...it's a form of art imho.
when i do nights i have someone doing the posters - drawing them by hand. then i screen print them.
i always get a good response and also imho it's like a mindset to a night. depending on how a poster looks like you aim at a group of people.

second step, also a form of art: putting them up. i do that as a part time job for the local squat. and it's fun. if i get fined by the cops, the squat pays it. meaning: full on!
part of the game is: be quicker than the cops.
it happened a few times that i see them tearing posters down on one end and me putting them up on the same place 1 minute later. so when they finish tearing them down they turn back to go to their car and the look on their face is priceless

anyway. i see the job as a pretty creative one. doing figures and stuff on teh walls.
a friend once wrote with massive letters ''ACID'' on a wall with just posters. gonna try finding that picture.

some examples:

you should see the screen printed poster. it has little shiney particles mixed into the colour. it looks intense!




(svp is a nationalist party in switzerland)

sometimes quantity is fun:




unfortunatly the best examples are on my stolen phone.

bigup to every promoter investing in good artwork!

Just got these 2 made the other day, 2 different artists (friends), same night.







I dig having multiple posters for the same gig, not sure why really.

Almost always give no indication of what I'm after either, full control to the artist.

for me second wins by far.

how are they printed?

Flyers are meant to be done in hand or in microsoft paint imo

This soooo much. A poster/flyer speaks volumes to the kind of night you can expect.

Gonna rant once more about that but where I live all posters/flyers are awful... All about flashy colours b2b workout/muscly guys full of testoterone and an orange skin tone b2b slutty girls with fake boobs

HOLY FUCK! I've got Diego's poster in my studio to be mailed.

Holy shit. What a reminder.

MY BAD DIEGO! Totally lost my mind.

Oh yeah, totally artful, if you're doing anything in spain, talk to Diego.

Oh I know, Diego's got skills no doubt. But that's the thing - from what I saw when I went to Sevilla the music scene seemed much healthier than in Valencia.

Got this one done last week :3

looks like a poster for a good punkrock night haha

Not owned a poster since I was in high school. Had a massive badass Slash (Guns n Roses) poster and loads of other ones i cant remember.

That is dismissible. Never mention it again.

Yeah the ones in Leeds are mostly quiet crap. Just like neon green background and black block caps. I guest its so u can see them from mils away

Also do u use wheat paste to put the up phrex????
