ReplyDeleteI walked into work and my friend had a bunch of web browsers going on multiple machines. they were all on Emeks site. Once he explained he was trying to buy a print I offered to help in case he couldn't get through. Well, we both got through so I bought one for myself. Once I saw it in person.... I was hooked. Now I'm an addict.
Thanks for the contest! graphicjim()sbcglobal.net
My first Emek was-WWIII Veteran; beautiful artwork with an amazing message...had to own it.
ReplyDeleteMy first EMEK Poster was the 2006 Ben Harper print. I saw the image at a record store and it definitely caught my eye. I went home and searched the internet for the artist known as EMEK and was introduced to a new world of amazing prints and posters. I bought that same poster later that week which began my EMEK addiction that still continues today.

My first EMEK poster was from a contest like this one. EMEK offered the chance to buy the Prodigy Singapore 'Lionfish' poster by guessing his name for it. Although my guess was not exact, it was picked - Leo the Ludefisk. I have collected his work ever since. Thanks for the contest! tim.vottero(at)sdsmt.edu
ReplyDeletemy first emek was a Blue Ben Harper poster. Man was I blown away by it and how Emek captured the emotions Harper sings with.
ReplyDeleteIf I win I can be contacted on ebeans!
my first Emek was the 2003 Neil Young print. Emek is such an incredible artist - only wished I lived closer to the west coast to visit some of the show and see some of his older prints in person. Thanks for the contest and the blog! rw1rw1rw1()yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
HORDE Festival 1995 - This print started my art addiction as a teenager.

ReplyDeleteFirst Emek print was the Phish Cleveland 1995. I tacked it to my dorm room!
Emek jeeze where do i begin. I only buy prints to shows i go to, and i have been going to shows since 1994. Anytime i see an Emek print at the show it has been SOLD OUT, i have missed out on so many prints because of bad luck. I go to his auctions to attempt to buy something and guess what, SOLD OUT. I could not take it any more and had to go on ebay and after 16 years of going to shows and buying poster prints I FINALLY own the Sonic Youth 2010 Emek from the Wiltern(spent WAY too much), it is getting framed as we speak.
ReplyDeleteAlso i am a HUGE TOOL Fan, on their 2006 tour i saw them a total of 5 times in California alone, saw them at the club Nokia this year, and have seen them so many more times (total is somewhere around 8 or 9 times) and all those times i missed out on getting an Emek Print. SO if i win you would be hitting me on both ends!!!! This contest is awesome by the way.

My first EMEK was his 1994 Dinosaur Jr print. Dinosaur Jr is one of my favorite bands and I just thought it was such a strong image by a strong artist, I just had to have it. After much searching, it's now mine, and it's one of my favorites to this day. Thanks EMEK for your great work! peterson.justin()mayo.edu
ReplyDeletePixies Santa Barbara 2004. Great band! Great image! This poster started my gig poster collection. I enjoy the blog and thanks for the contest. dcp23()castlepines.net
ReplyDeletei got turned on to the work of emek via henry rollins. emek did the cover to a rollins spoken word: think tank. i went to see rollins on that tour at the 9.30 club in dc. they had litho prints of the cover illustration tacked up. i snagged one off the wall of the ladies bathroom. the first emek screenprint i bought was QOTSA 2003 ft lauderdale. it's a lift of albrecht durer's adam and eve. albrecht durer is my most favorite artist but i can't afford his prints so i got emek's version instead. i actually ordered 6 other prints in that tube, ahhh the good old days of emek collecting.

My first Emek was the 96 PJ Charlotte print..bought it on the secondary market and of course paid a pretty penny for it. Nice giveaway...hope I win...
ReplyDeleteMy first print, as a relative newcomer, was his collaboration with Aaron Horkey on the Decemberists 09 poster.
ReplyDeleteI had just gotten into concert posters maybe a month or two beforehand and I had bought a ticket to the Decemberists show at Edgefield outside of Portland. Lo and behold, the morning after I bought the ticket, I saw this beauty up on your blog.
It definitely kickstarted my addiction, was the first print I got framed (at 21 years old, getting something framed seems absurd), and I went on to buy Emek's Death Cab 09 poster as well, because the image was beautiful and also because I liked the fact that the poster was for Death Cab's show at Edgefield the day before the Decemberists. Maybe I'm just OCD, but I thought that was cool.

Got my 1st emek from his site.
ReplyDeleteWent to the decemberists Amsterdam concert but could buy the print, so I bought it online later, still really glad I got it!
BGP-201 Beastie Boys Portland Oakland 98 EMEK - 1st. Bought because it is an amazing interpretation of the band in a manner only Emek could create. :)
ReplyDeletethe first emek i purchased was phonograph skull from 2005. i bought the print because it represents to me how my brain works. music plays in my head all the time, day in and day out.
ReplyDeletemy first emek was the emek-poster for his art-show in belgium. I simply love this one. have it framed in my room. ...yep, would have loved to have the original tool print. but the price kinda went through the roof.
ReplyDelete...just got the pearl jam emek. I just hope his book will be released, too.
my first emek was the poster for the belgian show he did, was a pretty awesome evening. was just getting into the poster thing. and found out emek did a show near here. did lot of explaining of every poster he did. had him doodle mine. wish more poster artist would come to belgium
ReplyDeleteThe BP foil print is the first Emek I ever bought. Emek cares and wants real change...and I do too, reason why it's in my art collection.
ReplyDeleteemek rothbury.
ReplyDeletei never went to the festival, but its the first hippy festival in michigan near my hometown. i have been hooked ever since. i just had to buy the lolla soungarden poster this year.

Siouxsie London 2008 was the first Emek print I put in my collection. I love the print because Emek captures the Siouxsie of the time so very, very well. Emek is one of the great artists of our time. Thank you for the givaway. This blog is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOk, I cant figure out if comments are filtered and then posted or not but here goes my second attempt.
ReplyDeleteOutside of Pearl Jam posters, I am not a big collector of posters. But with this years tour kicking off in Kansas City EMEK's poster was the first EMEK I obtained and one of the tour posters I really wanted. Ended with both MSG ones because I was at the events.

The first Emek I purchased would have been a Tool poster from Ryan!!! Why? Because all of them are bad ass!!!
ReplyDeleteMy first Emek poster was the collab with Horkey for The Decemberists show.
ReplyDeleteThans for doing this!

Janes Addiction the laser cut. I got the purple and love it. Framed between 2 pieces of glass...I was just drawn into this one..love it!

Air Philadelphia from 2004 is my first Emek. I love it since it is a great melding of venue and band. Emek rocks and so does Inside The Rock Poster Frame!
ReplyDeletei don't usually kiss and tell but for EMEK, anything...
ReplyDeletefirst EMEK for my girlfriend and I was 06 coachella, it was my 2nd time at Coachella with her and really the most memorable... we didn't buy the print because it was EMEK, we bought it because it is a beautiful piece of art that once it's up and framed in our house (hopefully in the next 20 years) it will remind us of an incredible, magical, weekend that we will never forget. it's not the work and what it represents that is important about this print to me, it's what it represents to us.
I think my first EMEK was the All Points West festival in 2008. Couldnt believe what my eyes were seeing. Been hooked on EMEK ever since. EMEK's Anonymous, hehe

Thanks
my first Emek was the 2004 DMB tour poster. For some reason I didn't get it at the show, so I had to pay big for it later.
ReplyDeletethanks for doing this contest!

2003 QOTSA. Back in the day when you could drop him an email & he'd send a poster in return(wow). Emeks a proper artist, proper detailed work. Some of his faded line releases wood, metal & batiks et al are cracking. Cheers ITRPF/FL.
