John Prine winner of the 2020 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, is known for humorous lyrics about love, life, and current events, as well as serious songs with social commentary.  Prine will bring his country sound and folk revival lyricism to rowdy Amsterdam. I’m celebrating his concert at the legendary Paradiso with a poster tip-o-the-hat to the Roaring Twenties.

I will make a very limited release of this poster – and its variants – on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 at a random time.

Back to making rock posters with a passion! It was a lot of fun to get back in the saddle and produce this rock poster for The Decemberists at the Paradiso Amsterdam for Ideal Posters! Stoked with the result!

I want to welcome a lot of newcomers to my site! I’ll quickly explain how my releases on my website are conducted. The Decemberists poster and it’s variants will be available, right here, in this post on Monday, November 19, 2018 at a random time. A paypal “Buy Now” button will appear under each poster (above) at a random time, and I will announce the price of each poster at the same time. Good luck to everyone, and as always, I am very appreciative of your support!

I had a blast making this “Old School” poster in the 1990’s style. I hand-mixed fluorescent and metallic inks from pigment powder, especially for this poster, so every color in it is a custom formula (and very strong chromatically, haha!). I designed the band names and show information in black bars at the top and bottom of the poster – a technique artists in the 1990’s devised to save time, create maximum impact, readability, and to allow for the inevitable last-minute changes in bill or venue (Consider that most posters were color separated by hand-cutting rubylith films with exacto knives – black bars allowed for faster color preparation). Enjoy this super eye-popping “Old School” Supersuckers poster, turn on your blacklight, and listen to the Evil Powers of Rock’n’Roll!

Kraftwerk is playing it’s entire album catalog in a series of concerts entitled “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 : The Catalog in 3D” on eight consecutive nights from January 16 to January 23, 2015 at the Paradiso, Amsterdam. I created a digitized and pixelated portrait of Dutch artist genius Vincent Van Gogh for Kraftwerk’s electronic concert series at Holland’s legendary Paradiso. If you look closely Van Gogh has been broken into a random sequence of binary code. Even though the subject is geometrically fragmented, his angst is still recognizable through his piercing blue eyes. I felt this pairing of art’s modernist genius with music’s modernist masters to be an evocative commentary on the world’s uneasy progress into the digital age.
