Thanks for stopping by my new blog. I have been a collector of Rock Art for several years now and decided that it would be cool to start blogging about one of my favorite addictions.
The first poster that I ever purchased was an Ames Bros. print from Pearl Jam's August 29 & 20, 2000 show at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA. I had gone to the show and ran across this poster a few years later on Ebay and had to have it. I forgot what I cost, probably around $30-$40, and then I spent another $100+ to have it professionally framed and matted along with my concert stub from the show. Needless to say, it came out great and that was the start of my collection that now contains 30 plus prints. You can check out my collection here. I haven't updated my list in a while so I might be missing a few that I have either bought or sold.
Generally I don't sell any of my posters, I buy them because I like the art and want them hanging on my walls, but in 2006 I bought an Ames Bros. subscription for Pearl Jam's first leg of their 2006-2007 World Wide Tour before I was able to see what the posters looked like. If you are a fan of Pearl Jam and/or the Ames Bros. you know why I put some of those on ebay.
Of my 30 plus posters I have nine of them professionally framed which means they have a frame of my choice, between 1-3 mattes, UV blocking non-reflective Plexiglas, and are put together with non-acid materials that enable the poster to be removed from the frame unscathed.
Some of my favorite artists in no particular order include the following: Ames Bros., Brad Klausen, Daniel Danger, Jay Ryan, Strawberryluna, Jim Pollock, Todd Slater, Invisible Creature, The Decoder Ring, Drowning Creek Studio, Emek, . I'm slightly partial to Klausen and the Ames Bros. because I love Pearl Jam, in addition to the fact that Klausen's stuff rocks along with Ames' older shit... I hope they get their groove back because we all know what they are capable of. Then I can't get enough of Daniel Danger either. He is amazingly talented.
Well, I hope I've still got your attention... stay tuned in order to keep up to date with all of the latest happenings within the poster world.
Guy Burwell has a hot new dig out for My Morning Jacket's performance at the Bonnaroo Festival next month which will be held June 12-15 in Manchester, TN. His work is truly amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on this print. The poster is four colors, 17.5" x 23.5", and has a run of 350. You can pick up the print at Guy's website or while partying at the festival. Make sure you check out his site because all of his work is as hot as this poster.
