I'm very interested in concert poster/print artwork. Any suggestions on how to begin? Should I stick with specific artists, musicians, time frames, genres, types, WHAT DO I DO? Any suggestion on high demand artists?

watch your spending.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.
My best advice is to just leave now and never look back.
Just get what you like and have fun.

nice score scotty! my only hope is the lotto coming up...
Buy what you like and only what your gonna frame.
No one ever takes this advice so just buy everything that you see.
Spend way too much on paper and hang around here busting each others balls.

Try not to get wrapped up in the rush to score a print before it sells out or else you'll end up with a few really nice prints and a lot of filler.

I've been trying to step away from doing this, but it's pretty hard. Prints that I haven't framed yet are slowly starting to pile up in my flat.Cragars wrote:Try not to get wrapped up in the rush to score a print before it sells out or else you'll end up with a few really nice prints and a lot of filler.
This is good advice. I only used to collect gig posters before I joined EB, but now I'm on many different mailing lists for art prints now.timc wrote:Join lots of mailing list!

Seems like a lot us just buy anything and everything from the get go, get slightly burnt out, then get way more selective.
Start selective. Only buy what you really, really like. There is so much talent that you'll see a bunch of stuff that you like a lot - but before you buy make sure you like it a LOT a lot.
