Pretty Good Posters

Stay-at-Home Dad. Husband. Graphic Designer. Music Promoter. Novice Guitar Player. Dirtyfoot.

And that is the bio of the Flickr account of J. Andersen aka Pretty Good Posters, who is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Stumbling upon his image set while Flickr surfing, I was drawn to his illustration style and thought that it deserved a second look from you guys.  


There was a game for the Sega Genesis that I use to play when I was younger called Toejam and Earl with bizarre and funky alien characters--some of these posters reminded me of that.

New psychadelic art and gig poster designs by Michael Michael Motorcycle

Michael Michael Motorcycle designs probably some of the trippiest screenprints and gig posters, at least around the Los Angeles area.  Equal parts dark, twisted fairy tales and narcotics-inspired color pallets from a lucid dream, Michael has to be one of my favorite artists in this style.  He's worked with a bunch of historic venues and big events in Los Angeles and New York, as well as making gig posters for artists like Sonic Youth, The Mars Volta, Tool and New Found Glory.

Limited edition ATP 10 year Anniversary Poster for The Mars Volta and Modest Mouse available here.

My favorite print of the lot, what is this guy supposed to be?  An olde English clown, or one of those fat gentlemen from olden days who strut around with a cane?
Limited edition poster for Built to Spill available here.

Limited edition 7-color screenprint available here.

Limited edition Widespread Panic poster available here.

Poster for All Tomorrow's Parties 2009 New York available here.

I haven't listened to Tool since middle school, but this poster is pretty rad.

Much of Michael Michael Motorcycle's work looks like a drugged Los Angeles dreamstate, only if it were hopped up with extra distorted glasses and those refractory glasses.  If you can find anything more psychedelic than this, please email us at flyergoodness@gmail.com or submit@flyergoodness.com.

If you've ever seen one of Michael Michael Motorcycle's flyers or posters around Pasadena, you'd be drawn into a trance of how beautifully trippy and radical these complex artpieces are.  Check out more of his wonderful art at his website.

Not sure who's responsible for this crazy eye experience, but it's a flyer done for one of the Technotown Boogiedown events.

I really love how someone was able to fit in all that information rather creatively, its just an example of great planning (or superior layout intuition) that blends in with the image but also yells at you simultaneously.
