Anywho, the only place to catch these is at one of Beach House's live shows. They are somewhere in the US right now, on the road with Vampire Weekend.

Be sure to grab one if you see it, they were printed in a three-color limited edition of 94 on some wonderful lavender paper. Thanks for holding the poster, Joe!

Caitlin, Tyler, and I collaborated on this poster. It was screen printed in an edition of 140 with six colors. It currently sits in the collection at the Museum of Contemporary Craft. Maybe you can spot one around Portland this summer.

Some people from Baltimore are coming to town, so check it out! Above is the poster KCP made for the show. It's 13x19.5" and silk-screened with fanciful florescent colors. Drawings by Caitlin Cunningham, layout and text by Jordan Bernier.

Oh, and the show is on June 10th at Holocene in Portland, OR.

Playing this Sunday night at Holocene (5/10/09)! Will be awesome. Keep your eyes peeled for the poster around town because it was designed by Caitlin Cunningham and it's really rad.
