Works by Panther Club members (2009–12). File under: MEMPHIS HAS A POSSE. I knew Hickson would reveal another revival reference point, and then Cole Moss pointed me to Michael Willis’ Panther Club.
Not entirely, holistically Memphis Group—but just as incredibly indebted to the style—these graphic designers were mostly born during/after the era. As with Hickson, this work does not feel like a reanimated corpse. It’s something more akin to rediscovering and further exploring a small, forgotten island.
Research/works by Clay Hickson (2010–12). File under: MEMPHIS REBIRTH. Hickson’s work initially emulated the Memphis Group which he clearly researched at a deep level. It’s clear now though—having mastered the vernacular—that he’s taking Memphis down roads that didn’t exist in the 1980s. One to watch, for sure. (↬unicodecharacters)
