Eric Church poster for Lexington KY, 2015
When given the task of coming up with something for a Lexington, KY show the obvious horserace and other imagery immediately came to mind which seemed really boring. I decided to dwell deeper into the hollers of Kentucky history and explore their love of the drink… Whiskey & particularly Moonshine. Some treat it as a proud history, others not so much but regardless “The Moonshiner” is an interesting subject in Southern Lore. Running from police, making hardcore booze out of nothing and a “I will fuck you up” attitude makes for an interesting poster. Especially for an Eric Church show….
I started off thinking simpler with more of a focus on an actual aged Whiskey barrel w/ the show info burned into it. Unfortunately for me… simple isn’t my style. I moved on to an idea of an old whiskey runner truck, kind of like in the 20’s, with the driver more of a skeletal figure. But in the end it was to hard to pass up the desire to draw a hardcore ol’ git Moonshiner sitting on his porch, ready to strike.
The Lexington, KY poster is 18′ x 24′, 4-color and had a print run of 170. I will have a very limited run of Signed/Numbered prints available the day after the event, Friday, May 8th @ 10AM (PST).

Looking for a print of “the Moonshiner” Eric Church concert poster. A signed copy would be great if you can direct me towards one- but an unsigned copy is also desired. Thank you
