Derek Hess

Derek Hess is an artist primarily known for his modern day rock poster art that I discovered in the early nineties living in Dallas. I was trolling through the hipster records stores of Deep Ellum when I stumbled upon a limited print of this White Zombie/Ramones concert poster. What caught my attention was just how cool the art was.

EMEK

I heard of the artist EMEK while watching Last Call with Carson Daly. I was amazed at his art work. I also thought it was quite serendipitous that we share the exact same taste in music. My immediate reaction was "I must have this." I attempted to buy some of his art but it is currently all sold out. I joined his mailing list hoping to have a chance to buy some of his art.

You can check him out at http://emek.net/index.php "The Thinking Man's Poster Art"

He also has published a book of his work entitled EMEK: The Thinking Man's Poster Artist: Collected Works of Aaarght! [Hardcover] available on Amazon.com.
