I’ve found all these huge one-off poster prints that were produced for the launch of my book Liz Ham Punk Girls. All are beautifully printed non archival but high quality with saturated ink on nice think high GSM card. Prices are very reasonable and reflect the DIY style of printing. These are suited more to being pinned or nailed to yr wall, would be vastly expensive to frame them. Prefer local Sydney sales as I will include home delivery in the price. These are very big for Australia post. Dm for Enquiries ⚡️

writer and performer Jess Knight photographed in Brunswick in 2014. When Jess first found punk; “I was 19 and a guy at uni who used to trash my room, looking for my journal, gave me a few punk compilations. “You’re a weirdo, you will like this” he said. And he was right. That was the only time he was ever right about me.”
