Smurfs and Burlesque for Familia Minneapolis

What up bluefaces! Here’s a couple new images from the Burlesque Design and Printmaking group. Yes oh yes the content’s the finest: Smurfs getting generally pretty much inappropriate, and Gargamel doing a neat kickflip trick on his skateboard machine! It’s amazing how much free stuff – in terms of humour – you can get from classic cartoons that tended to have odd, unsettling subtexts. These particular images are made for Minneapolis’s single skateboard-only shop Familia. Get on the board and push with two hot spankin new screenprint posters!

FAMILIA SMURFS PRINTS
Our friends over at Familia Skateshop (Minnesota’s only all-skateboard shop) know how to get down. They’ve enlisted the help of the one and only Todd Bratrud to get themselves Smurfed into the party zone. We have TWO new posters for you – one featuring a rowdy famiilia of Smurfs and another featuring badman Gargamel pon di kickflip.

SMURF PRINT
19 x 19″
8 color print on Cougar White paper

GARGAMEL PRINT
12 x 25″
5 color print on French Speckletone Cream or Relic Gold paper

I bet you’ve never seen Gargamel rip the sky a new one like that. He’s kind of been shy about his skills before now, but he got convinced to come out of the coping closet once he saw his blue-footed adversaries having a totally fun night partying hard. I’m hoping for a special edition Azrael “Smurfy Breakfast” print. Until then!

This post is in the World Famous Design Junkies bad taste category for debauchery.
