Notes
These posters were printed with yet another experimental batch of hemi. Kris wanted a silver ink so Micho of Avant Garde Art Supplies came up with the goods. However, if people rubbed the paster or leaved on them the silver came off. Back to the ink Kitchen Micho - Micho has made some fantastic ink over the years. He is a mad scientist. Red Hand is stamped on these by hand.
