Justin Hampton has been creating high-impact imagery since his arrival on the art scene in 1990. He got his start in Seattle working for famed graphic designers Art Chantry and Jeff Kleinsmith at The Rocket, a monthly music magazine that was ground zero during the 'Grunge' era. Almost two decades later he is renowned as one of the leaders in the modern rock poster scene and has garnered international attention. His bold line work and sublime color palette mixed with a vivid imagination are unmistakable. His work can be seen in various galleries in Europe, Asia and Australia as well as the in the States. Hampton's work has been published in many books including the definitive tome of the gig poster genre; The Art of Modern Rock. Recently, Justin was prominently highlighted in the documentary movie 'American Artifact, the rise of American rock poster art.' The film was recently added to the permanent collection of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Hampton's collaborative poster for the movie with his cohorts in Post Neo Explosionism(or PNE) was also added to the museum's archives. Justin has countless prints and original art in the collection of Experience Music Project museum in Seattle as well.
