Message from Dan

Hello, my name is Dan Kuhlken, co-founder of DKNG Studios. On April 14th I’ll be speaking about my company’s history and body of work. Primarily known for our gig poster designs, DKNG has been creating artwork for the entertainment industry and clients like HBO, The Black Keys, and Phish for more than five years. I plan to go into detail about DKNG’s creative process including concept development, illustration and design, running a studio, and trade secrets for future poster artists.
