Joe Castro / ABNRML 'ABNRML 30th Anniversary' Art Print

2011 is an important year for Abnormal Tees. It is our 30 year anniversary! ABNRML started in Los Angeles in 1981 and has been printing for the last 30 years. Some of our printers have been around since the beginning. To commemorate this important achievement, we commissioned an art print from Joe Castro of Red Attic Studios. Joe came up with a 'from rooster to rabbit' theme from the Chinese zodiac symbols. There is also 30 ABNRML stars on each print. The print is also reversible so you can sport the rooster or the rabbit, depending on whether you are feeling like the 80s or more modern! This 3-color print was screened on extremely special patterned French Paper with some metallic gold and measures 12.5"x19".

Joe Castro / ABNRML 'She and Him' Poster

Do you like indie films? Do you like M.Ward? If you like indie films you probably know actress Zooey Deschanel from roles in Almost Famous, Yes Man, The Happening and Elf. MWard is an accomplished artist and producer who has released several fantastic solo albums and also teamed up with Conor (Bright Eyes) and Jim James (My Morning Jacket) to form the recent super group Monsters of Folk. Together, M.Ward and Zooey make up She & Him. ABNRML was lucky enough to produce this print for She & Him's show at Penn's Landing in Phildelphia on 7/9/10 for Live Nation and the band. We enlisted the help of Philadelphia based Joe Castro to bring this 3-color print to life. It is printed on 19"X25" mint French Paper cover stock. 100 of these babies were produced, 50 are available at the band's merch store at the show. A few remaining copies will be available from Joe or ABNRML.

Joe Castro / ABNRML 'Josh Ritter' Poster

Here is the latest Josh Ritter silk screened poster for his show this Friday at the TLA in Philadelphia, PA! This print was designed for ABNRML by Joe Castro of Red Attic Studios. It is a 2-color print screened on red 19"X25" red French Paper cover stock. 100 of these were screened and only 40 will be available to the public at Josh Ritter's merchandise stand at the show. What appears as white in this picture is actually a metallic silver ink. We are very excited for this show as we just caught his free-at-noon performance a few weeks back at the World Cafe Live. The new album is excellent so I highly recommend picking it up and checking out this show!

Joe Castro / ABNRML 'Frightened Rabbit' Poster

"You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it..." ABNRML loves Frightened Rabbit and that lyric has always been one of my favorites. Frightened Rabbit exploded onto the scene with their sophomore and fantastic album 'The Midnight Organ Fight' and will follow it up with the 2010 release 'Winter of Mixed Drinks'. This 2-color print is for their sold out performance on April 30th at the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, PA. The print is the second print to be designed by Joe Castro and printed by ABNRML. This simple and elegant design was printed on 19"X26" charcoal French Paper cover stock. A limited amount of these were produced and will be available the night of the show and through both Red Attic Studios (Joe Castro) and ABNRML.

Joe Castro 'Echo and The Bunnymen' Poster

This print marks the first poster collaboration between Joe Casto (Red Attic Studios) and ABNRML. Joe was gracious enough to work on the ABNRML holiday swag that was passed around to family and friends over the break and we are honored to be a part of this poster. This poster is a 2-color print for Echo and the Bunnymen's show at The Keswick Theater on April 25, 2010. It was printed by hand on 19"X26" navy 140lb French Paper cover stock. A limited edition of 35 prints are going to be available to the public. The remaining prints are being used by AEG for promotion. We look forward to future collaborations with Joe!
