#21 Mike Tallman • Add Noise

Mike Tallman is the artist and printmaker behind Add Noise Studios, a Pasadena-based studio known for screen-printed work for Dave Matthews Band, Trey Anastasio, Mount Joy, The Avett Brothers, and more. He joins the show to discuss DesignerCon, Flatstock, collecting poster art, and the evolution of his studio from designer to hands-on printer. Mike shares stories from building a DIY print shop, producing large edition runs by hand, and learning the craft through collaboration with fellow artists like Dave Kloc. The conversation explores test prints, foil variants, paper stocks, poster collecting culture, and the philosophy behind making every print feel intentional.
