zombie snail frenzy

Lotus Spring Tour 2010 Gigposter

We finished up a 200 poster run for the jam band Lotus over three sessions at Under Pressure Screen Printing in South Austin. These three color beauties measure about 19 x 25 inches. We used a natural white paper from OK Paper which really helped the print pop. The natural paper has a creamier, worn or vintage look to it. I’m not too much of a fan of the unnatural finish bright white paper tends to have.
