Artists (from left) Glenn Smith, John Foy, Simon Day and Ben Brown are ready to sign and validate your poster collection.Elder statesman of Australian rock and roll street posters and driving force behind the Redeye Records label, John Foy, pioneered this long-term American verification practice in Australia a year ago, travelling between Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
“This year, it is now the four of us, and in 2024 we hope to further expand the idea to artists from other time periods and genders.
“As well as the authentication processes there will be all kinds of other genuine art and limited editions for sale.
“It’s a rare opportunity to meet and chat to some of your favourite rock poster artists - and we’d like to meet you and see what you have collected.”
Day, of course, is nationally known for fronting '90s fuzz-pop band Ratcat but is an artist of some repute. Brown was the singer in the Hellmen and Smith has played with Lawnsmell, Chinese Burns Unit and (currently) with Hellebores.
