Explorer’s Club – a 36 inch by 48 inch art poster. It was made as part of the lounge space decor art for the Brainy Bar camp at Burning Man in 2019.

The Brainy Bar 2019 plans called for one of our most ambitious front-of-house builds yet. We not only expanded the space significantly. We also gave it a victorian steampunk theme. Subsequently, that meant retiring our future art theme posters like Aquatica, Cacotopia and Retrocausality. So we had to come up with some new pieces. We were very excited about the Explorer’s Club poster.
We had a couple existing pieces to re-use. For instance, the Reasonably Good Chance Of Survival and Public Service Announcement posters from the Steampunk Airship Outpost build in 2011 were a perfect fit. Our camp has always been something of an explorer’s club. We’ve been playing with steampunk and time travel themes for years. Riffing on the idea of time-traveling airships visiting our steampunk airship outpost and lounge space, Pani came up with teh Explorer’s Club poster. Trilo had little to no involvement in this piece as was busy busy with structure design. This one was all Pani, and totally amazing.
