[Poster Art] Gregg Gordon
Gregg Gordon’s first poster was for Ozzfest, a make-money scheme created by Sharon Osbourne in which she actually charged bands thousands of dollars to open for a tired, water bucket-wielding version of her husband. Still, it’s not a bad project to get thrown your way when you begin making concert merchandise for Sony. As the years went by, Gregg decided to go solo, creating his company GIGART. Functioning as GIGART, Gregg was contacted by The Fillmore in San Francisco to design posters for their venue, and he’s had a stranglehold on the industry ever since. Gregg took a minute to describe his style. “I like that I have many different styles; if you were to look at my work, you might not think they were all created by the same person. I guess my illustration styles would range from really clean sharp line work to having a rough hand drawn feel. I also like to collage, using many different photos and illustrations and distressing them to get that worn, trashed feel. I am always trying different techniques. It keeps me interested and challenged.”
