strawberryluna TODAY Show 2015 Toyota Summer Concert Series Posters!

http://www.today.com/popculture/today-summer-concert-series-2015-see-full-lineup-t17861Around these parts? Sometimes we have big announcements, and sometimes we have BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS.

This news counts as the latter. We have been hard at work for 4 months (and counting) on a dream project that’s really hard for us to believe even now is a reality. We are beyond honored, excited, thrilled and delighted to finally be able to share that we have been working with the iconic TODAY Show this year to create posters and identities for each and every one of the TODAY Show Toyota Summer Concert Series performances, broadcast live from Rockefeller Plaza all throughout the entire summer. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the TODAY Show Summer Concert Series as well. And both of us being lifelong fans and viewers of The TODAY Show, it’s an amazing honor to be an official part of the show’s history.

Below are our posters for the first 8 of more than 20 musical artists who will play on The Plaza this year, with the designs that we created for The TODAY Show being given away to fans as posters, used as VIP pass art and t-shirts for VIPs on Rockefeller Plaza during the TODAY Show Toyota Summer Concert Series shows. We will be sharing each of the posters and designs that we created for each musical artist appearing in the Summer Concert Series throughout the rest of the summer both here an on our own Facebook Page, Twitter and Instagram accounts so you can follow us there, ask questions and learn more about this super fun project. And you can follow along with The TODAY Show’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts too for behind the scenes photos and videos as well.

Sometimes the dead do come back. Yep! It’s true. There are a few long-sold out art prints that we have been considering bringing back from the archives and we’re happy to announce that 2 of our most requested silkscreen art prints are back in a big way.

“Fair Is Fair Trade” was originally designed and printed in 2008, featuring dark-roast brown and an Aegean Blue iconic NYC coffee take out cup with the slogans “Fair is fair. Justo es justo” supporting the freshly poured cup of joe.

“Coffee, Thee & Me” was originally designed and printed in 2009 featuring and elephant and a giraffe, super best friends sharing a moment of love and fidelity over a steaming cup of fresh coffee.

Both coffee-themed screen prints were created as a part of an art show initiative to raise awareness and funds for a fair trade coffee collective which Mugshots Coffee House in Philadelphia, PA works with regularly. Both coffee-forward print runs sold out quickly, and being major coffee fans as well as strong believers in not only supporting fair trade practices, but in putting our money where our mouths are and giving back creatively. To that end, we are really excited to re-release and re-print both designs as open edition art prints with a portion of the sale of each print benefiting Fair Trade USA. Fair Trade USA educates consumers, brings new manufacturers and retailers into the Fair Trade system, and provides farmers with tools, training and resources to thrive as international businesspeople.

Both “Fair Is Fair Trade” and “Coffee, Thee & Me” are entirely hand silkscreen printed with 3 hand mixed colors and are sized to fit beautifully into either a standard 16″ x 20″ frame by trimming the border, or into an 18″ x 24″ frame as is with a 1″ matte.

“Fair Is Fair Trade” and “Coffee, Thee & Me” are now available for purchase from our webstore here in our “Benefit Prints” section where the sale of each item directly benefits a cause or charity that we support, or in our Etsy shop here.

Below are some photographs from the hand silkscreen printing process taken while printing in our studio. There are tons more process photos at our Flickr page here too.
