The Artful Home: The Small Stakes

I love the simple palettes and clever images of Oakland's The Small Stakes studio. Founded by Wisconsin transplant Jason Munn in 2003, The Small Stakes designs frameworthy silkscreened gigposters for a variety of bands, as well as CD packages, t-shirts, and book covers.

Take a look:

Ted Leo + Pharmacists

Chavez

The Decemberists

Mark Kozelek European Tour

Stars Canadian Tour

Noise Pop 15th Anniversary

Castanets

Mates of State

Mark Kozelek East Coast Tour

My Brightest Diamond

Each poster costs $25 and is available right here.

(And if you're in the area, be sure to check out "The Small Stakes: A Year in Posters" at San Francisco's new Curiosity Shoppe. The opening is Friday night, December 7, from 6 to 9 p.m., and the show runs through January.)
