Picture This Press to Publish "Let It Bleed: 20 Years of Concert Poster Design" by Jeffrey Everett

Picture This Press is proud to present the first career-spanning collection devoted to the work of designer and illustrator Jeffrey Everett.

LET IT BLEED: TWENTY YEARS OF POSTER DESIGN ▪ 444-pages of art and essays with more than 350 posters presented ▪ Foreword by author Shawna Keeney (I Was a Teenage Dominatrix: A Memoir) ▪ Outro by Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem) ▪ Deep-dive interview with the artist ▪ Observations, advice, and insight on working with bands and having a design career in the music industry penned by Everett

Marrying Sight to Sound Few concert poster artists can post numbers like Jeffrey Everett: 400+ concert posters produced over a 20-year career. Until now, owning his work meant owning one of the beautiful silkscreen posters that have been produced in limited runs over the years. It's past time that this body of work gets collected–for the first time–in an exquisitely produced 444-page hardcover that carefully reproduces more than 350 of Everett's award-winning posters alongside his observations on his craft, career, and collaborations with a multitude of performers. To round things out, some of those artists share their own thoughts on working with Everett.

Let It Bleed: Twenty Years of Poster Design by Jeffrey Everett

$60 • hardcover w/dust-jacket • 444 pp. • Color • 9" x 12" ($65 after Kickstarter ends on April 8)

Getting over the finish line... We've been working on this project for well over a year now, taking our time to get it right and to let Everett nail a book design on par with the quality of his beautifully designed posters. This hefty tome will be produced at a generously oversized 9x12" and offset printed on heavy artbook paper stock (157gsm) that will do justice to the work being presented. As you can see in the video and the various photos, 98% of that work is now done, but we need your help to make this book a reality. Please consider backing this Kickstarter
