A late ’90s poster for the Tractor Tavern, a Seattle music club. Art Chantry mimicked a 1947 newspaper reporting on the infamous Roswell UFO crash. Chantry chose the typefaces “with my gut, not with my head”. Like the flying object that hit New Mexico, the narrow headline gothic is currently unidentified.

This and other classic Chantry posters are for sale directly from the artist.
