About this poster
Originally created in early 1990 by artist Justin Hampton while in art school, this flyer was designed for the Nirvana, Tad, The Gits, & Crunchbird show at the Hub Ballroom in January 1990. The original version was a raw ink sketch later reworked on one of the first Macintosh computers, then printed and posted around town. Although never the official flyer for the gig, it became an iconic image associated with the show and was later featured in the HBO documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck.
This signed and numbered set includes three screen-printed versions:
- The original hand-drawn sketch
- The cleaned-up design on white stock
- The negative black-and-white version, inspired by the Bleach album aesthetic
Printed for the first time on thick paper stock, select orders also include a randomly inserted bonus color variant.
— Justin Hampton
