Langerado 08_Jam in the Dam_Bonnaroo

New Posters Thursday at 1pm EST
Umphrey's McGee San Francisco Chinese New Year '08 - This 6 color print was created as a followup to the UM GAMH Dragon print commemorating the Chinese New Year during the time Umphrey's played San Fran. We've got a few available in case you missed getting one there. It's a 6 color screen print on Cougar 80lb cover. The rest of the edition is Sold Out and we Only have 30 available, limit one per customer.
Comedian Stephen Lynch Scandanavian Tour '08 - If you have never heard Stephen Lynch, type "Craig Christ" into Yo Tube and hold on. In the background of the poster are references to different songs by Lynch. This is a collab between Johnny Thief and Jeff Wood for one of our fav comics. A 3 color screen print on 80lb Black Eclipse paper.
Langerado Music Festival '08 - We unfortunately missed Langerado this year, but have heard some great stories about the new location. Jeff designed this 7 color screen print in Native American Sunburst colors in a Seminole patchwork pattern featuring a Water Bird since the event was held on the Seminole Reservation.
Rest of the edition Sold Out at the show and we have less than 40 to sell from our studio. T-shirts were also made from the design.
Jam in the Dam '08 - If you have never been to Jam in the Dam before, may we suggest you really, really try to make it next year... the city, the show and the people are just par none for this event and this year was spectacular! Jeff created this beautiful 8 color screen print dedicated to Rick Griffin and Victor Moscoso for the event as a follow-up to last year's print. The rest of the edition Sold Out at the event.
T-shirts were also made from the design.
Bonnaroo Conscious Alliance '07- This poster is an offset lithograph as the Bonnaroo people would not allow us to screen print it, but no worries as the poster helped Conscious Alliance pull in one of their largest food drives ever. Over 10,000lbs of food was gathered for the Coffee County Food Banks and other charities. We somehow overlooked adding it to the store last year, so here it is. Rest of the edition Sold Out during the event.

IMPORTANT: Orders from this release will begin shipping on April 9th. Invoices will be sent to each person as PDF attachments. Please make sure you can recieve these emails. Pay Requests for PayPal will go out as the orders are processed. When a label is created for your package, a notice with a delivery confirmation number will be sent to you.

The DCS Art Print Preferred Buyers Club:
A $100 initial payment reserves a guaranteed chance to buy one of any ART print we produce in the next year. Preferred buyers will receive 10% off the retail price of the prints and their prints will ship first. This payment also includes a special ART print as explained below.

The option to buy into the Preferred Buyers Club will be available until the 30th of September or until we reach our undisclosed limit, but will only allow early purchase on prints released after the buyer's membership has been initiated. Buyers cannot retroactively reserve or purchase prints at the discount, even if they are still available on our site.

We are leaving the number of PBC subscriptions available open right now. ART print edition sizes will be determined to accommodate the number of Club members, as well as, a number available to the public and galleries. Edition sizes will be between 100 and 250 pieces on prints.

Though offered, PBC members are not obligated to buy every ART print. Reserve & purchase only the prints you want.

We will not be able to fulfill requests for specific numbers. Sorry, we tried to think of a way to do it, but it's just not possible at this time.

PBC members will be contacted upon each scheduled release and will have one week to submit their order and reserve a print. After that week is up, the print will be released to the public. Only Preferred Buyers will be able to purchase early or get the discount.

THE PCB DOES NOT INCLUDE MUSIC POSTERS. IT IS FOR ART PRINTS ONLY.

Here's the cool part: this subscription will receive a special art print valued at $100 or more at sometime during the subscription year. Jeff plans on doing a special print in a very limited edition for this. We want to make the packages a great value and well worth the money spent.

Our next art print will be released around April 17-18.

Membership can be initiated now through this link
. I will NOT be sending Paypal requests for these invoices. If you choose the Paypal option, please send your $100 payment to our sales@drowningcreek.com email address when you place your order.

Derek Trucks Band/Susan Tedeschi Soul Stew Winter '07 - Yes, this is a redux of the Soul Stew poster with the eyes in green instead of blue and with the Winter otur dates. The change is subtle and would make a lovely accompanyment to the original. Rest of the edition Sold Out at the shows on tour.

Rest of the edition Sold Out on the ship.

SOLD OUT Tiger Art Print - As a followup companion print to the Dragon released back in Nov. '07, Johnny Thief and Jeff
team up to bring you the PGroove Clemson Tiger as the latest art print. 2 more colors than the Dragon, this was a more involved and longer to print project. The cost is slightly more than the Dragon, but the Dragon was the "test" for the process Jeff is using to print these. There are 140 available for sale in this release. There will not be a second release as with the Dragon, so get this now or pay more for it tomorrow on eBay. Limit of 2 per person. Do not submit multiple orders - they will be cancelled.

Perpetual Groove Amberland '07 - we've been holding this one for a while... not because we wanted to, we just didn't have time to release it before Bonnaroo. This one's another fine collaboration between Jeff and Johnny Thief. Yup, it's a fiery robot tiki and it's coming for you! Limit 3 per order.

Quotable
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix

"In America attendance at church is much higher, and it convulses the body politic because, unable to fulfill it's sacral function, the church has become simply a lobbying force for fundamentalist social policy...I think we should level [churches] to the ground and start over."
Terence McKenna

"Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it."
- Andre Gide

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein

"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." - Charles Bukowski

Book News

Check out the more than 70 posters from Drowning Creek Studio & associated artists in the Art of Modern Rock book, co-authored by Paul Grushkin and Dennis King. The book is available in most book stores and online, and is the long awaited (and amazing) follow-up to Grushkin's first book, The Art of Rock. No poster collector should be without this beautiful book!

Author and teacher David P. Szatmary included 2 Drowning Creek posters as illustrations in his Fifth Edition of Rockin' in Time: A Social History of Rock-and-Roll. Thanks so much, David!!

Caveat Emptor

Attn. Collectors - There are unsigned copies of Low Brow Ink prints that have been sold by the contract printer we paid to print them. These are possibly misprints and are not signed, numbered, or authorized by DCS. Check the DCS Blog for details and a list of the posters.

FYI: Be careful when shopping on eBay for poster art. There have been multiple instances of very bad quality photocopies or digital bootlegs of rock posters being sold by various sellers. If you see an auction for a DCS print that looks suspicious, contact us and we'll verify its authenticity - or not.

Also on eBay, several very industerious individuals have created a business out of cutting pictures out of poster books and selling them either framed or as is. This is not illegal, but isn't it stupid to buy a handbill sized print of a poster when you can still buy the real screen printed handbills direct from the art studio?

Ordering Questions

Please check our F.A.Q. page for answers to most ordering and shipping questions. Also, what to do if your package arrives damaged!

Posters are shipped rolled in Yazoo Mills tubes. We do not ship flat.

Poster prices are subject to change without notice according to availability.
