I’ve never really thought of gig posters as being that necessary for a show. Then, when I went and saw Porcupine Tree with Robert Fripp (King Crimson) opening, I received a poster that was made specifically for that show. Now autographed by Porcupine Tree (twice) and framed on my wall, that poster is a reminder of how amazing visual art can be as an accompaniment to music.
Gomediazine has come up with 100 of these posters from the last five years and, wow, some of them are absolutely amazing! I’ve snagged a few for you to check out in this article, but you should definitely click the link at the bottom and see the rest.
