Highlight: Aaron Horkey

(Click the crop above for detail.)

Aaron Horkey is a phenomenal illustrator and poster artist who grew up in rural Minnesota. His hand-drawn, obsessively detailed typography never ceases to amaze me. When we interviewed Aaron for issue one, he offered helpful advice about avoiding mistakes.

Don’t try a half cab flip right out the gate just because your high school crush happens to be watching - you will roll your ankle and end up in a shameful heap.

In early September, Aaron will be part of a group show called “Catalyst” at FIFTY24SF Gallery in San Francisco. Below is a sneak peak at the line art for a new print for the show. OMG Posters reports “This thing is going to be insane when it’s done. It will be printed on paper that feels like skin, then hand-embellished with paint. Ridiculous.”
