Creativity in music doesn\u2019t stop at the tunes themselves; and there\u2019s been a long and happy marriage between musical and visual art. Of course, if you\u2019re Lupe Fiasco you just paint your own album cover<\/a> and proceed to make a foray into the world of fine art. But for those who skipped craft class in favor of practicing guitar at home<\/a>, there\u2019s an array of brilliant Concert Poster and album cover artists out there. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the best Concert Poster.<\/p>\n

Jeff Soto<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This elaborate piece<\/a> is for the band 311 and is by Jeff Soto<\/a>, who has also worked with the likes of Metallica, Primus and Mastodon. Mixing pop surrealism with street art, his work is inspired by \u201cnostalgia, nature and popular culture.\u201d His color palette pops without being tacky, and you should definitely check out his Instagram<\/a> for his work outside of music.<\/p>\n

Dan Mumford<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Dan<\/a><\/p>\n

Iron Maiden <\/a>aren\u2019t known for their rosy image, so the above poster<\/a> by Dan Mumford<\/a> is perfect to get you in the mood for the mosh pit. Mumford\u2019s talent doesn\u2019t stop at concert posters, however. He\u2019s also worked on the Harry Potter film series, several Marvel comics, the Netflix series Bojack Horseman, and even Futurama.<\/p>\n

EMEK<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"EMEK<\/a><\/p>\n

EMEK<\/a> is an artist after my own heart. Not just because of this awesome Tool poster<\/a> you see above, but because of the political posters<\/a> of which there are far too few. EMEK\u2019s portfolio is too extensive to detail here; but if you check the website you will find a handy A to Z list.<\/p>\n

MUNK ONE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Pearl<\/a><\/p>\n

Another artist who prefers his name SCREAMED AT YOU IN ALL CAPS is MUNK ONE<\/a>, who, in addition to being an amazing artist, also has an impeccable fashion sense<\/a>. Maybe the all caps is due to the fact that he\u2019s also an accomplished political artist; whose portfolio includes the iconic Obama 2008 poster. This Pearl Jam poster<\/a> is pretty dope, too.<\/p>\n

Zeb Love<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Zeb<\/a><\/p>\n

Zeb Love<\/a> doesn\u2019t have time for pleasantries, which is why his bio is two sentences long. He\u2019s an artist and printmaker, and that\u2019s all you need to know<\/a>. Oh, and he\u2019s designed posters and album art for The Grateful Dead; Primus, Pixies (above), Metallica, Blink 182, Phish, Fall Out Boy, and the list goes on. Zeb lets his art speak for itself, and that\u2019s good enough for his clients.<\/p>\n

Brad Klausen<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another Pearl Jam design<\/a> (that band has great taste in art) included here is by Brad Klausen<\/a> from Artillery Design – a design company so confident in their designs that their website hasn\u2019t been re-designed since the birth of the Internet. Brad\u2019s amazing designs would not at all be out of place as stained glass windows in a futuristic cyberpunk church.<\/p>\n

Jim Phillips<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Jim<\/a><\/p>\n

I take back what I said about Artillery Design\u2019s website. Jim Phillips<\/a>\u2019 website has such a basic design that I think he\u2019s making some kind of statement – and that statement is that his work has landed him a well-deserved place in the Skateboard Hall of Fame. The rock poster<\/a> above is coincidentally also the cover of one of his three books covering his work in rock, surfing and skateboarding.<\/p>\n

Rex Ray<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Rex<\/a><\/p>\n

Rex Ray<\/a> doesn\u2019t seem to lack ideas. If you make music, Rex has an idea for your poster. The above Pixies poster<\/a> is just one of many, many, many posters the artist has done for an eclectic range of acts like The Cure, Tom Jones, Kanye West, Linkin Park, Beck, David Bowie, Prince, Rolling Stones, Radio Head, Pink Floyd and probably even bands that don\u2019t exist yet.<\/p>\n

Jermaine Rogers\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Jermaine<\/a><\/p>\n

Jermaine Rogers<\/a> likes to mix the cute with the frightening, and although I really liked his Pearl Jam poster<\/a>, I resisted the urge to include another one of theirs – the above art is commissioned by Deftones. Jermaine\u2019s clients also include David Bowie, Foo Fighters, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, Primus, and Ween.<\/p>\n
