ghost-town.net designs

so here i am looking at all the merch booty i got from the faint show and i am quite happy with the four color scrren print i got. i got 8th out of 100 made. so i also notice a web site address in the very corner for Ghost-Town.net.

i checked the site and these guys have really good work. ghost-town looks to be comprised of pete cardoso and christian leaflet. the site looks like only cardoso's work is up for viewing which is still about 3 gallery sections of work. the logo for ghost-town shows that these guys are out of providence, rhode island and looking through the designs section a lot of thier work looks like it has been for WBRU which is the brown university radio station.
my favorite gallery is the poster gallery which is filled with posters they have done for local shows. i was bummed they didnt have the faint poster up that i could download and post here but i found what i think may be my favorite on there , for the dropkick murphey's. looks like many of the prints are available for purchase, if they aren't sold out. what i like about cardoso's prints are the different styles he has, not one of the posters looks like any of the others. bigger names out there like Kozick, Coop, and Fairey have so much work in thier library but can be spotted as thier own work. im not sure which is better, doing work that people recognize as your own, or changing up the formula too keep things interesting. either way i still like what they have on here. and i have to make a note of saying "what they have on here" because it looks like the site hasnt been updated in a while. they still have an upcoming shows section with all 2002 dates. so send these guys email saying you want to see more stuff. and if you like orginal artwork from lesser known designers, shell out the $10 or so and get a print.
