Posters worth more than tweets.

Let’s take a moment and wonder if a tweet announcing a show will ever be worth money in a few years. Not to be hating on technology, but while the functionality of the gig poster has been diminished recently, the art form can not be let to die. Hear that millennials? To borrow a phrase from an ad campaign for an 80s music television station, say it loud say it proud, ‘I want my gig posters.’

This Pearl Jam gig poster for a Milwaukee show in 2014 was created by Ben Frost. Given a limited run of just 100, it is a rare find on the world wide wide. If you track one down for sale be sure to share.

Ben Frost is an Australian born artist who enjoys mashing up pop art to create fresh with familiar imagery. To view other work by the artist, click over to benfrostisdead.com, which isn’t nearly a gruesome as it sounds.
