miles away from home only to realize that I am, in fact, still in Pennsylvania. This gives me a lot of practice correctly spelling "Pennsylvania". Now I make my home in No Rules Pittsburgh with my husband and our dog.
While most kids were out stealing concert posters from clubs, I was busy swiping circus posters from telephone poles. Propaganda art and absurd random associations fascinate and influence me. I am lucky enough to work from the fantastic community print studio Artists Image Resource.

Allison's fine screenprinting work can also be found on ETSY and gigposters.com
