Critical praise for Jay Ryan's 100 Posters, 134 Squirrels: "Jay Ryan's decade of rock-postering has produced some superb and arresting work...I cannot think of a better visual advertisement for underground rock: posters that are wild, articulate, and well made; posters with both a heart and a brain."--PopMatters "Not only a gorgeous catalog of the artist's many memorable posters, but a history of sorts of the Chicago underground rock scene in the last 15 years."--Chicago Sun-Times "Jay Ryan takes the germ of an idea and makes it uniquely great. His genius is in knowing what matters and what doesn't...His genius is in having the image matter."--Steve Albini Jay Ryan has been making screen-printed concert posters in Chicago since 1995. Known for his hand-drawn type, humorous animal subjects, and muted color selections, he has worked for thousands of rock bands, as well as clients like Patagonia clothing, Converse shoes, Burton Snowboards, and the BBC. His first book, 100 Posters, 134 Squirrels, published in 2005 on the Punk Planet imprint of Akashic Books, is now in its third printing. When he's not playing bass in his band Dianogah, Jay lectures students and shows his prints at universities and galleries across the U.S. and Europe.
