His prints are often signed and numbered where the limited quantity of the edition increases the rarity of the product. Emek's work is highly sought after by collectors of his work, as well, as fans of the performer(s). Emek regularly attends the annual "Hall of Flowers" (poster show) in San Francisco, California hosted by TRPS (The Rock Poster Society). The largest collection of Emek art and merchandise to browse and purchase is at The Peoples Art of Portland Gallery in Portland, Oregon’s Pioneer Square Mall. As resident artist, Emek releases new and rare works to the gallery with frequency. New release gig posters, prints and merchandise are available for purchase through his online store at: https://www.emekstudios.com ==Career== Emek's style, known for its attention to detail and layers of meaning, infuses socio-political commentary into pop culture imagery. All of Emek's artwork is originally hand-drawn and then hand-silkscreened for each actual concert or event, usually in limited editions of around 300. In recent years Emeks’ file separations are digital, favoring the time saving method over the traditional hand- cut rubilith separations he would make to produce posters like The Black Crowes 2001 show at the Santa Barbara Bowl & Greek Theater.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= https://www.emek.net/rock/b/black_crowes.html )〕 Over the last decade, Emek's work has been shown in galleries across the United States, in Berlin, London and Tokyo. He has painted album covers for Neil Young and Pearl Jam as well as for many popular musicians and alternative bands, notably for singer/ songwriter Erykah Badu. Their creative partnership has developed several stunning works, like "New Amerykah" voted #12 of the Top 20 Album Covers of All Time. In 2008 Emek completed the art and packaging for Erykah Badu's album, New Amerykah. In addition to a gig poster for Badus’ 2 February 2008 concert in Israel, he created album art for Honey (Erykah Badu song) also featured in her video for the song "Honey". In similar fashion, the video for "Annihilation Blues"" by Moe (band) features Emeks’ artwork from the album cover "No Guts, No Glory" released 27 May 2014 by Sugar Hill Records.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=YouTube )〕 In the Hall of Flowers, fans treat the mono-monikered artist like a rock star, snapping photos as he signs posters. Many had seen Emek's work on eBay, where some of his posters fetch hundreds of dollars, and know exactly what they want. They call them out: Radiohead. Death Cab for Cutie. Bright Eyes. The Pixies. Paul Simon. Emek's unique visual style has graced music posters on a diverse musical spectrum, from blues legend B.B. King to Queens of the Stone Age, Coachella Music & Arts Festival and most recently for astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. He was invited to exhibit at the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum "History of Rock Posters" exhibition in Cleveland, Ohio. The museum cites Emek as an "internationally recognized poster artist" and has a collection of 37 Emek posters for various concerts and festivals from 2004–2012 in its "Library and Archives".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://catalog.rockhall.com/catalog/ARC-0378 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
