jay ryan has created numerous concert posters for several different bands in his screenprint poster workshop called the bird machine which he founded in chicago in 1995. you can buy/view his prints here.

“I try to react to the music in some way – either depicting what I think a song is about (either literally or figuratively), or I take some element of a record cover and make something else with it. Sometimes the link between the poster and the band is not obvious. There are times when making a poster is basically the act of being a big fan of the band – it’s a way to take part in the show on a personal level, as a fan.” – JAY RYAN
