Hatch Show Print

Tonight I went to a talk by Jim Sherraden, who runs the Hatch Show Print shop in Nashville. They make extraordinary concert posters the old-school way: with a that you've all seen (click here to see a video of Hatch, and click here to see examples of their posters). They've done posters for Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis, and Eddie Vedder... really cool stuff. Jim said that he was amazed by the demand for his Eddie Vedder poster: "I think the guy's pretty good, but the day after the concert I had hundreds of fanatics calling up the shop and wanting posters. Only Bob Dylan's fans were crazier." This makes me proud.
