I've recently gotten really into poster art letely so I'm pretty excited about this exhibit. I was hoping for Guy Burwell (still pissed they were sold out of the 2009 phish poster) or Emek but the artists they have listed look pretty good.
Methane Studios: Two man studio that does a lot of posters for Dave Matthews Band, as wells as others like Blitzen trapper, Iron and Wine, Phish
lil' Tuffy: known for his minimalist style, created posters for artists like The Black Lips and Pavement.
Furturtle: Created posters for MMJ, the black angels, Mogwai, of montreal, etc.
Status Serigraph: A one man studio created graphic art for bands like Phish, The Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket, Ween, The Black Keys, and festivals like Bonnaroo, moogfest, and Outside Lands. This is the guy responsible for the AC entertainment logo and letterhead.
Powerhouse Studios: Graphic design studio that does a lot of design work for corporations as well as some poster art for artists like Girl Talk, Bassnectar, Cold War Kids, and Grace Potter
Boss Construction: is a one man design, illustration & screen print show, based in Nashville, Tennessee that has done art for Cold War Kids, Justin townes earl, Gril Talk, and Mumford and Sons.
Pretty sure Arcade Fire/Black Keys/ MMJ might all have show specific posters.
Yea the headliner acts usually have their own posters, and then there's usually one or two for the festival as a whole right? I'm hoping the Black Keys have a sick poster exclusive to their Bonnaroo show.
Also, I'm glad Emek doesn't do the Roo poster, it always ends up costing like 100$ for one of his posters. It's a rip.
I just like Emek's art. I've never actually bought one of his posters so I wouldn't know. Burwell on the other hand is probably my favorite poster artist, so I wish he was there.

Well Black Keys, Arcade Fire,MMJ have had show specific posters at their shows for awhile now. I picked up these last year when I saw each band,
I can also tell you that Guy Burwell will be doing a poster for one of the headliners, and POSSIBLY a poster for one of the smaller acts. I think Methane Studios is doing a Bonnaroo Event Poster this year

yeah go right to the merch. tent as soon as the gates open. Burwell was there last year and wasnt advertised so ya never know. E-mail him I bet he can find a Phish 09 Bonnaroo in his studio. You'd be shocked how many artists always have some AP's laying around. Check out expressobeans.com the best poster site avaliable. Also omgposters.com has info on all new poster releases. And Yoderoo I'll sell ya one of my extra phish posters for 200.00.

Just saw this hidden at the bottom of your post. How'd you find this out?
I need to buy a Memphis in May poster once I am back from Bonnaroo. This year at bonnaroo, I hope to pick up posters for Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Robert Plant, The Decemberists, Iron and Wine, and maybe Mumford and Sons and the Black Keys, as well as atleast one cool looking Bonnaroo Event Poster.

Hope Burwell does the Black Keys poster...
Edit: cept the black keys aren't a headliner
He told me so, back in February. He didn't disclose which headliner it would be, or which "smaller" act it might be though.
I think Arcade Fire is a lock, and I can't wait to see it. For the other "smaller" act, MMJ, Robert Plant, or the Black Keys, any of them would be awesome.
I am bringing $150 to spend on posters, and may end up spending more than that, lol

well i believe I paid 40.00. So are you ripping just me or any one thats sells art prints? I'm sure Mr. Burwell enjoys the fact his posters have risen in value in the secondary market.

I'm ripping you trying to sell something with a 160.00 markup on a festival message board. That money would be going to straight into your pocket, not Guy's.
well it is the going rate. dont have to be so pissy about it. sorry if I offended you.
How much did you pay for it, like 30?
That is pretty much what they go for on ebay. I don't think I'll ever pay that much for a poster but I was trying to be nice about it. The fact that he has EXTRA's pisses me off. If its a signed and numbered poster they shouldn't let anyone purchase more than one. Otherwise cocksuckers will buy like 5 at a time then put them up on ebay for like 5 or 6 times what the artist charged.

well NoD I respect your view. All I did was offer up a poster after Yoderoo mentioned it. All artists hope their art increases in value. If not artists like Burwell, Emek, Stout or Mr. Brainwash wouldn't be as popular or sought after to do prints for festivals or groups. Artists hope every release sells out and goes right to ebay. They know it and have no problem with it. It only makes the next prints more desirable. Should the guy who just sold the Picasso for 22 million give the money to Picasso's living relatives?

Did you purchase more then one with the intention of selling one or more for profit? Why do you have extra's?
If everybody purchases one poster a peice for their personal enjoyment and then after time decides to sell them on ebay and the price goes up thats one thing. The artist got his fair shake and the value of the art naturally increased.
If people purchase 3 or 4 at a time with the intention of re-selling them at a rediculous markup thats quite another. And also a real asshole move if i might add.

Well I purchase for my own collection, to sell or trade depending on poster. I bought 2 Burwells, I have one framed and the other for sale or trade. I have over 40 phish posters. Im a big fan and love to collect em. Sometimes phish collecters only want to trade so money doesn't matter. I also collect Tarantino posters. So if I can make some extra money on my hobby I see nothing wrong. I blew like 480. on posters last month. Its like a disease. I did pick up 7 new Tarantino prints from various movies though. The price of framing for posters is a killer though. NoD and Yoderoo I respect you guys and would love to buy u guys a couple beers at the Brewers tent. I'd love to talk some posters. Sorry to be a jerkstore.

No worries man I never had an issue with you. If I could make a little money off a hobby I would (and do ;D). You weren't trying to charge anything unreasonable from what I've seen on ebay, and it sounds like you genuinely appreciate posters and graphic art and enjoy collecting/trading so I've got no qualms witht the fact that you got multiple copies.
I don't think people like it when you use inforoo to sell tickets, merch, etc. so take it with a grain of salt.

I'm cool with buying an extra poster for trade purposes, but it's the markup that kills me. This argument won't really go anywhere though so I'll stop.
Post by mrmonotone on May 11, 2011 21:12:18 GMT -5
It's all good but I still would like to finish it over a beer on Thursday. I wasn't thinking when I posted about selling the poster. I guess I'm just used to talking about prints and prices and forgot I'm not in a poster forum. But do check out the sites I listed if you like posters. Great info and cool people there. Next up AP of Hobo with a Shotgun by Jeff Proctor. Sorry I could go off all nite about posters.
Post by mrmonotone on May 11, 2011 22:33:31 GMT -5
I'm thinking a Bonnaroo artist poster, the Black Keys, MMJ, The Decemberists, AF and Panic. It's cool too when the artists are there. You can meet em and they hand doodle art and stuff on the border of your posters if you like. I've meet Pollock and Burwell the last 2 years. Love to shop at the art exhibit. Kinda like going to the record store.
I have a set of 3 phish posters from their 97 tour of Europe. Amsterdam, London, and Paris. These were my first purchases and the poster fever was caught. My girlfriend wishes I never would have started collecting. Actially she doesnt really like anything I do.
