SHOW POSTERS ON SALE NOW!

After a bit of going back and forth, we have finally gotten the much-anticipated show posters up in the THRIFTSTORE! Although this epic project took quite a bit of logistical work, it was well worth it. As you scroll down to the bottom of this article, you will notice as you read that a good number of the artists signed their posters. Unfortunately, due to distance and in one case a standard operating procedure, we were not able all to get all of the posters signed. We hope you like them as much as we do.

Here’s a little about the Artists:

Michael Lachowski: Michael is the bass player for PYLON, as well as an accomplished artist, designer and much more. Learn more about Michael’s art at www.michaellachowski.com

Scott Sosebee: New York (via Athens) designer and awesome drummer Scott Sosebee designed a poster featuring special guests NOW IT’S OVERHEAD (his former bandmates in LITTLE RED ROCKET). Scott has also designed some of the best looking R.E.M. FANCLUB newsletters we have ever had. Visit Scott’s site at www.scottsosebee.com/

Bruce Licher: Based in Sedona, Arizona, Bruce runs Licher Art & Design (Formerly Independent Project Press). Bruce has designed and printed countless FANCLUB holiday packages. Bruce is also the driving force behind the bands SAVAGE REPUBLIC and SCENIC.

The Heads Of State: In our opinion, Seattle and Philly based duo Heads of State have designed some of the best show posters in the world. We saw their work for WILCO and we knew we had to hire them. You can look at a whole host of their work at www.theheadsofstate.com/

HOUSTON: Massive conglomerate HOUSTON is based in San Francisco. HOUSTON designed one of the posters for the AROUND THE SUN special package (knifr in the water). HOUSTON does not sign posters because it is a corporation and there are no individuals in corporations. Try and learn more at www.wehaveaproblem.com/t

Stephanie Dotson: Stephanie lives in Athens and teaches art at the University of Georgia. She has won numerous awards that we won’t mention here, but we were lucky to get to work with her. See more of her work at www.stephaniedotson.com/

Chris Bilheimer: Chris has worked for R.E.M. for 11 years. He is also a DJ and good office mate.
