Justin Hampton, Queens Of The Stone Age Screen Print Gig Poster Las Vegas 2003

Description

Queens of the Stone Age & Rye Coalition at the Joint, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas 2/22/03
I did a lot of album and promotional art for the band Eagles of Death Metal since before their 1st record Peace Love Death Metal in 2004. Early on I did a lot of art without much compensation but I got some nice perks. At some point around 2004 or 05 Jesse Hughes, the singer of EODM, gifted me a bunch of QOTSA posters that he got from his partner in EODM- Josh Homme, (who's other band is Queens of the Stone Age). They were all posters by EMEK, Jermaine Rogers & Justin Hampton, done as a collaboration for QOTSA's tour for Songs for the Deaf that ran from 2002-2004. Those artists collectively called this collaboration P.N.E. "Post Neo Explosionism". There were a handful of other artist's posters from the tour as well, from other cities/venues.  The stack of posters that Jesse gave me included a few J Hamptons, J Rogers, EMEKs and some random others . So this poster came from a pile of posters that Queens of the Stone Age / Josh Homme got from all the artists on the songs for the deaf tour. For whatever reason. Justin Hampton did not sign & number this print, I reached out to him recently to try to find out more info about it but he did not respond. I believe its possibly a test print or an artist's proof, but I can only speculate- 12" x 18" on heavyweight paperstock.
