You’ve Likely Seen Concert Posters By Award Winning Idaho Artist

Concert artwork is a highly collectible passion for many people. One southern Idaho artist has been producing incredible artwork for some of the country's biggest bands for more than 20 years.

I've attended dozens of concerts in my lifetime. If I had to guess, I'd say I've gone to somewhere in the ballpark of 60 shows or so. I usually buy merchandise when I go, and I have been known to bring back posters from concerts I've paid to see. I know people who have massive concert poster collections.

Wood is primarily a pen and ink artist. You might have seen some of his work online or even hanging in public spaces throughout Idaho over the past 20 years.

The last concert poster I bought was in 2018. I saw the Smashing Pumpkins on their "Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour." I caught them while playing in Salt Lake City on September 4. I drove about six hours roundtrip from Twin Falls, Idaho, to see the band play live.

This September, I'm driving to Southern California to see Pearl Jam play at Doheny State Beach. I'll likely come home with a T-shirt, poster, or some other memento from the show. YouTube is full of channels by people who paint famous musicians.
