Clark (also spelled Clarque or Clarq) Blomquist of Carrboro, N.C., is a poster artist and musician in the band the Kingsbury Manx. The Kingsbury Manx also includes Paul Finn, Ryan Richardson, and Bill Taylor; Kenneth Stephenson and Scott Myers are past members. Clark Blomquist also collaborates with his wife, Caroline Blomquist, in the band Waumiss.

The collection consists of promotional concert posters and flyers designed by Clark Blomquist and commercial audio recordings of Clark Blomquist's musical projects. The posters and flyers chiefly advertise performances by the Kingsbury Manx, Waumiss, and other Chapel Hill, N.C., area bands, including Inspector 22, Schooner, Shallow Be Thy Name, Triple Ts, and others. Venues are primarily in the Chapel Hill area, but also include a few locations in and around Tampa, Fla., with one poster promoting a Kingsbury Manx show in New York City, N.Y. A few events were sponsored by Chapel Hill record label Odessa Records. The audio recordings are by the Kingsbury Manx, Waumiss, and Crankshaft.

The posters and flyers depict cats, children, and other subjects. They were produced using silk-screen, ink drawing, collage, and photography. Most flyers and smaller posters are photocopied reproductions, sometimes embellished with crayon, marker, or paint.
