Is that the crystal ball? Can I ask how you acquired the poster? Because I don't think it was for sale at the show, or was it? It's not an Ames, so I don't think it was officially sanctioned by the band.

I can't narrow it down to 5. It's impossible.

This is my all time favorite:

Christchurch 2009. I was at the show, the trip was a big deal for me, but I don't think that plays a role in my appreciation of this. I just really like the artwork and the thought that went into it and the design. I've actually got 2, one from the show and one from the 10c sale. I'd have the AP too if I were quicker as someone just sold one on here at a very good price.

The rest are in some semblance of an order of importance, most to least:

Was at show. Fell in love with poster and bought it at 10C sale. First poster I ever bought.


This artwork resonates with me. I wasn't at the show, and in fact first saw this on the shirt not the poster (I was at one of the shows on the shirt). I had felt the Iraq war very deeply, and with GW on his way out by the time I saw this, it was still just such a striking message that I had to buy it. First PJ T shirt I bought, at the first PJ show I attended. Even though my story with this image is about the shirt, I'm including it because the poster is the same image. I do not own the poster.


Was at show. Love artwork - loved show experience, completely unforgettable. Do not have poster, too expensive now, too hard to get at the show.


This one is sort of weird and hard to explain. The main buildings in here (empire state, chrysler, UN, Smoke Stacks, that black one - that's basically what you'd see staring straight from the roof of my building. Like, the manhattan skyline gets "done" all the time in like photos and movies and tv and stuff, but I dunno I guess cuz this is like the most familiar part of it to me since that's what I spend my whole life next to - plus he does get bonus points for including the smoke stacks cuz even though they are in queens they are in front of the skyline. Was at show. Not a huge fan of Pendleton's other work. I've actually tried to get a couple pix to explain myself on here but it never works out.


Was not at show. Love artwork. Have poster.


Was not at show. Love artwork. Mad Max Koalas! Too badass not to buy. Have poster.


Was at show. Creeped out by poster at first then it grew on me. Do not own.


Was not at show. MUST HAVE THIS POSTER. Toucans are the shizz.


Was not at show. Love artwork, colors. Do not have one. WAAAAAAAAAAANT.


This one is just pretty.

I as well did not like the Mexico wrestling poster. I only get posters from shows I attend (or I would be bankrupt). Here are my top 5 (from my collection):

That's a good one! I don't otherwise buy posters from shows I didn't attend, but I did buy this one - I was in London in 2010, figured that was close enough! Got it from a scratch and dent sale for 20 bucks, so awesome. Still haven't found the imperfection.

Yep, that was the one. I'm remembering it as being for sale at the show. Although now you have me second-guessing myself. It seems so long ago.

This type of art, this way of painting is called "filete". Tomorrow the UNESCO decides if this type of art should be preserved as patrimony of all mankind.

I enjoy Brad Klausen's work, any of his poster that represents songs (SLC 2009, Hamilton 2011, Worcester 2013, LA 2013, and Memphis 2014)

Thanks for sharing, I've just Googled it a bit. Seems cool! It's definitely one of the things I love about Klausen's work, he really gets these cultural things into the artwork in a very natural way. Love it.

Just a heads up, UNESCO awarded "el filete" as patrimony of all mankind.

If you feel like it, you can search for Buenos Aires 2011 show threads I posted a lot about this, probably you might have seen it already but it's worth checking, but it's a lot of search
