>MARCH 18 & 19  FREE!!           Flatstock 6          This is a 
convention of gig poster artists from around the nation who gather during 
SXSW.  The event is held at the Austin Convention Center and will be held on 
Friday March 18th and Saturday March 19th.  Open noon to 6pm and the 
admission is free.  What a great opportunity (for free!) to see the poster 
artists in America who are the front runners in the gig poster arena. The 
Armadillo Artist will be hosting a panel discussion on March 18th at 2pm: 
Gig Posters: Where Did They Come From and Where Are They Going?"  This 
panel discussion will cover music posters from 1840 to 2005 and beyond, 
including how postering for music events in Texas got started and how the 
genre itself progressed through time to present day.  Ever wondered about 
the Austin/San Francisco poster connection?  Find out from Jim Franklin how 
he came to use the armadillo as an icon in his art...talk with Jack Jackson 
about the early days of the Family Dog Poster Company...ask Bill Narum 
questions about postering for ZZ Top and quiz Henry Gonzalez about moving 
between the mediums of murals and posters.
