“Don’t Get High On What You Create”

To commemorate their June 24th show, Thematic is offering an original gig poster, commissioned and designed by Michael Laurence. The design is highly evocative of each band and their work, and is inspired by wider art and design influences, such as: Robert Rauschenberg, Joseph Cornell, Karel Martens, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Darren Waterston, Vaughan Oliver, Peter Saville, David Carson, Jennifer Sterling, Imaginary Forces, and others.

Taking visual cues from the groups’ inherent “super-connected” nature, this design features an intricate, layered, hand-crafted, abstract composition referencing: interconnection, gravity, intention, sacred geometry, and a certain beauty-in-the-chaos that defies categorization – much like the artists themselves. The intended effect is a sense of "calculated randomness."

This is a strictly-limited, self-commissioned artist edition of 100, litho printed on premium 100# smooth uncoated cover stock, with archival inks. Each print measures 13×19 inches, and is hand-signed and numbered on verso. Packed and shipped quickly and securely.

Released: June 25, 2026

*Please note: This poster is an independent, self-commissioned, personal artistic statement and therefore is not formally affiliated with the venue, promoter, band, label, or management.
