Portlandia Season 2 "Mixology" Poster

IFC's Portlandia recently invited us to be a participating artist in a poster series for their upcoming Season 2 release. We graciously accepted the honor of creating a poster for the first episode entitled "Mixology" .

In "Mixology" Fred helps Carrie chase a romantic mixologist (Andy Samberg) who forgets his roots when he moves from Portland to LA. As a thank you for mixing her the best cocktail of her life, Carrie decides to create the mixologist a mix tape. Our intention with this poster design was to capture the essence of Portlandia while telling a little bit about the episode itself.

These posters were used for promotional purposes only so unfortunately we will not be selling any in our store. However, you can download a free desktop picture of the image from IFC.

Below is our original sketch, some close up shots of the print itself along with a process video of our design.
