Like the ghosts of forgotten family members, lost loves, or bygone eras, this week’s poster haunts us in a way that cannot be ignored…

I’m a sucker for vintage ephemera. Especially that of the printed kind–be they old magazines, brochures, catalogs, or hand-bills, etc. I just adore admiring vintage styles and studying the aesthetic of yesteryear and by-gone eras, and it’s nice to see what has persevered over the passage of time. Not only…

Hey gang. It’s been a busy last couple weeks in the art department–thanks to editor Freedman for jumping in last week in my stead. Now I’m happy to return this week with quite the specimen for our weekly selection.Brought to us by the multi-talented Andrew Shepherd (for whom you know…

Let me start by saying thanks for all your submissions so far this year. Some of you out there are doing pretty well about submitting your posters well in advance–it’s nice to have several pieces to choose from every week. There are some really nice posters that have already been…

So I had to fire up the old time machine (no, not a hot tub; like Dr. Emmett L. Brown, I prefer my time travel with a little more style…) for this week’s selection. Wasn’t a long trip, though. Just a hop, skip and a couple of days ago. This…

Feast your eyes, flesh and teeth on this week’s gig poster selection. Submitted by John Iskander over at Parade of Flesh, this poster was beautifully created by Sam Heimer of Philadelphia (where it’s always sunny, or so I’ve heard, contrary to the look of his posters).After the jump, my reasoning…

Argh, mateys! This week’s submitted winner was created by the folks of the Denton group Constant Seas, via another Denton band on the bill, The Bizarro Kids. According to Jonathan Biggs of The Bizarro Kids, “the band Constant Seas created this flyer for our show with them, us, and Shake…

So, yes, you’re right, this week’s selection is for a gig that happened last night. So be it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t submitted until just a couple of days ago, but I simply couldn’t ignore it because it’s frankly one of the best posters I’ve seen submitted to our weekly fandango.Besides,…

Maybe I’m still high on the release of the new TRON Legacy trailer earlier this week, but our Poster Of The Week definitely conjures images of Light Cycles and Recognizers in my head…

Welcome back, troopers. It’s that time of the week again to present our selection for the Poster Of The Week. Let’s see how many of you agree/disagree this time around, shall we? Anyway, on to this week’s winner…It seems that Gutterth Productions attracts a lot of graphically-inclined talent (whether it’s…

Well, it’s great to see people answering the DC9 Admiral’s call to arms last week; we got the most submissions I’ve seen in weeks! We see a lot of cool artwork out there, but if you don’t actually submit it to our little weekly pageant, then it wouldn’t be fair…

It’s been a mostly soggy and groggy week since our last winning POTW announcement. Just look outside: It’s beautiful. I’ll admit, I’m pretty fond of these dreary days, that’s just my style (I could do without the wetness, but hey, I take them as they come). This week’s poster selection…

It’s that time of the week again. Time to sift through poster submissions from all over DFW and make a choice based not on musical merit of the bands, venue preference, production company, but solely on the design and aesthetic distinction (let’s not forget this folks). You can see past…

Alright team, let’s huddle: I know I’ve been away for a little while, but I’m back, and ready to make this week’s pick for DC9’s Poster of the Week. So let’s not waste any time, OK? Ready… BREAK!That’s about as sporty as I can get, folks–and it’s quite the antithesis…

Ho ho ho-ly frijole! What devil am I looking at? It’s the poster of the week… Or is it?Well, if you take a photo of this very meticulously crafted three-dimensional installation on plywood and print it out, then, just like a Christmas miracle, it becomes quite the visually curious gig…

Talk about apropos. This week’s selection is not only for Gutterth Production’s release show for its Compilation Two sampler disc, but it also heralds another collection of local fine art of the printed variety.Created by Nick Weber (typography) and Michael Little and Taylor McClure (illustration), all of the Denton-based design…

‘Tis the season! Just look around you, we’re all sufficiently waist-deep in the trite tidings of holiday decor and decorum, as it all started about two days before Halloween. It can all be a bit taxing on the eyes and ears, especially when speaking of all the Christmastime cliches parading…

If any of you out there are awake and recovering from tryptophan-fueled post-pig-out regrets or the early-morning Black Friday brouhaha, take a look at this week’s serene selection. Brought to you by Kennon Talley of This Old House (and Western Giants), this poster might be the very necessary calm after…

Over the last decade or so, a prominent trend in gig poster design has been the retro-modern, minimalist approach, as seen attached to a lot of indie-rock and post-alternative groups. Classified by modernist tendencies and a focus on basic forms versus details, I’ll admit, as much as I love that…

¡OLÉ!Esta cartel es muy magnifico… er, sorry, I mean, this poster is very magnificent! It’s Chelsea Callahan’s birthday, and with it comes another fabuloso poster for “Cha-Cha’s 6th Annual Rock-n-Roll For Charity Gala.” Designed for the second year in a row by John Vineyard (of the band El Gato, who…
