[Poster Art] Patent Pending

Since 1999, Jeff Kleinsmith and Jesse LeDoux have had their fingers deep in the poster art pudding, and have been gobbling it all up with delicious intensity. These two have a great back-story and here it is in their own words. “We started Patent Pending while working together as art directors at Sub Pop Records. At the time, a lot of the artwork for Sub Pop’s releases were done by the bands. Although we had plenty of ideas, we rarely had the opportunity to use them. There weren’t many people doing rock posters at the time so we had a great outlet to work through our various ideas without having to wait for the right project to come along at Sub Pop. We frequently get compliments on our choice of colour, good type, and a strong central image. We strive for our work to be timeless and classy. On a couple occasions they’ve wound up pointless and assy.”
