    Default Getting started

    I hope this is the right place to ask this question , I'm just out of Art school and want to get into do posters for venues. I have a bunch of graphic art pieces that I think could be used for poster use. My question is. Who do I go to first, the band or the venue that band is playing at to see if i could do the poster for a certain date?Do you have to bid on gigs? If anyone could give me a run down on how these things get started it would be great. Thanks

    The band trumps all but you'll have to usurp the chair of tim83 first.

    contact a club in your area, ask about doing some posters for some upcoming shows if nobodys already doing them. DONT just do posters without asking. bring your portfolio down. dont expect to get paid. make posters that fit the bands, not just stuff you have kicking around.

    I could probably hook you up with gigs depending on your preference of music (and like DD said if you want to get paid - I don't pay 'cept for some lovin' and posters.)


    Give me a PM if your interested.
