We made it down to SXSW this year to cover our favorite RVA bands (more on that tomorrow) and see what else was going on. What we found hanging out in the SXSW madness was Flatstock 43, a show dedicated to the gig poster. We found ourselves in an art nerd’s wet dream and had to check it out. Here is a wide sample of the best that Flatstock had to offer.

I created Richmond, Virginia’s culture publication RVA Magazine and brought the first Richmond Mural Project to town. Designed the first brand for the Richmond’s First Fridays Artwalk and promoted the citywide “RVA” brand before the city adopted it as the official moniker. I threw a bunch of parties. Printed a lot of magazines. Met so many fantastic people in the process. Professional work: www.majormajor.me
