City Pages is running a great profile of Serik Kulmaeshkenov, an extremely talented Minneapolis artist who has a visual impairment. A few years ago, the Department of Human Services and VSA Arts did a joint call for poster art that promotes the employment of people with disabilities. Serik submitted one of the winning designs and it remains my favorite of the bunch. You can see a thumbnail of his poster here (PDF format). It’s the second one from the left; the one with the astronauts. Maybe I can find a better scan of it on my work computer. The article discusses Serik’s work designing bookplates and I’m glad that he continues to get commissions.
