Two of our favorite artists from the contemporary rock poster renaissance currently underway, Aaron Horkey and Jay Ryan, have just released a collaborative 25-color screenprint entitled “Versus”. The print, who’s layers were hand separated (no computers used!), measures in a just a little over 12″ x 29″ and is currently available here. The higher priced variant edition looks to be sold out already, but with Horkey hand embellishments, similar to the “Detritus” print we saw from his showing at FIFTY24SF couple years back, we’re not too surprised!
Process photos and little more info on the various layers after the jump.
