Jack White is wrapping up his European tour and Alan Hynes has released two of his excellent posters from Dublin and the Euro tour poster.
Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin -
18" x 24" Edition of 180 signed and numbered
4 colour screenprint with metallic ink
price $40
Here is what Alan said about the design:
The Royal Hospital Kilmainham (now the museum of modern art) is one of the finest 17th-century buildings in Ireland. It was a home to retired soldiers for over 250 years, so a lot of dying went on here I would think, it’s prime banshee territory.
The banshee comb reference comes from a centuries-old Irish story that, if you ever see a silver comb lying on the ground in Ireland you must never pick it up, or the banshees having placed it there to lure unsuspecting humans, will spirit such gullible souls away. I can easily imagine walking acrosss the poorly lit courtyard in Kilmainham late one night and spotting this on the ground in front of me.
The JACK WHITE lettering is based on the Gill Sans typeface, and I must admit experiencing just a small amount of glee in “Irishing Up” something so quintessentially British.

Alan on the poster:
It can often be difficult to incorporate all the extra information necessary to a tour poster in an interesting or imaginative way. For Jack’s 2014 European Tour poster I’ve tried to do it by disguising the dates and venue information as business cards alongside an icon of americana, the 50′s style pay phone. The mismatched wallpaper as background sets the location whilst the handset held by a single wire sets up the storyline.Buy them in Alan Hynes Store
