The fine folks at the Saint Claire Recording Company were nice enough to ask us to help decorate the walls of their studio. They were kind enough to offer us a tour and the space is simply breathtaking. We were more than thrilled to exhibit some of our gig posters there! Thanks for the invite, guys!
Check out their site for more about Saint Claire.
Cricket Press is proud to announce we’re in a great new book:
ROCK PAPER SHOW!
Rock Paper Show documents the first decade of the twenty-first century as the high-water mark in the storied intersection of graphic design and music. Against the backdrop of the digital- music revolution, the rock poster reemerged during this period as the calling card of impossibly talented new artists and design studios brought up on Black Flag, Joy Division, the Flaming Lips, and the Melvins. Simultaneously, the posters that these studios produced were celebrated by a rapidly growing nation of indie-rock fans who all woke up one day craving beautiful new music-related objects in their lives. The excitement—matched equally in the design and music worlds—was captured by and celebrated via the birth and rapid rise of Flatstock, the American Poster Institute’s ongoing rock-poster exhibition.
Since its inception in 2002, Flatstock has evolved into the definitive showcase of the most talented poster artists working today. Rock Paper Show: Flatstock Volume One is an editorial and visual history of the first 20 Flatstocks, with contributions from the artists and studios that regularly attend the events and the bands who are often the subjects of the posters, as well as critics and collectors involved in this community. Rock Paper Show collects for the first time the original posters created for each Flatstock by the attending studios. Veteran poster-makers take the reader on behind-the-scenes looks at the studios, the artists, the regional scenes, and the personalities of this vibrant and varied community.
Curated by Geoff Peveto (president, American Poster Institute).

Cricket Press has a new site devoted purely to our Wedding Services!
We’re not making a lot of noise on our homepage about it yet because it still needs some tweaking…and well…we’re booked solid in the wedding department until almost December. But!…I think it’s a nice showcase of our portfolio and a service we really want our clientele to know we focus on and provide now!
Sara and I both have work accepted into the upcoming “Unusual Animals” show at the 930 Gallery in Louisville. From what I can gather, the show is a collaboration of sorts with the excellent indie label, Asthmatic Kitty.
The exhibit runs April 5th - April 27th, with an opening on April 5th that sounds promising. Go check it out! We’ll be there.
We will continue to accept orders through the season, but anything ordered after December 20th will not be mailed until after New Years Day.

CUSTOM HOLIDAY CARDS?
It may seem ridiculous but when you’re in the business of designing and printing greeting cards…now is the perfect time to begin thinking about the upcoming Holidays. This is just a preliminary announcement about getting custom Holiday Cards created by us this season. We’ll of course have numerous in-house designs that we’ll have for sale, but if you are wanting something that is completely your own, a design we work personally with you in creating…then you might want to reserve a slot with us soon. We can only commit to a certain number of jobs around this hectic time of year…so, it’s never TOO EARLY to get in touch.
If you are interested in having Cricket Press design and print your own, custom batch of cards this holiday…please so not hesitate to contact us to ask questions, request pricing and/or to reserve a slot with us.
-never too early-
