Foo Fighters “Joust” poster, Columbia MD

Last week I got to work with the FOO FIGHTERS, which is not something one says too often. I was stoked to be tasked with doing a gigposter for their Columbia, MD show at the Merriweather Post Pavilion. This band in particular is known for having a great catalog of gigposters over the years so being invited to be a part of that has been pretty huge.

The current crop of Foo posters ran heavy with space imagery which made me think back to one of my favorite old video games, Joust. The imagery associated with that game was a perfect mix of fantasy, sci-fi and felt like something that would appear in Heavy Metal magazine. The idea was to give my own cosmic take on that theme. Randomly someone would later inform me that jousting is actually Maryland’s official sport which was a crazy happy accident.

This poster has a print run of 350 (signed/numbered) which were made available by the band at the show. I will have about an Artist Edition (Run of 75… Signed/Numbered) available on Tuesday, July 10th @ 11am (PST).

Along with the regular run I made a special alternative colored “Hyper” variant (Run of 25… Signed/Numbered) and a small run of foils will be available for each.

Hello. I was at the concert Friday but wasn’t able to purchase a posted. SOLD OUT. Would love one for my basement/ man cave. Not to resell for profit like many of the people I see that got one. Thanks

Matt,

Great poster. If anyone returns theirs, would love to buy one. I was in the pit on Friday, but these were sold out by the time I could get to Merriweather. Would go great with the one I have from last October at Richmond!

Nice poster sucks they are selling for 200-400 on eBay now. Seems like people are more interested in making money than have nice stuff

I am an avid collector of Foo Memorabilia, Likely the largest in the country.

I have been intruiged by the amazingness of this poster for years.

Do yo have any more copies for sale. I would buy all 4 variants, or be happy with simply one of any. I normally only collect posters for shows I have attended. My count superscedes 30…

I appreciate your wonderful artwork. It is really incredible and reminds me of my childhood and one of my most favorite games…my favorite band. Nice Job! This is such a beautiful creation.

Thank you for your consideration.

Cheers, DutchAZ
