Doe-Eyed is the design portfolio of Eric Nyffeler, an illustrator / graphic designer from Lincoln, Nebraska who makes some pretty snazzy images. His retro styling has a healthy dose of distress effects and his color choices are fantastic. Check out the portfolio and then buy some very affordable gigposters.

Strawberryluna let us know about this new app for something called an ‘iPad’… apparently its a big iPod that was released today. If you’ve heard of it, you might want to check out the app called Rock Show. It’s a free download and it seems like a pretty great idea. The app allows you to browse and purchase gig posters by a growing selection of artists. Other poster artists might want to get in on this! In a semi-related note, there’s also this bit of awesomeness.
