Gary Houston

If you’ve ever caught a live show in the Pacific Northwest, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the gritty, evocative work of Gary Houston. For more than two decades, Houston has been a defining voice in the world of concert poster art, crafting distinctive pieces that blend the visceral energy of the music scene with a fine artist’s eye for detail. Operating out of Portland, Oregon, Houston’s posters feel like a throwback to a lost era, yet remain remarkably fresh and relevant. His art, rooted in traditional printmaking techniques, often bursts with frenetic life, thanks to his masterful use of scratchboard, a medium that few modern artists wield with such finesse.

John Seabury

John Seabury, the mastermind behind the iconic Pyno Man, is a legendary figure in the rock poster world. Emerging from the post-hippie underground scene in Berkeley, Seabury’s meticulous and surreal line work first gained attention with the late ’70s pre-punk band Psycotic Pineapple, where he played bass and designed their memorable flyers.
