The Little Friends of Printmaking. I simply want to tell you how really, really, REALLY cool they are. The Little Friends of Printmaking are a husband-and-wife team of silkscreen artists living and working in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And in short, I want to be them. They are best known for their silkscreened concert posters each with a different wildly imaginative character in an even wilder situation. Their use of color is awesome, their attention to line work and composition is also awesome, did I mention they are awesome? Well, they are. They are those artists that make you want to be a BETTER artist. They inspire you. When I am having trouble thinking of an out-of-this-world color scheme for a website, they are my go-to color inspiration guys. And their use of hand-drawn expressive type has really got me achin' to put my illustrator hat back on.

I feel I can do nothing more but direct you to their incredible portfolio: thelittlefriendsofprintmaking.com/oops, and their official website (and yes you are not seeing a typo, that says Windex, another example of how great they are at being them): thelittlefriendsofprintmaking.com/windex.

And here are four of my favorite works by them:

BAM! Little Friends of Printmaking. Did I just blow your mind or what?
