An underground poster has seconds to interrupt the street. Scale, contrast and an image that refuses politeness must do the work before the paper is covered, torn down or weathered into abstraction.
Constraint sharpens the message. One ink, cheap stock and a borrowed typeface can produce greater urgency than unlimited tools because every mark must justify the cost of printing it.
The strongest posters do more than announce an event. They establish a visual code that lets a scattered community recognize itself on walls, record sleeves and later generations of copied designs.
Paper remains effective precisely because it is vulnerable. A poster can be removed, but its temporary occupation of public space turns design into confrontation rather than decoration.
Collector of strange images and forgotten scenes. Believes art is a way of questioning the world, not decorating it.
