On Tuesday, February 9th, please join us for the kick-off to our Spring 2010 Speaker Series season as we welcome Paul Sahre for a meditation on, among other things, "alien abduction attempts, the hairless hand, dead pig heads, boring sex and eating the dinosaur."

According to Paul's site, he is...
a graphic designer that works out of his own shitty office in New York City.
He received his BFA and MFA from Kent State and teaches at the School of Visual Arts
He finds comfort in the fact that we are all hurtling through space.

After graduate school in the early 90's, Paul garnered great acclaim for his silk screened posters for Fells Point Theater:

"I moved to Baltimore after graduate school and started looking for a theatre I could design posters for. I found the Fells Point Corner Theatre, a not-for-profit 75 seat theatre. I began designing and silkscreening posters for them, charging for materials only. This ended up being around $100 for 100 hand printed posters. With each of these posters: I would read each play; discuss the play with the director; and in some instances sit in on a read thru with the actors."

Paul creates book covers, posters, images, photography and illustrations for clients such as The New York TimesMetropolis Magazine, Seed Magazine, T Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, Esquire Magazine, Sundance Channel, The New School University, The School of Visual Arts, Marvel Comics, Knopf, Little Brown, Beacon Press, Simon and Schuster, Scribner, Farrar Strauss and Giroux, Penguin Putnam, Verve Records to name a few.

Need to remember why you're doing what you do? Get your tickets now, inspiration on the 9th!
