Former student Max Mahn (2015 BFA/Printmaking)
BORN AND RAISED IN MONTANA, MAX MAHN HAS BEEN CREATING LIMITED EDITION SCREEN PRINTS OUT OF HIS HOME TOWN OF MISSOULA UNDER THE PSEUDONYM TWIN HOME FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS. OVER THOSE YEARS, MAX HAS WORKED WITH A WIDE ARRAY OF CLIENTS BOTH BIG AND SMALL. HIS WORK RANGES FROM ILLUSTRATING SHIRTS FOR HIS LOCAL COLLEGE RADIO STATION (KBGA!) TO DESIGNING BOTTLES AND PACKAGING FOR NATIONALLY DISTRIBUTED BREWERIES. HOWEVER, HIS TRUE PASSION WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN THE ART OF GIG POSTERS. THE SURREAL OPPORTUNITY TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE BANDS THAT MAX IDOLIZED AS A KID, SIMPLY CANNOT BE EXPLAINED. AS A ONE MAN OPERATION, MAX NOT ONLY STRIVES AS AN ILLUSTRATOR TO CREATE THE BIZARRE AND UNIQUELY FITTING IMAGERY FOR ALL OF HIS CLIENTS, BUT TO ALSO SCREEN PRINT THE MAJORITY OF HIS WORK HIMSELF. COMBINING HIS YEARS OF EXPERTISE IN THESE TWO CRAFTS HAS GONE ON TO ALLOW MAX TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE NATIONS LARGEST TOURING ACTS INCLUDING WILCO, DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, PHISH, AND MANY MORE. www.Twin Home Prints
