Because Seriously, You're So Over That Monet

One of our favorite parts of SXSW Music last year was only tangentially related to the thousand-plus bands in town -- it was Flatstock 6, a three-day gigposter show over at the Austin Convention Center that featured some of the world's most talented screen printers (we snagged a limited-edition print of the cover of Michael Chabon's The Final Solution, as well as some classic Flaming Lips show posters). And this South by, they're coming back to town!

Flatstock 8 (FS7 happened over in Seattle during the Bumbershoot Arts Festival last September) again takes place at the Austin Convention Center, from March 16th-18th. Some of the dozens of artists/firms you can expect to see works from include:

Bryce McCloud - Isle of Printing
Marc McDevitt & Robert Lee - Methane Studios
Tara McPherson
Hero Design Studios
Jeff Matz - Lure Design
South Austin Museum of Popular Culture
Kevin Mercer - Largemammal Print
Erick Montes
Jason Munn - The Small Stakes
Mike Murphy
FNHarsh Design
Ryan Nole - Kangaroo Press Ltd
