FEATURED ARTIST: EMEK

Back in the day, I used to say that DL was the house that Emek built because he was the first consistent, big-name, longer-run concert poster artist that we worked with (who basically kept the doors open through the difficult times of establishing the business) – a relationship that has lasted through all 22 years. Emek is, without a doubt, a special breed of artist with a distinctive, instantly recognizable style that continues to this day… And while here at DL, we like to make every artist we work with feel special and will go the extra mile for… Emek really tests that with his signature print runs that include multiple variants, different types of papers, Color changes, insane blends, keeping progressives, and so on. Keeping account of everything is half the challenge, but hey, it’s Emek, so we will do it by golly. Lastly, I would say we have printed a lot of Emek skeletons and skulls, elements that he used to convey his ideas and stories, which also happen to be the parts of the body that will last the longest on this earth ha ha ha…. – Steve
