Swag:Rock Posters of the '90s by Spencer Drate
During the course of the 1990s, artists, musicians and fans began to re-conceive the art of poster making, turning away from the mass-produced products of corporate rock to re-embrace the DIY aesthetic of the punk era. With more than 250 posters by over 50 designers, this book is an introduction to the world of the concert poster art of the 1990s and the cutting-edge music it was created for - from Nirvana and Pearl Jam to Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground.
Spencer Drate, creative director, designer, CD consultant, and author, has created award-winning CD-packaging for many popular recording artists, including Bon Jovi, Lou Reed, U2, The Ramones, The Velvet Underground, Joan Jett, and Talking Heads. He has written several books, received many design awards, and has been interviewed by many leading publications. He lives in New York City. Art Chantry, heralded as one of the kings of graphic design in the rock and punk-rock community, has been producing posters, album covers, ads, logos, and magazine covers since 1978. He has been both the subject and author/illustrator of several books on graphic design and the Seattle punk culture. He lives in St. Louis.
