Special Instructions
15 years ago, two graphic designers, Kevin Bradley and Julie Belcher, opened an old brick storefront space on Gay Street in downtown Knoxville, Tenn., and began a letterpress design and poster company using centuries-old technology. Guttenberg used the "rolling press" and handset type to print the first Bible. Yee-haw Industries' used a dying printing process to create highly desirable, hip art.
Their original designs, which incorporate folk art heroes (Evel Knievel, for example) country music legends (Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash), and more, were immediately embraced by musicians. Yee-Haw Industries did posters and merchandise for Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams and even ex-Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio. And the artists have a separated-at-birth kind of symbiotic relationship with Chapel Hill-based folk-art aficionados and longtime clients Southern Culture on the Skids.
Their doors are now closed and this work is highly collectable!
