For our Inside Llweyn Davis issue, we teamed up with our friends at White Duck Screen Print for a special exhibition of seven specially commissioned silk-screen gig posters inspired by the films of the Coen brothers – reframing iconic movies like Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski and Inside Llewyn Davis as headlining musical acts.

To celebrate the release of the Coens’ latest, Hail, Caesar!, we’ve released a limited number of the screen prints, which you can pick up from our online shop.
