Nels Jacobson Talks Rock Posters to Texas Lawyers

February 19, 2015 By Nick 22 Comments

On November 6, 2014 poster artist/attorney (and TRPS board member) Nels Jacobson spoke to a group of Texas attorneys on the art business of rock and roll. His speech “Art of Rock and Roll” was part of the 24th Annual Entertainment Law Institute in Dallas. Posters from the Family Dog, the Fillmore, and various Texas venues were among those used to illustrate legal concepts such as copyright, trademark, right of publicity, infringement, and fair use.

"Uncle Spam" by Danny Garrett © 1982 — Popularly known as “Uncle Spam,” this Danny Garrett poster is a portrait of Spamarama organizer David Arnsberger. © 1982 Danny Garrett.

The paper Nels prepared to accompany his presentation in the course materials is downloadable below as a pdf file for those interested.

Posted @withregram • @plasticflame Daily poster: did a few prints for Dean & Britta shows back then. There was always something soothing about Luna songs that I heard way back when and I wanted to carry some of that calm over to the poster. Not a lot of action, just the light and balloon and a starry sky. I tried here, again, to over print a color over keyline art to achieve some depth through highlights. Again, not aware of how translucent the ink might be (and because, in many instances, I was printing with fabric inks, which are very opaque since they are going on fabric) I misjudged and the yellow feels very flat. To redo it, I might make the stars and night sky be contained to the balloon itself, with a tree or two, or maybe the lamp post, nipping at the basket, which follows down to the ampersand in Dean & Britta. Also, broken record, wouldn't print this on colored paper.

If you're interested in purchasing one of these, I've got some available. Message or email. Thanks.
