    I think the issue is Tsurt has used all local artists this time, apart from Ames and Kevin Tong (who is an established Alternative Movie Poster artist) who unsurprisingly had the two best posters. Hardly any of these have done concert posters before. For me the solution is simple, just go back to using mainly established poster artists. You can see it works from last year. Australia and NZ had the best posters and they had a higher number of established poster artists (Ken Taylor, Ben Brown, Rhys Cooper, Bella Grace, Travis Price etc). It also impacted the Euro tour posters last year as well. Apart from London and Dublin, mainly local artists were used.
    While Francesco Francavilla does live in Atlanta it’s extremely reductive to call him a “local artist”, he’s done a ton of movie stuff and his day job is comic books and covers.

    Would be a must have if it had the Malachi Crunch. Maybe save that idea for the next show in Milwaukee (if there is one).

    This has gotta be the worst run of your posters potentially ever. But when the merch guys are making tokens for 25 cents and selling them out (almost immediately) at $5 a pop, I doubt the band cares.
    I think the issue is Tsurt has used all local artists this time, apart from Ames and Kevin Tong (who is an established Alternative Movie Poster artist) who unsurprisingly had the two best posters. Hardly any of these have done concert posters before. For me the solution is simple, just go back to using mainly established poster artists. You can see it works from last year. Australia and NZ had the best posters and they had a higher number of established poster artists (Ken Taylor, Ben Brown, Rhys Cooper, Bella Grace, Travis Price etc). It also impacted the Euro tour posters last year as well. Apart from London and Dublin, mainly local artists were used.
    While Francesco Francavilla does live in Atlanta it’s extremely reductive to call him a “local artist”, he’s done a ton of movie stuff and his day job is comic books and covers.
    Agree, sorry I had forgotten about him. Yes he is well known in the AMP world. 

    I’m not saying it’s bad to use local artists, just much more hit and miss than using established ones who have been there many times before and know what works and doesn’t work on a concert poster

    I actually think the poster is cool. Although I do agree it’s a bit lazy reusing an image especially for a city with such a rich music history to pull inspiration from. Nonetheless, I still think it’s a cool image.
