Widespread Panic 420 Fest 2019 poster

Widespread Panic headlined this years Sweetwater 420 Fest in Atlanta this past weekend and gave me the nod to work up a poster for the weekend. It just so happened I also created a print for the whole Festival and much like with last years 420 headliner String Cheese, I was lucky to create the Festival print and Headliner print.

Back in Dec. when working on Panic’s New Years shows in Atlanta, we chatted about some how bringing back their iconic “Note Eater” character back into the mix. The original idea was to try and work it into the New Years Eve Countdown but due to timing we ended up scrapping it.

The Note Eater has always been portrayed as a pretty simple logo so immediately I knew I wanted to try and flesh it out for the first time and give it my spin. I also dug the idea of the Note Eater also some how being eaten. The whole thing went through a couple different iterations and poses but ultimately we chose the current layout so that we could work in some more Atlanta references (peach, skyline, etc..).

The final poster is a 6-color screenprint (18″ x 24″), and I will have an Artist Edition (signed/AP) run of 65 available on April 24th @11am (EST).

Along with the regular run, to celebrate the Return of the Note Eater, I also will have available a limited run of different foil variant with some paper Ive never tried before.
