This is one of those posters that look deceptively simple but in reality are loaded with tons of minute details that you have to see up close, or in person, to appreciate. Scroll down for some of the detail in the process pictures or at their blog.

Theres a lot of red here, but it isn't overwhelming. I hate how in my visual memory bank, red hunting caps are owned by Holden Caulfield in JD Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. Print available here.

From their blog, I can only tell a few things about The Silent Giants: they're a design group located in or near Michigan, and they love silk-screening.
