Right now I’m doing a free poster giveaway to the person who buys my 200th poster from my ETSY Page!

All you need to do is “Like” my Facebook fan/friends page here. And buy the 200th poster or print and you will get a FREE poster of your choice! Free poster must be of or around the same value of the poster or print you purchased. Meaning if you buy a $8 print you cannot choose a $50 poster for free. A $20 one would be ok.

Right now I’m at 196 (199!) posters so only a few more to go! If your the 200th poster winner you must include some type of message in your order that indicates you know about this contest. Thanks!

THIS CONTEST IS NOW OVER! Thanks!

In the next few weeks I’ll be working on album packaging for The Pete Kilpatrick Band and Foam Castles. I’m very excited about both projects and can’t wait for you to see, still lots of work to do though! I also recently set up a new work desk in my apt to actually stay home and work on things so I can listen to records and relax a bit. I do pretty much 100% of my work in my downtown Portland studio. Trying to break it up a bit!

During the making of this poster I got a lot of great test prints out of it. Meaning, while screen printing I always keep a number of sheets of paper on the side to test colors, test prints and print on if there is a clog or anything in the screen. I always use old posters that I have messed up so eventually they turn into their own one-of-a-kind posters that will never be re created again even if I tried.

All posters are 12.5in.-19in. All are completely different and may contain prints on the reverse side and or small dings and dents. These are test prints after all. I can also supply more detailed pictures of a certain posters if you would like.

These are all for sale for $30 plus s+h. If you would like to purchase one please do so at my Etsy Site here, please specify which poster you are purchasing. The original poster is for sale at my Etsy Store.

If there is a SOLD! sign on the print or below it then it is all gone. Thanks!

I’ve added a new Portfolio page on Facebook for all my art postings. I’ve grown quite tired of Facebook in general and don’t enjoy posting art related things on my own page like I used to. So I’m starting from scratch hoping its more interesting and fun for me! I’ve already posted a lot of old photos on there but hope to show a lot of what I post on here on there also, plus even more in process photos as I go rather then just all at once like on here.
So if you’d like please follow me? Friend me? Whatever you do.
Find me here! (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kris-Johnsen-Art-Design-KrisJohnsencom/209653502458671)

Please, if you do not enjoy my art posting and all that stuff then just don’t follow this page, there’s already to much of everything on Facebook, I don’t want to become clutter for someone else.

In the next week I’ll be working on a new poster for the band Moe.’s Album release party in New York, I’m really psyched about this! More to come soon.
