A while back I began to notice that poster art is making a comeback here in Minnesota. When going to my favorite record stores, I would notice certain upcoming shows flyers standing out from the rest. I began to collect them, and was amazed as to how good they look hanging in a nice frame. I started to look into the whole culture, and was amazed at some of the artwork that has gone into these posters. Artists like Coop and Tara McPherson got their start doing poster art, and now they are world renowned. I feel their is nothing like looking forward to a good show, and then seeing one of these prints that you are able to nab to hang on your wall. I have even found myself at a show of a band I have not really heard that much about, just because the poster for it was that good. I recently came across the book The Art of Modern Rock, and asked for it for Christmas. I got the book and it is incredible. If you are looking for a great book to relive all the concerts you wished you had go to, this is the one. You can check it out here at http://www.artofmodernrock.com/ I uploaded a poster of one of my favorite local artists; it was one of those shows I did not know much about, but went anyways. If you have any web sites or pictures of similar posters, I would love to see them.
