Handcooked posters created for Idlewild gigs
An off-shoot of the Stirling-based design company Baseline – Handcooked Posters – specialising in both the design and the printing of limited edition, screen printed gig posters, has released a range of prints for Scots rockers Idlewild.
Screen printed gig posters are common in the US, with a large collectors market buying artwork featuring their favourite bands, but very rarely done in the UK.
A series of five limited edition 9″x24″ two-colour screen prints were produced for Idlewild to celebrate the band playing five consecutive nights in the legendary King Tuts in Glasgow at the end of December.
Editions of around 50 prints of each posters are on-sale at the gigs across the five nights.
With an in-house screen-printing set up, Handcooked Posters features the work of the designers at Baseline, while also collaborating with other designers who share a passion for screen printed gig poster art.
The five Idlewild prints have been designed by US-based design student Staci Rowlison and art directed/printed by Douglas Walker, Baseline.
