Featured Artist: Tara McPherson
Unlike most of the artists you’ll read about on this site, Tara McPherson not only does work for extreme metal acts, but has actually collaborated with several mainstream bands too: Beck, The Decemberists, Depeche Mode, Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, and Queens of the Stone Age, to name a few. Her extreme music industry work mainly restricts itself to tour posters; she’s lent her distinctive style to clients like Neurosis, Mastodon, ISIS, and High on Fire, and Today is the Day.
Aside from gig posters, McPherson has also done several illustrations, comic book covers, and fine art pieces, and has exhibited her art in numerous galleries and conventions worldwide. Many of her paintings have a somewhat cartoonish feel to them, with women in various states of undress being a frequent theme. Some of the music posters also give off a 70s sort of vibe. TaraMcPherson.com features vast archives of her work, along with information on how to buy posters, prints, clothing and other merchandise.
