Eye-Burning Psychedelia: Mishka Westell

Bearded Lady has had the pleasure to work with designer/illustrator Mishka Westell quite a bit recently. She reliably produces vibrant, organic, hand-drawn poster designs that are always a pleasure to print. This nutty graphic is courtesy of her seventeen-year-old self, a drawing from high school that she worked back into for this design for The Sonics. Three color screen print on manila tag.

Mishka will have a booth this year at the Flatstock Poster Show March 13-15. You might have caught her poster design for Spiritualized gracing the cover of the Gig Posters’ 2014 calendar cover. She’s also responsible for a really solid series of Roky Erickson prints. This one we printed in two color-ways – a vibrating combo of bright red and highly saturated blue that’s practically a signature of hers, and the other a subtle, subdued pearlescent blue and black.

Get Peaced at EAST

We’re super pumped up about this year’s EAST. We’ve not only spruced up our retail area to accomodate room for two pop-up shops, but we’ll have a print exhibition from a handful of Austin artists hanging as well. Look for artwork from Rich Cali, Anna Gogusey, Jessica Clark, Caitlin Alexander, Mason McFee and Abi Daniel.

We hope to see you, come through, have a beer and relax at Bearded Lady.
