Concert Art: Dinosaur Jr. Print by Marq Spusta

Dinosaur Jr. released Farm earlier this year and it has been in heavy rotation in my cd player ever since. Not only is the album awesome, but the artwork kicks ass as well. It was the first time I had seen any of Marq Sputa's work and I absolutely love it. It is very dreamy and the detail is incredible. The above poster is for Dinosaur Jr.'s upcoming show in Madison, WI on October 13.
