It gives us great pleasure to debut this year’s benefit Artist Relief Trust (ART) poster by our good friend A. J. Masthay. Printed by A. J. on his Vandercook Universal III letterpress at his Hartford, Connecticut, studio, the 24-by-18-inch linoleum “suicide print” has been printed in runs of 175 for the regular edition and 30 each for the swirl foil and cherry veneer versions. Proceeds from the sale of this poster benefit TRPS Artist Relief Trust, which annually distributes funds to rock-poster artists in need of a helping hand. You can pick up a copy of this beauty at the Festival of Rock Posters on October 19, 2019. Thanks to John Tillinghast of Exceptional Papers Inc. for the donation of the foil, and thanks to A. J. Masthay for his amazing image!
