For the longest time, a single last name has been associated with the notion of “The Dylan Poster”: Glaser. Well, Glaser, meet your future competition: The Leibows. 4-year-old Tommy and 6-year-old Lindsay with art direction by their dad Justin Leibow — who, by day, art directs type and imagery for motion at the rad Superfad — have created a spectacularly typographic and dingbat-ey poster for their friend Dylan Massin. But not all was fun, games and killer hand-lettering, specially during clean-up time… the proud art director and father explains:

Due to the impatience of the crew and pressure on the squeegee, each poster had differing amounts of ink coverage. As an introduction to screen printing and poster design, this project was perfect for my two kids. They were pretty much engaged throughout the process. Of course, they had nothing to do with the clean up. Based on this experience, they each designed and made another poster the very next weekend. Now, they are giving out these posters to friends and figuring out what their next compositions will be. Mission accomplished.
