Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Flatstock is a dangerous place to be with a credit card. This year, Flatstock 33 (presented by the American Poster Institute) featured over 100 artists with enough completely badass concert posters to drain your checking account dry. No, seriously: five minutes of walking around the Convention Center, and you’ll start to imagine which pieces of furniture you’ll sell later to pay the rent.
The 10 posters below were favorites from the bunch.
All photos by Nick Rallo Designed by The Bird Machine. Owner Jay Ryan: “It’s my job to inform people, and very few people know about the giant sky walrus.”
Me: “I like personfied birds.” Creator Nate Duval: “Well, you came to the right booth.”
