Gig Poster 'The Baby Snatchers'

A lovely post by Gaz from Sub-Culture about "the Baby Snatchers" poster. Designed by twin comic geniuses 'TwoQee' from Beijing, China.

"As most of you will know by now, each month Sub-Culture collaborates with Shanghai based printers ‘Idle Beats‘ to produce a limited run of screen printed posters, each month inviting a different artist to do the design. This month’s poster, which we have entitled ‘The Baby Snatchers’ was design by Twoqee from Beijing. Yesterday we went to the Idle Beats studio to meet up with Twoqee to ask him a few questions about the design and to see how the poster was made.

Twoqee Guo, from Beijing, is a comic illustrator and creative designer behind the “The Thing” clothing brand, and is also part of the infamous ‘Cult Youth’ comic artist collective (check out this great little video about Cult Youth here). XiaoLongHua (the artist who designed December’s Sub-Culture poster, and who is also a member of ‘Cult Youth’) explains that Cult Youth is a collective of comic illustrators based in Beijing who put out underground comic books, either collectively or individually. The latest ‘Cult Youth’ comic, Zombie Pie by Chairman Ca, was released last December and is available to buy here , but, as XiaoLongHua explained, they only produce around 1500 of each comic, and all the earlier releases are sold out, so id act quickly if you want to pick one up.
