Just Like Being There

Join AIGA Reno/Tahoe as we present Oakland based bad-ass screen printer and poster designer, Lil Tuffy. He'll be joined by Scotty Roller of Rock City Posters. After, stay for an exclusive screening of “Just Like Being There” on Thursday, August 28. An SXSW 2012 selection, this in-depth documentary tells the story of the history and rise of gig posters, with an intimate look into the artists behind them and the cultural impact of the once under-appreciated art form. 

Beginning at 6:30pm, the event will feature music and pop-up poster shops by both Rock City Posters and Lil Tuffy.

WHO IS LIL TUFFY
Lil Tuffy is best known for his minimal style which relies heavily on typography and incorporates negative space. He creates limited edition, hand-screened posters for such bands as the Black Lips and Pavement, as well as many others. He also created the CBGB's 30th Anniversary poster. 

WHO IS ROCK CITY POSTERS
Rock City Posters is a Reno based store and gallery featuring original screen printed concert posters. Owner Scotty Roller is well known in the community as a musician and the proprietor of his own gig poster design studio, Scotty Roller Designs.
