KILLER ARTWORK! An early poster from 1987 featuring the grandfathers of Nardcore Punk music Dr. Know at the Pine Street Theatre in Portland Oregon. These posters were produced in tiny quantities for small venues on very short notice and put up on telephone poles and walls in a hurry. Ask anyone that was walking the streets of Portland at the time and they’ll tell you it was commonplace to see these posters stapled one on top of another totaling 3-5 inches thick. The daily rain and humidity of the region took care of the rest resulting in very low percentages having survived in undamaged Museum Quality condition like this one here!
