brood_thumb.jpgheyrosetta_thumb.jpgpatricwatson_thumb.jpg

Of the ten 2009 Polaris Prize Shortlist Artists, three of the poster designers hail from Edmonton: Lyle Bell (for Elliott BROOD), Jeff Kulak (Hey Rosetta!) and Kirsten McCrea (Patrick Watson).

Lyle also plays in tons of awesome Edmonton bands including Shout Out Out Out Out and Whitey Houston.
Jeff does fantastic sketches of bicycles and tshirt designs for Pop Echo Records.
Kristin makes anarchist trading cards.
Cool.

Check out the full poster images after the jump.

Designarrs pt.3

Justin LaFontaine's geometry = New Math. No one can touch him on posters right now. That Obits print was the most iconic image of this year's Sled Island. It even became the face of the band's website - if it's good enough for Jehu-ligans it's good enough for every human.

Lando Speers is an immensely talented photographer with a keen sense for capturing energy and aggression. Little wonder that the best Red Hot Daggers photos were his. He also has an intimate understanding of gizmos, which makes his musical projects, "Headaches" and "St. Gilles" so fascinating.

Can't be on 780 design without mentioning Raymond Biesinger. Hands down one of the realest fellows around and also a true DIY institution. Integrity- if he fronted a punk band it's name would be Fugazi.

Same goes for Bryan Kulba and Kobot Industries. Actually if he fronted a punk band it'd still be called Bayonets!!!

When it comes to hustle though, no one can touch Given Collective aka Kevin Boothe. This kid has game on lock. Basically his older self must have built a time machine to transport work back to younghim, cause no other explanation will do. Check out Kevin's Document Magazine. so trill.

Outside of being the reigning champs of "Best Dudes in the entire Universe, beating out Turbo Buddha and the Hulkster, Taylor Schaerer & Andrew Benson are both incredibly talented illustrators and designers.

Armies of musicians especially owe each of them a debt of gratitude for all the incredible poster and album artwork they've done.

They're also responsible for your summer looking like this:
