The new book by Mitch Putnam OMG Posters: A Decade of Rock Art, focused its attention on the world of concert posters. He started his website about limited-edition art back in 2007 and it remains a daily destination for “poster nerds, film buffs, art directors, record fondlers, illustration fanatics, comic fanboys, design purists…” according to artist Aaron Horkey for Rolling Stone.

In the book’s foreword, graphic designer Olly Moss writes that posters remain his “best-loved form of design,” since they are a “test of everything: color, composition, communication, typography and draftsmanship.” The collection in the book includes gorgeous work by some of the world’s most talented illustrators and designers – including Olly Moss, Ken Taylor, Dan Grzeca, Richey Beckett and many others – many of them sold to commemorate a one-night event.
