Printed in a very limited quantity on Alternative Apparel organic garments, Hisham’s installment features an original 2 color design (charcoal & metallic silver) printed on “earth natural” color organic crew neck t’s.

If you want more from Hisham, we recommend his Artist Music Journal, which is also limited and available in our shop.

Should you be hungry and also crave looking at the original posters, you can also find an instillation of all 20 original posters at Frank, the best hot dogs and cold beer in all of Texas.

For those of you not able to make it Flatstock 24, we are also taking pre-orders in our shop. If you fancy yourself a collector, we recommend getting orders for the deluxe edition in now, as there are only 500 copies available.  The deluxe edition features both the book and 20 11″x17″ screen-printed, letter pressed, or stenciled posters from 20 of the artists featured in the book. All the posters come in a protective portfolio denoting edition size (hand numbered of course), and all in a protective printed 12″x18″ box.

Enjoy the following previews of both the book, and the set of original posters.

To keep up with all Rock Paper Show happenings, check out the recently launched book site, designed by the book’s designers, Rumors. We will be uploading tons of content and updates over the next few months, as well as information on the book tour we are scheduling for this summer.

Edition 07 in the ongoing Artist Music Journals series features the work of the legendary Baltimore based design team Post Typography, who also happen to moonlight as two thirds of the wonderful rock band Double Dagger. For their AMJ, Bruce and Nolen chose to archive a large collection of their flyer and poster work for Double Dagger, while adding notes, stories and drawings about each work pictured.

About Post Typography -
Originally conceived as an avant-garde anti-design movement by Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen, Post Typography has come to encompass the pair’s creative collaborations including graphic design, illustration, conceptual typography, and custom lettering, with additional forays into art, apparel, curatorial work, design theory, and vandalism. Their work has received numerous fancy design awards and has been featured in such books as Ellen Lupton’s textbook Graphic Design: The New Basics, Phaidon’s Area 2, and Taschen’s Contemporary Graphic Design, as well as a new monograph of the studio’s work by European publisher Pyramyd Editions.

As longtime Baltimore residents, Strals and Willen maintain a strong presence in the local arts and music communities, contributing to numerous art and design exhibitions in Baltimore and beyond. In 2005 Post Typography curated Alphabet: An Exhibition of Hand-Drawn Lettering and Experimental Typography, a highly regarded art show that has traveled nationally to dozens of galleries and universities over the past five years. The studio recently wrote and designed Lettering & Type, a book on lettering and typeface design published by Princeton Architectural Press in Fall 2009.

We are excited to continue our Guest Blogger Series, an ongoing forum for some of our friends and collaborators to share some thoughts on their favorite music related products.

BJ Rubin is a man of many talents. Comedian, musician, archivist, writer, and all around knowledgeable guy, its no exaggeration to say that a conversation with BJ is always an enlightening experience. As avid readers of his absolutely fantastic blog, Pukekos, we knew we had to ask him to guest blog, but little did we know he would unearth this gem of a record.

For the purposes of full disclosure, it must be stated that some of us here at SSD HQ have Three Mile Pilot tattoos, and don’t own this record. If you have not heard Chief Assassin to the Sinister, head over to Pukekos now to check it out.

________________________________________________________

This record is very special.

It appears to have been hand assembled, at great time and effort I imagine. Sewing things to burlap doesn’t sound like the most pleasant way to spend an afternoon, but not liking doing something doesn’t mean that you don’t like having it done.

They obviously couldn’t contain themselves when they were putting this together, as they threw in pages from scientific reference books and Cub Scout manuals. Every bit of positive energy they could muster was put into this artifact; they cast all the spells they knew at the time on these objects.

What we have done here is capture some of that specialness for you. Most of you will probably never know what it feels like touch an actual copy of this record, as there were very few made (and I’m sure some are already lost to history). I agree with the belief that photographing a person or an object does steal its soul, a little bit of it anyway (don’t worry, you won’t even miss it). I am sure many hands touched this object before it was put out into the world, each of them imbuing it with a little piece of their soul too.

Not being able to touch it with your own hands shouldn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to feel it, etc.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, Three Mile Pilot’s Chief Assassin to the Sinister.

All markdowns are reflected in the pricing.  Happy shopping.
