When you’re trying to make a point, simple is powerful. I came across Heads of State last year when I pointed some stumped students here when they were trying to come up with poster designs for the Art Show. Within 40 minutes, those kids had some really solid work.
Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers have been working together in one form or another since 2002. After graduating Tyler School of Art’s militant design program, Kernevich and Summers began making silkscreen posters for Philadelphia’s independent music scene. The graphic and conceptual simplicity of their collaborations made an immediate impact on the burgeoning poster revival in North America. Local clients and small projects paved the way to international acclaim and assignments from the likes of R.E.M., Wilco, and The New York Times. They now run a full-service design and illustration operation, applying their graphic elegance and visual wit to a wide range of clients and projects. They’ve won awards from Communication Arts, American Illustration, Print Magazine, Graphis, and the Society of Illustrators.
2 days, 3 hours, 13 minutes until it HAS to be done. (recap: this is a 4ftx8ft woodcut to be printed with a steamroller.)

I strongly encourage everyone to go back to the GMoA when you have more time to see the Hatch Show Print exhibition, which will be up through November 6.
Unfortunately, Jim Sherradin’s lecture on how Hatch practices “preservation through production” has already passed, but the exhibition shows how their studio practice compares with that of presses like those featured in the “Hot Metal and Cool Paper” show and with the growing ranks of hobby printmakers. It’s also just a really, really, cool show!
