Emek is one of my favorite artists, and this handbill (about 8x10 inches on paper-backed foil) shows why. This image is a smaller version of a poster his did for trps.org, which is The Rock Poster Society. The flying eyebal on the left is an ode to Rick Griffin, whose flying eyeball poster for a Jimi Hendrix show in 1968 was itself an ode to Von Dutch.
I wrote about Emek and a few other folks a while back for the Times, and posted on Show & Tell just about Emek:
