Discovering fun retro designs of Vintage Covers & Posters<\/a> resulted in an instant love affair in our editorial room. From “Wow, look at this!” to “Hahaha, this one’s even funnier!” and “I’M FUCKED, the cheeky bugger!” We couldn’t wait to get the answers to the questions that were burning holes in our in our T-shirts! A\u00a0 big hello to Klaas, a Dutch illustrator with a burgeoning Spreadshop!<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it great to have a poster shop as an outlet for your screwed-up mind? Where do you get your wicked humor from?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I really couldn’t tell you \u2013 I just can’t help it! Most of it just pops up when I see weird book covers. It must be some sort of abnormality in my brain. A ‘screwed up mind’ actually hit the nail on the head.<\/p>\n

Your Spreadshop offers an ironic take on book covers and film posters from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s. What’s your main source of inspiration?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It all started with Children keep asking me the same shit<\/a>, a book that was originally titled ‘The Questions Children Ask\u2019 – or something like that. The cover just evoked the idea of how children never stop asking you questions. The same questions, over and over again. Then I thought ‘this was fun, let’s see if I can do a few more’. This has turned into 239 (and counting) covers so far. I get them from various places, but mostly via bookstores that I follow on Instagram. I like calling it my #bookstagram.<\/p>\n
