If you are a poster fanatic like I am then you will certainly appreciate the huge archive of dropdead gorgeous prints created for some of the better bands out on tour by the silkscreening studio Status Serigraph. The prints are extremely reasonably priced too and the designs skills represented are obviously top shelf all the way.

John Vogl is a crazy talented local illustrator based right here in Denver, CO. He has somehow slipped my attention but I recently stumbled across his work and was incredibly impressed by his poster art. He’s got some absolutely fantastic posters for sale at both his Etsy Shop and his Big Cartel store.

Flora Fauna World’s work has been at the center of a few hotbutton creative disputes in the past but despite all of that they still continue to crank out some sincerely kick ass gig posters for some great bands. They have been busy lately and their site has seen a recent update of some excellent new poster work.

Portuguese illustrator/designer Bráulio Amado’s influences are all over the map. He takes an energetic, humerous and eclectic approach to his work that makes for an interesting portfolio browse. I didn’t see comic sans used anywhere though.

Poster designer and illustrator Tyler Stout has still been cranking out the goods lately. I would kill for a copy of his ‘The Thing’ poster. I recently saw a copy of it hanging in the bedroom of Robin Williams character in ‘World’s Greatest Dad’. His recent poster for the Black Keys looks pretty sweet and will no doubt sell out like the rest.

Philly-based design studio/poster-making shop Heads of State have updated both their website and portfolio with new work. The site is exactly what it needs to be as well letting the work speak loud and clear for the studio.

New Orleans based designer Scott Campbell has recently been updating his growing cache of gig posters with some classic new additions. He takes a simple approach that makes for a rather timeless appeal.

Scroll down down down and down to see the primarily music industry related design and art direction work of Jacob Escobedo including a very nice project for Broken Bells.

It’s been a really long time since I have said anything about the Iskra Print Collective but in between then and now they have been busy creating some dead sexy gig posters. I would be more than happy to hang anything from their catalog on my wall.

“Scott Campbell is a graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker, and musician working and living in New Orleans, LA. After spending his early 20′s learning various printmaking techniques at Louisiana State University and Penland School of Crafts, he devoted his time to teaching himself screen printing, recording and playing music all over the country, and working on print projects within the music & entertainment industry.”
You may recognize some of his work as he is also one of the founding members of Chattanooga, TN print collective Young Monster.

Illustrator Santiago Uceda has some very nice hand drawn style screenprinted gig posters in his portfolio that you could be proud to hang on your wall.

Poster artist and graphic designer Dan Stiles is based in Portland, Oregon and has been at it for the last 15 years.
I am just really blown away today by the poster art of Emek. All of it is rich, amazingly conceived and incredibly rendered. It’s hard to think of one person outputting such an amazing body of poster art all by themselves. Truly inspiring. This is definitely ‘poster art’.

I just managed to somehow stumble upon Poster Cabaret this morning and was absolutely amazed at the treasure trove of great design and just beautifully composed posters ranging from art prints to gig posters within their vault. There is so much there I would like to take home that it will be tough to make up my mind. I will definitely be checking back to see what they stock in the future. Good way to decorate your home.
Minneapolis gig poster heroes, Aesthetic Apparatus was commissioned by Jack White to create some posters for his latest music project, The Dead Weather. The end result was yellow, black and sexy. You can pick them up at 40 bucks a pop in the Aesthetic Apparatus online store. You can lean more about The Dead Weather here.

“Young Monster is an art collective based out of Chattanooga, TN, specializing in design and screen-printing.” They have some red hot gig posters in their portfolio. Pure bad ass.

Scott Campbell has an expansive portfolio chalk full of excellent gig-posters. There is some really great use of typography happening in some of his work.
Thank you to my good friend Allen for turning me onto all of the great poster makers out there.
