Creative Bloq

I was flattered to learn that the noteworthy Creative Bloq website included one of my designs in it's list of "10 inspiring gig posters for 2012". The list includes great artists like Frida Clements and Kevin Tong. My recent My Morning Jacket poster is highlighted in the article. It was cool to see another designer's poster that I have in my personal collection on the list. Frida Clement's beautiful Andrew Bird poster. I new it was a good one Frida!

My Morning Jacket + Band Of Horses Poster

I recently had the pleasure of working with My Morning Jacket and their related parties on a poster for their show in Charlotte, NC. I was excited to work on this because A: I love My Morning Jacket B: I love opening act Band Of Horses and C: I used to live in North Carolina! I drew on my experiences in the southern swamps and MMJ's most recent album Circuital for inspiration when creating this poster. It is currently available in my on-line store at www.benwilsonart.com. More details are below.

Poster Party 2012

Last week was the second installment of Poster Party which looks to be building into an annual event. The image below is the poster I created for the 2012 event. It is titled Love At First Bike and is printed on 100% recycled Green Tea Matte Paper. A portion of the proceeds from the event benefited the Treaure Valley YMCA. I'd like to thank Stodstrum for putting on another fine event for our community. A big thanks to all the patrons who purchased posters in support of Treasure Valley YMCA and local art.
