Interview With Poster Artist Todd Slater
The growth of online trading forums has allowed music related poster art to flourish in recent years, and a number of the best artists have quickly risen to the top of the food chain. Emek, Kozik, Jermaine Rogers, and Pollock, are becoming household names for young art collectors. A Jermaine Rogers print will typically sell for anywhere from $100 to $150 on the secondary market. As a result, this type of art is becoming popular not only with art and music enthusiasts, but with people who buy only to "flip" the prints online for profit, much like online ticket scalpers do these days.
Meanwhile, Todd Slater, a young artist from Texas, has been quickly gaining prestige from critics and art lovers nationwide. His prints are unique and practical in their presentation of striking artwork that accurately speaks to whatever band's personality and attitude he is working with, which probably explains their rising prices and the increase in online trading frequency.
Recently Todd spoke to us about his tastes, his influences, his methods, and what the term Dankster truely means to him .

School band plays DJ Shadow's 'Endtroducing' with real instruments
The after-school percussion group at Minnetonka High School, Minneapolis, rehearsed for months and can now play two tracks from DJ Shadow's 'Endtroducing' album. The music was arranged by 25 year-old geographer/law student/vibraslap enthusiast Brian Udelhofen, who teaches the group. The Shadow Percussion Project page links to this amazing video [65mb WMV] of the group's live performance in May 2005. They play 'Building Steam with a Grain of Salt' and 'Changeling'. What's amazing is how much like the record they sound (given the rather fuzzy audio), at least on 'Building Steam'. The drummers recreate the glitchy MPC-60 loop editing pretty much perfectly. This could possibly be the coolest thing we have ever seen.
