Artist Peter Coffin began his work with the iconic designs of LA's Colby Poster Printing Company in 2008. Over the years, he solicited friends to contribute their dream concerts--invented lineups for impossible gigs--and combined them with the print shop's famously eye-popping poster backgrounds, resulting in Imaginary Concerts: a stirring, two-volume celebration of music's vast conceptual universe. Featuring 160 concert lineups from a roster of artists, authors and daydreamers including Yoko Ono, Larry Clark, Quasimoto, Genesis P-Orridge and dozens of others, Imaginary Concerts: Volumes One and Two transport the reader into an uncannily evocative, nostalgia-tinged and personally revealing realm of musical what-ifs.

Imagine your dream concert line-up. Heroes you never got to see, bands from far away countries that never seem to tour, or just your absolute favourites you could watch time and time again -It's Nice That Imaginary Concerts named one of the best things at the 2017 LA Art Book Fair - Eye on Design, Best Thing at the New York Art Book Fair Coffin does a masterful job of making graphic wit. It is not parody. It is not a simple joke. It is a kind of hipster graphic poetry that is as fun to read as to view. Since 2008 he's printed with Colby ads for shows that never happened but somewhere in the imagination actually did. -Print
