------1992-02-22 P-2 ------1992-02-22 / CP006194 / CP01443 Romantics, Dark Carnival at State Theater Notes: 4-color silkscreen, numbered edition of 400 by Ghetto Press, Detroit. reprinted 1993, signed and numbered edition of 200 Grimshaw's favorite poster, according to the artist.
---- I bought a few of these posters from the first edition from Kris Dorris in the early 90's He also sold me a few of an additional run done at the same time as the first edition. They are done using a psychedelic inking style he was working with at the time. So the yellow area is a swirling multi hued pattern. The edition was only 28 and they were signed and numbered by Gary. I may be able to unearth one for you to post an image of on the site. Chris used the same technique on the show poster he did for my show with Lee Conklin. -- Moxie Gusto
