BRAINSTORMs 'SAILORS DELIGHT' POSTER

Brainstorm Print & Design hail from New Jersey and they've got a killer collection of work under their hats. Their work is humorous and on point. Not over conceptualized. Not uptight.

Brainstorm has taken something as lame & generic as a HELLO name tag and doodled the likenesses of 5 of the most important artists of all time.
