Riassunto

"Not only a gorgeous catalog of the artist's many memorable posters, but a history of sorts of the Chicago underground rock scene in the last 15 years."
--Chicago Sun-Times

“Ryan takes a distinctly rootsy, charmingly old-school approach to design at his Bird Machine print shop . . . Homespun never looked better.”
--ReadyMade

“Whimsically breathing a refreshing innocence against the ‘grab you by the eyeballs and squeeze’ icon exploitation of Coop, Frank Kozik and The Pizz, Ryan’s quiet sketch style and his hand-pulled Easter egg blues and canary yellows make for a softer, more subconscious concert poster experience.”
--The Pulse

“Jay Ryan’s decade of rock-postering has produced some superb and arresting work . . . I cannot think of a better visual advertisement for underground rock: posters that are wild, articulate, and well made; posters with both a heart and a brain.”
--PopMatters

“Jay Ryan has been churning out some of the most consistent and engaging poster art anywhere for years . . . This is a well-put together, coffee table-style book that looks great in every respect but without the usual coffee table art book price tag.”
--The New Scheme

An updated greatest hits collection of Jay Ryan's first decade of compelling posters, framed by essays from luminaries in the music and design worlds.
