Another Awesome Project Completed at Spudnik!

January 23rd, 2012

A few weeks ago, Stephen Pearlman and Mark Townes came to Spudnik. We provided a few hours of screenprinting lessons, and they whipped up an edition of 10 prints as part of Tonight The Angels Box Set, a very well put together collection of singles that Haberdashery released through out 2011. Nice documentation too!
