psychedelia and 90's
postindustrial iconography
to create vibrant, visually
stunning illustrations
for rock concert posters
and protest art. The

style has graced music
posters on a diverse
spectrum. Emek first

screens multi- colored
posters on paper, as
well as experimenting
with various mediums
such as metal, glass
and plastic, (he has
even carved posters
from stone!) for some
of the music worlds
brightest stars— from
B.B King to The Beastie
Boys, The Flaming Lips
to Bright Eyes— in limited
editions of around 300

the same passionate
intensity from his music
posters to his protest
art posters and illustrations
for magazines such as
Rolling Stone. Emek's
work has received international
praise and has been
collected by the Rock
n Roll hall of fame,
