SxSW Comedy Poster By Dave Perillo


It's that time of year again for one of the greatest events ever, South by Southwest SxXW down in Austin Texas. Like last year there will be a week of Comedy shows and Dave Perillo did the poster for the event. The poster is a limited edition of 200 signed and numbered 18 x 24 screenprints and will be available for sale during the festival. But only 100 will be for sale while supplies last at the merch tables at the Austin Convention Center.  A very limited edition of 65 variants were also created using metallic inks and printed on craft paper to give it a rustic look and created exclusively for SXSW Comedy performers. Dave Perillo will also have prints available online after the festival.

I asked Dave about the design:

The idea for the poster kinda stemmed from the color red. Red is being used as the identifying for the comedy part of SXSW so it got me thinking about bulls seeing red, then rodeos and the whole rodeo clown thing fit for comedy.

They wanted to incorporate the frog idea that originated last year on Todd Slater's poster, so the frog became the rodeo clown. He seems to be mascot for SXSW comedy.
