Aesthetic Apparatus

So, I keep meaning to tell you about Aesthetic Apparatus, this super cool design studio founded around 1999 in Madison, Wisconsin by Dan Ibarra and Michael Byzewski. They used to consider themselves “Minneapolis’ best totally unknown design super team”, but with clients like Harper Collins, Chronicle Books, and a whole bunch of awesome bands that we all know and love, I don’t think that they can make a case for obscurity any longer (and they’re probably not even trying). Anyway, I’ve been buying prints from them for my own place and as gifts for awhile, and I was reminded that I wanted to tell you about them when our friend Colleen from The Pretty Pear told us about The Poster List (another very excellent pop art poster shop).

So, here I am very early in the morning (or not so early, if you’re across the pond) to show you some of the limited edition 18″ x 24″ and 19″ x 25″ prints that Aesthetic Apparatus sells on their site for a mere $20 a pop. These are true limited editions, so when they sell out, that’s it; no reprints, ever. What that means is that if you see one you like, buy it, because it is never coming back except on eBay where you will pay $75 for it while you inhale a pint of Chunky Monkey and cry about the mistake you made. Or maybe I’m the only one who experiences reverse buyer’s remorse, but I doubt it, so don’t let that happen to you.

Avoid disappointment and smarten up your pad here.
