2003 Justin Hampton Artists Proof Queens of the Stone Age Poster at Twilight in Tampa, Florida

Justin Hampton's love of music and comic book art comes together in this stunning Queens of the Stone Age 2003 show at the Twilight venue in Tampa, Florida.

This poster pays homage to the Daredevil #187 cover from 1982. While copies of that book can be found for under $100, finding an appropriate price point for this signed artist proof is a little harder. Hampton would create a number of Queens of the Stone Age posters inspired by popular comic books and pop culture icons, including Red Sonja and monster movies.

This poster is noted as being in Near Mint 87 with a crease on the bottom right side. This proof is signed and numbered at 22 out of 25. If you're a fan of pop art, don't sleep on this item.

1999 Uncut Artists Proof Poster Featuring Everclear, Soul Coughing, DJ Spooky, and The Black Eyed Peas,  The Electric Factory, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 

1999 was a great year for Everclear. 1997's So Much for the Afterglow - the band's second major studio album - would produce 5 singles including Father of Mine, which got me hooked on the band in 1998. So Much for the Afterglow is still one of the bands best selling albums. Two of the original band members, Craig Montoya and Greg Eklund sadly left the band in 2003. Singer and songwriter Art Alexakis has kept the band going with new members, though a formal studio album has not been released since 2014.

The Black Eyes Peas would find international success in the early 2000s, despite forming in 1995. Fergie, the female vocalist would replaced Kim Hill in 2002, would branch out into a solo career around 2006. The group would go on to take a break, get back together, and in 2018 Fergie left. The Black Eyed Peas are still active today with original members will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo. J. Rey Soul would replace Fergie after her departure.

This is a unique poster as this features two prominent 90s and 2000s bands. On a personal note, this show took place a day before my 13th birthday -- what I would have given to see this lineup! This is a signed, numbered, and uncut artists proof. Designed by David Dean, this poster is noted as being in Near Mint 83 condition though it does have foxing on it. The colors are still bright and vibrant, and this is just a cool piece of late 90s music history.

2004 EMEK The SWAG Rock Posters of the 1990s Exhibition at CB's 313 Gallery in New York City, New York

EMEK is a name that pop up often in the modern poster world. We've seen his work pop up for all kinds of bands and festivals, including Coachella, Pearl Jam, Metallica, and the Wu-Tang Clan. EMEK's modern art is simply amazing, and almost always does well when his pieces come up for auction.

This piece in particular was for a gallery show at CB's 313 in 2004, featuring multiple modern artists including Coop and Justin Hampton. This signed and numbered poster is clearly inspired by the Coppertone mascots, but with a fun twist. This poster is in excellent 77 condition, with crunches and creases on it.
