For the past few years, I have held Hyphenfest, a celebration of my super cool birth. I like to be a little over the top, so I always make some sort of ridiculilous poster. This year’s theme is 2012, the end of the days. It’s always fun to try new techniques and styles. Last year, I used a comic book theme. This year, old grindhouse movie posters were my inspiration.

I filmed the goings-on at Hyphenfest 2011 and put together 5, short, amusing videos. You can find them over on my Vimeo channel, Hyphen Home Movies, or you can check out the Hyphenfest-only channel. Here’s a sample below:

If a speech about socialism moves ya!
Better speak to Li’l Hoo-ver!

America is great, boo yah!
Come sing with Li’l Hoo-ver!

If you forget to shut the louver!
Then, come ask Li’l Hoo-ver!

Li’l Hoover Memory Cards are perfect for remembering things while under the constant threat of Red Aggression! What better way to spark your memory than nuclear annihilation?

Don’t you just love his little shorts? Goes great with that poster of J. Edgar Hoover I have available!

I’ve been working on a fairly major project since April, so posting design work online has had to take a back seat. It’s unfortunate, but necessary because this major project is going to knock your socks off. Anyway, here is a little something I created over the summer.

The origin of this poster is simple. I got tired of cleaning my roommate’s spit out of the bathroom sink, so I made this as inspiration. It has yet to work, but the poster is cool. An older version of this poster now sits, lamented, on my bathroom wall.

Good News!

Both the Hoover Poster and the Catstronaut are for sale! For $15, you can get your very own 11×17 poster to hang up! That also includes shipping. Check it out, tell your friends, like it on Facebook, talk about it with your mom.

This is a poster I made for some reason.

So, would anyone be interested in a poster of this? Is this something people would buy? If you would like a poster (11×17), leave a comment or drop me an email, we can work something out.

Edit: Want a print? Check out this little button! For $15, you can have an swell Catstronaut Poster. That even includes shipping!

I outlined my process and drafts below, if you’re interested.
