Accepting Commissions First pro rock poster: 2019 Kory McGeehan Design Tamaqua, Pennsylvania
Some kids grow up on cartoons. Kory McGeehan grew up on skate deck graphics and photocopied show fliers. Influenced by the rough-and-ready style and DIY ethos of his local punk scene, McGeehan was compelled to create his own work. With a bootleg copy of Photoshop, he started grinding out flyers and merch for local punk bands, skate shops, and festivals.
Over the years, he evolved from an obsessive collector of screen-printed show posters to a renowned artist selling his own prints, along with other design services and products, though his business Kory McGeehan Design.
With his skill and distinctive style, it’s no surprise he’s got a client resume that reads like a festival lineup: Trey Anastasio, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Umphrey’s McGee, The Disco Biscuits, and Goose, to name a few.
McGeehan now opts for licensed software and is more likely to doze off in a movie theater than stay up all night at a basement gig watching a band play for gas money. His evolution as an artist has resulted in stylistic refinement, but he hasn’t lost the raw, dynamic, and unapologetically defiant energy that fueled his earliest work.
