Journal baby_head_rush's Journal: 100 Posters, 134 Squirrels
Last night my wife and I went to a presentation by Jay Ryan a poster artist. He has a new book out called 100 Posters, 134 Squirrels. He did a slide show of some posters and the process of creating them. He was a really nice guy. He signed my copy of the book that my wife got me as an early Christmas present. I now have 135 squirrels in my book.
I got into posters/rock art in college. A guy I knew printed posters for Derek Hess. He would sell me artist proofs for real cheap since Hess was not a big name back then. My biggest score was a Guided By Voices poster. Hess gave me a free one for delivering the posters to him the day of the show. I got most of the band to sign it (including Bob Pollard).
I now lurk around gigposters.com for new stuff coming out, so I can get a copy before they sell out. I had some artists come and do an interview at the radio station during the CMJ/Rock Hall Fest this last year. You could say I have a problem, but I like these pretty pieces of paper.
Currently looking for this poster. If you find one let me know.
So what do you collect?
