Dirty Dozen - Chris Hopewell & Jacknife Prints

by Rocket on November 21, 2008

Welcome back!

Chris Hopewell is one of the kings of the multiple colorway prints. Check out his site at Jacknifeposters.com for an idea of what I’m talking about. It might be more expensive, but from a sales and collectibles standpoint, complete genius. Chris took a second to answer a few short questions for us.

Who is Jacknife?
Chris Hopewell, Bear Hackenbush, Tape Ears, Sainty and Johnny Zilch

Beside your own work, which poster designer(s) inspire you most?
We love Frank Kozik and Alan Hymes - we love the old school raw-ness of Kozik.

If you could do poster work for any band(s), who would it be and why?
We must say we really did like doing the QOTSA series and we would happily do them the rest of our lives. But we would also like to do posters for White Stripes, Eagles of Death Metal, Wolfmother…

If we had a time machine we would love to do one for the Ramones and the Distillers.

What does the future hold for Jacknife?
Our philosophy is “Just keep on keeping on” - We love to do whole runs of tour posters, similar to the Queens ones, we just love doing series of posters.
