Description
by Brad Klausen (Artist), Eddie Vedder (Introduction by), Jeff Ament (Introduction by)
"Klausen's left-field philosophies and twisted narratives beautifully underscore the stunning large-format artwork and contribute a greater depth of expression. A must-have for any music fan, artist, or aspiring graphic designer." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review, Pick of the Week), on the first edition
FROM A BASEMENT IN SEATTLE, THE POSTER ART OF BRAD KLAUSEN: EXPANDED EDITION is an extensive look into the creative process through which artist Brad Klausen generates imagery for rock posters for Pearl Jam, as well as Built to Spill, Queens of the Stone Age, U2, Soundgarden, Explosions in the Sky, MGMT, Mogwai, Faith No More, The Jesus Lizard, Widespread Panic, and others. With introductions from Eddie Vedder and Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam, this expanded hardcover edition also includes new posters from Klausen's archive.
Starting chronologically with the first poster he ever made, and covering more than seventy-five different works, the book follows the growth and development of Klausen's art. Alongside the image of each finished poster are sketches and detailed commentary of the story behind the execution and concept of the individual designs.
All the never-before-seen pieces and parts that were used to build each design are included: the initial rough sketches, the final inkings, the hand-drawn and computer-drawn typographic elements, and all other elements used in the construction of the final piece. Klausen takes apart and dissects each design to show how the artwork comes together, providing viewers a a rare look over the shoulder of the artist.
