My interest in gig posters began as a music fan.  Through the years I have gone to “lots” of shows, too many to count.  When I could, and when they were available I bought a poster.  Before I knew it I was a poster collector.  After almost two decades of collecting I started getting interested in making posters.  Funny, all those posters I have collected over the years are like reference material to me now.  For years I collected in a vacuum, nobody knew I collected and I really didn’t know anyone who collected.  Through the internet that has changed.  I have forged real life friendships with collectors all over the world.  When I headed to the GD50 shows in Chicago I printed up a little something to give to my collector friends.

The print is rather small (approximately 8.5 inch square).  Hand printed on French Medero Beach Speckletone paper (80 lb), which were actually scrap cutoffs from another project, as was the small block of linoleum.  The entire 30ish piece edition was cut and printed while my 7 year old read and “Ant Man” book aloud.
