We have 5 more waiting to be framed.

When I look at a potential new home I have to find potential spots where I can display them, that's a deal breaker.

Ana: What a nice collection! Shows you can collect in a variety of ways -- by artist, band, color scheme, size...or just frame them all in the same style. Very inspiring!

The Bird Machine aka Jay Ryan. I have several of his posters that are currently awaiting a frame. I love his hand-written type and often humourous illustrations.

I second The Bird Machine. Jay Ryan's stuff is fantastic.

aesthetic apparatus is great. their doom series is especially fun. also check out methane studios.
but how many concert posters is too many?

I don't think there is such a thing as too many...but you might be talking to the wrong person.

Mine are all of one band, but now that I've started there is no stopping, I can't just skip a show...go back now while you still can!

I love <A href="http://www.eljefedesign.com/flash/index.html">El Jefe Designs. Jeffrey Everett does great posters for shows in the Washington D.C. area. I have two of his prints, one from a Dinosaur Jr. show and one from a Dirtbombs show (that's signed by the lead singer of the band); they're hanging above the desks in my office area in clip frames, with other framed works around 'em. If you're 'round the way, he'll be at Crafty Bastards in Adams Morgan later this month.

Re: bprophs' question. I find concert posters really tempting; when I picked up the aforementioned Dinosaur Jr. one, I looked at other work from El Jefe, and found several that I liked. However, I'm holding myself to a rule: only get posters from shows that I've attended. It's a little geeky, but I like being able to frame the poster with the ticket stub. I also don't go to a lot of shows, so I really like being able to remember the especially awesome ones that I go to.
I also like Ana's approach, with collecting everything from one band. I'm curious to hear how others approach this.

i love Jay Ryan's stuff, it's what got me into poster art in the first place. I have one if his in the hallway and a few more in tubes awaiting frames.

Has the pleasure to learn from his teacher this past week up at the Screwball Press in chicago.

Good stuff over at the spike press as well

and another one i can't remember that was down in alabama or somewhere in the south. They were at the HOW conference.

just wanted to add that I only have posters of shows I attended, it puts some control on the collection.

oohhhh flatstock. The real reason i've brave the short-shorted hipsters at the Pitchfork festival the past 3 summers. I geeked-out this summer and brought a big plastic poster tube because of the rain. (apologies if any of you were there and got whacked with it during a show!)

I have a pretty nice collection now of mainly the non-concert posters that I finally framed - thanks to a recent trip to the frame department at IKEA.

sizetoosmall -
me too! the only reason i bought pitchfork tickets was to get into flatstock. although i enjoyed some music too.
valhalla studios had great customer service, were super nice, and the only booth that offered tubes with purchase.
it was my first time. i did end up spending all my cash. what can i say, i've been addicted ever since my first (online) poster purchase.

thank you for featuring us in such an amazing post. We're big fans of this blog, so we were glad to find ourselves on it :)
Aside from being a participant in it, Flatstock really is one of the most amazing things. There is really something for everyone. So many different styles and so many different bands.

I have a Jay Ryan too. You can see it here.

It's in the after picture of the office. I love his colors and all the critters he creates! Rock poster collectors - rock on!
