Kickin’ off Widespread Panic Tour with Boise, ID poster

The boys of Widespread Panic are starting up their Spring Tour this week and will be kickin’ it off in Boise, ID on Friday, March 13th. Being the first poster of a tour is always an interesting task as you want to represent out the gate and deliver something that people will still hopefully remember as a slew of new posters pop up as the tour proceeds.

Originally I was toying with the idea of doing something involving a Bronco or giant horse as Boise has a lot of “Bronco” imagery attached to it but thought the idea had been played out in some past WSP posters and as it started to move along I had no connection to the animal or design. Thinking of the terrain and other Idaho wildlife I loved the imagery and notion of the Elder Shaman Ram that was welcoming the coming of Spring.

The final result is a 5-color print,… 18′ x 24′ with a 200 print run and my copies will be up in the store next week signed / AP.
