As any regular Flavorpill reader knows, we love books over here, and we’re also suckers for graphic art. So it shouldn’t surprise you that we got pretty excited this morning when Largehearted Boy pointed us to a great gallery of artwork inspired by 20th century American authors over at Super Precious. The highly graphic, colorful artworks look like some of the coolest posters or t-shirt designs you’ve ever seen, celebrating authors like J.D. Salinger, Charles Bukowski, and Kurt Vonnegut, among other favorites. Click through to see a few of our favorites from the gallery, and then be sure to head over to Super Precious to see the entire set, and to buy prints of any that strike your fancy.
