A striking black-and-white screen-printed concert poster featuring an elaborate ASCII/typewriter-art skull portrait rendered entirely from typed characters including M, D, N, $, Z, and other symbols. The central image depicts a large skull formed from dense typographic characters, creating a halftone-like effect through varying density of text. Below the skull, the band name appears in large ASCII-rendered block lettering (partially legible as ‘BANE’ or similar), alongside a time of 08:00 PM and date 06/17. The poster was printed by Lure Design Inc. (www.luredesigninc.com) and promotes a show ‘Live at The Social, Presented by Foundation, with Guests, $10.00, Ages 18+, tickets available at the door, Ticketmaster locations, and Park Ave CDS.’ The design aesthetic is distinctly early-to-mid 2000s, merging hacker/tech culture visuals with punk/hardcore concert poster tradition. The ASCII art technique requires exceptional typesetting skill and creates a visually arresting piece. The poster is printed in white ink on black card stock, giving it a high-contrast, dramatic appearance. A desirable example of typographic design in concert poster art, appealing to both music and graphic design collectors.
