Kitsune Noir Poster Club
December 14, 2009 // Kitsune Noir Poster Club
Over the last 7 months this blog has become my life and career. Making the blog as enjoyable and informative as possible has been my main goal, but I’ve had a lot of opportunities open up to me that have made me realize I can do more. I’ll be expanding the scope of Kitsune Noir, creating new projects that will slowly start to manifest themselves over the next few months.
For now though, I’m happy to introduce the Kitsune Noir Poster Club which I’ve teamed up with Society6 to create. The KN/PC is a way for me to be a part of something that not only promotes art but positions Kitsune Noir as something more than just a blog. For this first round of posters I’ve asked five of my favorite artists to interpret books they really enjoy into a print that will be a lasting work of art. The first collection of poster artists include Frank Chimero, Mark Weaver, Jez Burrows, Cody Hoyt and Garrett Vander Leun.
The prints come in three different sizes:
17″ X 23″ / $50
22″ X 28″ / $55
28″ X 40″ / $70
They’re all gallery quality Giclée prints on bright white, matte, smooth surface, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper printed using Epson K3 archival inks and then custom trimmed with 2″ border. Fancy stuff, right?
I’ll also be running interviews with each other artists throughout the week starting with Frank Chimero later today. He’ll be talking about his process in creating his poster, which trust me, was a lot of work and is truly fascinating. I’ve admired his work for a while now but it’s truly awesome to see how far he dives into his work.
I hope you enjoy the prints and if you’d like to order one click any of the posters below. Any of these would make wonderful presents for the holidays. This is only the first poster series with many more to come, so get ready for more beautiful art.

Whoa, I'm having serious deja vú right now. If water spills or something right now it'll get weirder.
Incredible!
What are great collection of people and prints!

How very exciting for you Bobby, as well as the artists! Congratulations!
Now if I wasn’t so broke, I’d pick up the Walden print, love all the different trees.

Hi
I just fell in love with the Moby Dick Poster by Marc Weaver. I bought it right away without looking at the postage price… and postage to France is just a bit over the poster’s price !
What wouldn’t I do to support artists !!! :-)
By chance, the USD/EURO conversion rate is in my favor !! :-)
Thanks for the tip!

What a fun cross-section. In particular, I love Walden’s lighthearted take juxtaposed with Infinite Jest’s rampant emotion.

The posters for Slaughterhouse Five and The Road are incredible. I’m looking forward to these hanging on my wall and seeing more from this collection in the future. Great work!

These are all great. I’m tempted to get the Moby Dick poster for a friend of mine who recently finished the book.

Wow. These are dimebag; every one of them. If my walls were completely covered right now, Moby Dick would profess his revenge to all of my house guests.

Couldn’t be more excited about this. Just bought two of these. I love the book theme ad the fact that they’re title-optional.
