Artist Showcase: Printmaker Leia Bell

Rilo Kiley Poster by Leia Bell
Rilo Kiley. The original sketch for this poster I did when I noticed how carefully my son placed a naked Barbie doll in the arms of his sock monkey. We called it a “forbidden romance.” —Leia Bell
Pixies Poster by Leia Bell
The Pixies. This illustration was based off of a magazine collage plus a weird blind contour sketch of my dog, Cade. It was also very special to me to be able to create a poster for one of my favorite bands during their 2004 reunion tour. —Leia Bell
Le Tigre Poster by Leia Bell
Le Tigre. I like this one because it was drawn from a photo of my 2 older sons (now 17 and 15) and a friend jumping on a bed. The image gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling about innocence and youth in general. —Leia Bell
Apollo Sunshine by Leia Bell
Apollo Sunshine. Probably my most recognizable poster, the inspiration behind the image was from a visit to the Cincinnati Zoo where my kids were mesmerized by a swimming polar bear. The enclosure had a viewing area below ground where you could watch the bear swim behind glass. This poster was used as an example of gig poster art in an article in Newsweek magazine from 2005, which was flattering to see in print. —Leia Bell
Weezer Poster by Leia Bell
Weezer. This was the last gig poster I designed before semi-retiring from poster printing back in 2010. It is also special to me to get to design posters for my brother’s band. —Leia Bell
