Artists I like: David Lance Goines


I stumbled upon David Lance Goines because of the amazing posters her produces every year to celebrate the birthday of Chez Panisse. What I found is that he's produced hundreds of posters over the years for organizations around the Bay Area.

He works in letterpress and lithography through Saint Hieronymus Press in Berkeley, a press he started in 1968 after being expelled from school for participating in the Free Speech Movement.

Many of the posters are for sale on his website, but many more are out of print and are available through the poster exchange section of his site. The poster exchange allows people to sell, trade, or acquire out-of-print posters. Goines has an immense catologue of prints to peruse, but be careful: finding the poster you most adore (that is likely out of print) can lead to long hours perusing the poster exchange, hoping that someone is willing to part with the print you want.
