We love Ork Posters City Neighborhood posters and are happy to report that some more west coast cities are being added to the collection.

Seattle recently joined LA and San Francisco and it looks like Portland is hot on their heels. Go west (rhymes with 'best') coast!

Designer Jenny Beorkrem, a Chicago based designer, made the first poster for the best reason I can think of: she wanted a cool map of Chicago and couldn't find one. A star was born.

The typographic posters are simple looking at first glance but the jumble of shapes and letters is a wonderfully complex cocktail that is very well thought out. The different sized letters seem to deliberately call attention to how diverse components go into making up a neighborhood. A map without roads somehow makes it easier to see how neighborhoods fit together to make up a city.

The (soon to be) iconic typographic posters (about $20) and  screen prints (about $25) come in a variety of colors and they are all printed on eco friendly paper with soy based ink. Jenny uses local printers and donates part of her earnings to non profits! So cool. 

These would look equally good in a living room, dining room or office. Buy one for each city you have lived in, or WANT to live in!
