Super cool gig posters by Bram Kinet for your viewing pleasure

“Breath of fresh air” might be an expression used mainly by teachers when describing particularly astute pupils, but it’s so applicable to Dutch designer Bram Kinet’s lo-fi posters that I can’t help but bandy it about. The type is large and retro, the colour combinations are unexpected and there’s a collage-influenced, freeform element to his style that’s reminiscent of the posters junior school kids use to advertise their school discos, in the absolute best way. A man with an owl head and a red felt-tip penis surfing on a large flat fish, for example? How could we resist?

It’s more than just weirdness that’s drawing us in, though – Bram’s affinity for matching style to occasion is an impressive thing to master, and the fact that there’s nothing run-of-the-mill in his work even more so. Just look at the legless secateur-wielding cyclist if you don’t believe me. This portfolio is a breath of fresh air in the truest sense. (There. I said it.)
