This week's illustration inspiration exists to inform us of a visit August 19 (that's tonight) to Rhinoceropolis by Hot Springs, Arkansas band Church of the Snake -- along with contributions from Color Club (another Arkansas band) and locals Hot White and Crack Magik. It earns its nod as top flier by the simple virtue of combining form with function in the functional form of a snake man wearing a suit -- what else would a snake-man wear to church (of the snake)? You'll also not that they've cleverly placed the venue name on the tie. The rough and ready vibe of this poster might not be everyone's cup of tea, but we happen to like the occasional throwback, DIY-vibed flier, especially when they sport a cool, school-notebook inspired image like this snake guy.
