Description

Friends often ask for samples of our posters. Unfortunately, many are of limited runs because we like to screen print and most of our clients who produce posters are in the artist entertainment fields (this means they have no budgets!). We came up with this idea after seeing a deck of old MGM movie poster cards while losing our money in Las Vegas. Our intention was to give them away, but because of the high production costs, we sell them also. Each card has a different Modern Dog poster on it, and is part of a limited edition run of 2,500. We can’t wait to do the next deck.
