Mike Klay (aka Powerslide Design Co) is a Seattle-based artist who has created gigposters for the likes of Ladytron, Camera Obscura and Death Cab for Cutie (we are slightly jealous of how many good gigs he has seen for free over the years). “Shady”, his beautiful mod lady design, used to be a gigposter for Simian Mobile Disco. Their clubby, sexy music inspired him to trawl through the back page escort section of his local newspaper. (If you look closely at Shady, she’s even naughtier than she looks…) Mike’s other muse is the Pacific Northwest which turns up time and time again as the backdrop for his beautiful art.
