Yo Rodeo Poster Co. (or YoRoPoCo) is the given name of a design/screenprint art team in Halifax Nova Scotia. Partners Seth Smith and Paul Hammond joined forces in the summer of 2003 to seduce and hoodwink the local indie scene out of their last precious pennies in exchange for beautiful artwork.
Cutting their teeth primarily on screenprinted posters, they have since expanded their focus to include album art and packaging, t-shirt design, illustration, logos, fine art, not-so-fine art, and more. Their work and reputation have travelled the country and is sneaking across the internet, and all over the world right now, right as you read these very words! The team was voted "Best Visual Artist" two years running in The Coast's Best Of Halifax Reader's Poll, and recently was voted "Best Poster Artist" in the same poll.
They're known for their love of re-constructed patterns, clashing colours, bold graphic style and destruction of text and typefaces. The enemy of the true-type font, and the ally of hand-set type, they count misfit animals and bad drawings among their closest friends.
