About this poster
This gig poster for Primus, created by artist Dirty Donny, is a vibrant and wild illustration that clearly draws inspiration from the iconic hot rod and monster car artwork of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and his famous character Rat Fink. The poster features a grotesque, green monster driver wearing a blue helmet, gripping a cheese axe, and sitting in a heavily modified orange hot rod that's burning rubber and leaving a trail of smoke.
The design brilliantly echoes Primus' song about Jerry, the race car driver who "never did win no checkered flag, but he never did come in last." The monster driver embodies this spirit of rebellious, unapologetic racing - a wild, unconventional character who's more about the thrill of the drive than traditional victory. The cheese axe adds a quintessential Primus touch of absurdist humor, turning the typical racing narrative on its head.
The artwork is characterized by psychedelic, dripping pink typography spelling out "PRIMUS", an exaggerated, cartoonish monster character, detailed hot rod with elaborate mechanical components, bright, contrasting color palette (pink, orange, green, blue), and a chaotic, energetic composition.
The poster was created for a Primus concert on July 2, 2018, at the Saltair Pavilion in Salt Lake City, Utah. Lava foil variant, hand-signed by Dirty Donny, numbered edition of 10.
