Jim Sherraden is chief designer, archivist, and manager of the historic Hatch Show Print in Nashville, TN, one of America’s oldest letterpress print shops. Hatch Show Print has produced countless posters promoting country music stars (after all they are in Nashville), as well as historic posters for vaudeville and circus shows. Today they produce over 600 jobs annually. You can see a small sample of their more contemporary work Ryman Auditorium web site.
Tomorrow (Feb 13) Mr. Sherraden will be presenting at frog design in New York, part of the AIGANY Classic/Contemporary series. The event is sold out, but we have a pass for one lucky reader. Email mail-at-core77-dot-com with the name of your favorite country music star. We’ll pick one response at random tomorrow. Good luck!
