Most concert or show posters go ignored around here, taped or glued to telephone poles and lampposts around the urban environment. Some are vandalized, some are torn down by city workers, and very few people stop to admire them. Some, however, make a huge impact on the viewer and are torn down to stick on a bedroom wall.
Justin Hampton has been designing since 1990. He started off working at Rocket Magazine for famed designers Art Chantry and Jeff Kleinsmith. Now he is one of the most in-demand modern rock poster designers in the industry.
Born in Santa Cruz California, his influences are pop culture based. He has screen printed images for the likes of Bob Dylan, PJ Harvey, Radiohead, Marilyn Manson, Motorhead and Queens Of The Stone Age to name a few. His posters have also appeared in various TV shows and movies. He has created for various magazines, and ad campaigns. He also produces comic books called "Twitch" and "Rat" and has tried his hand at animation in a short named "The Jaded Monk".
His work can be seen on display everywhere from the walls of music lovers to galleries throughout the world. Here are a few posters that grabbed me. If you want to see more, check out his website at www.justinhampton.com
