Eleven years ago Jeff Kleinsmith and Jesse LeDoux left Sub Pop Records' art department and formed Patent Pending Industries, designing posters that channel the analog days of graphic design, a time when hand-drawn illustrations were the norm. The highly influential duo—who "met while whizzing tomatoes at oncoming trucks"—has since created an immense portfolio of work, blending computer-based design with hand-drawn illustrations to create the unique imagery and typography featured on hundreds of posters for numerous bands.
The upcoming retrospective "11/100 Patent Pending Industries 1999 - 2010" celebrates their long history of design and printmaking, displaying nearly all of their works in their entirety at Seattle's Design Commission Gallery.
Opening 5 August 2010, the show runs through 1 October 2010.
