    Default Looking for my first gigposter job

    Hey there,

    I'm a fairly new poster to the forum here, but a longer-time reader and an even longer-time fan of music-related illustration and design.

    It's been a while since I've done music-related artwork, and I've yet to illustrate for a printed gig poster. I'm plowing my way through an Illustration BFA at Northern Illinois University, and, if you have a need, I'd like to illustrate for you.

    you can find samples here:

    Thanks for your time!

    not the best forum to find work - except those "promoter from CT" threads. are there no bands at northern illinois university? start with your friends bands or your band.

    I realized the proposal here might be overzealous, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I've done smaller promo poster pieces before here and there, but thank you both for the advice & feedback so far (any of which is very welcome)

    Get in touch with the campus activities group and offer your services when they book bands at the college. Or, talk to the owner of the local dive bar all the college bands play at.

    Then make great posters and post them here. (If your posters are good, people will notice, and the ball will start rolling)

    The more you hang around here the more opportunities you'll see pop up for bigger names/bigger gigs.

    well the fact that most of us on here are looking for work as well and have none to give you makes this a tough crowd. Agree - find a local band you like.
    I love that Chicken building - all of your architectural stuff is awesome - keep building on that (catch the pun there? didn't even try to do it. i am smart)
