• Flier of the week: U.S. Pipe CD release

  I pretty much fell in love with the pop-art styled hippy/hottie take on Shiva (I think that's Shiva -- my Hindu mythology is a little shaky) on this U.S. Pipe CD release poster the second I saw it. The style, the subject matter, the detail -- all brilliant! Good to know that even as the music industry as we know it dries up and blows away, the art of rock posters is alive and well -- flourishing even! -- Cory Casciato
