Little Rock-er.

Rosemary, a loyal reader of the blog, wrote to me to share a very talented friend of hers, artist Paul Michael Dellostritto. Rosemary wrote, “Little Rock is a pretty low key city, so anytime I can do my part to promote a local artist, I feel the need.” I think you’re going to be pretty excited she did.

Rosemary tells me that Paul Michael Dellostritto is a favorite artist in Little Rock, and that his hauntingly beautiful posters are always found gracing the walls of White Water Tavern, a historic dive bar that’s promoted local music for thirty years. He also makes commissioned posters for local and nationwide artists, as well as some fine art prints. Because most of the artists featured on his posters are local and friends of White Water patrons, many of Little Rock’s hipsters can be seen stealing his posters from the bathrooms to hang on their walls at home. But now, lucky for us, Paul’s just started selling prints for as low as $5 on his website, his work is so very beautiful and clearly affordable. I’ve ordered ‘beautiful’ one already! Thanks for the great tip, Rosemary!

    Where did you find the “Journey to Nowhere” poster? I cannot find it at Paul’s website.

    Great use of type and vintage photography. I have to admit, if I saw one hanging, I might swipe it too! Really simple and sweet. Lovin’ it.
