A ton more that I couldn't find on Gig Posters.

I have some of those. The ladytron one that I have has a signed dollar bill from all of them when I met them at Popscene a couple weeks after that show.

I kind of want to start a collection. Where should i start? i know i should get some in concerts i go to in the future but where else? I am thinking of going to Amoeba in hollywood do they have a good selection?

[JustSteve]

for limited stuff it is either at the show or on the artists website usually...then you have the scalpers on ebay...expressobeans has classifieds, too.

[cansei de ser sexme]

how about for just some legit stuff. doesnt have to be limited, just awesome

[whynotsmile99]

damn those are some beautiful pieces of art. Honestly, i never seem to see posters as nice as these at the shows I go to. I'd love to get posters for a specific show I went to, but really haven't seen many. I have a ton of random band/movie posters but nothing like this.

Closest thing I have (and will be framing) is Radiohead's limited poster from this tour and limited Flogging Molly poster when Within a Mile of Home came out. Cool poster, but again, nothing like the ones above

Start here - buy something from AA - those guys are mad respected and have an amazing style that stretches across many cool artists. Their posters sell for only $20 and sell out at a steady rate but nothing crazy like the Burlesque releases. Did I mention they are purdy?

Then check out some stuff from Patent Pending, which is basically 2 guys that used to run the art side of all things Sub Pop. They are still based in Seattle and still do amazing work. they start their posters at $20 also, but they (like other designers) mark their posters up as the become more scarce.

Then expand by choosing another design house or two (I mentioned a few before), basically - find out what look you like and then buy what music you dig, you won't go wrong. Here are some of my personal picks to get you started.

I posted on gigposters.com forum when I first began, looking for tips. they told me to spend my money on drugs and hookers instead.

First off, don't buy stuff you don't like unless it's something you can sell later for a profit (Pearl Jam, Arcade Fire etc). Then there is the ethical question of selling these posters for profit later.

I personally like Guy Burwells work. www.guyburwell.com He did the two MMJ posters I linked in my first post in this thread.

[cansei de ser sexme]

I just went to amoeba and got these...







then i framed 'em and put 'em in my room. they look so nice

[suprefan]

Where is the Justice one from? And did they have more than one

[cansei de ser sexme]

justice at the mayan theater

cat power at the fillmore

animal collective at the music box

[suprefan]

You are kidding me, never knew they made one, was there more than one

[cansei de ser sexme]

yeah i got it at amoeba under various. the cat power one was the only one that was out. They had at least one more justice one cause they didnt give me the one on display. I found it by the stairs if you care to look. $20

[cansei de ser sexme]

Nice pink room. How much do these posters usually cost?

[suprefan]

Well if you are at the show and you are getting one, it depends but averag woudl be $15, more of course if its printed on good paper and limited to a small amount of prints.
