The black Keys Tour Poster
Art Direction and Illustration
This was an official The Black Keys poster created for the Credit One venue in Charleston, SC show during the 2022 Dropout Boogie tour. The final poster was a 24”x18” (5-color) silkscreen poster. The concept was based on the 2022 Album Dropout Boogie and depicted a broken vending machine where each of the snacks and products within the machine referenced various songs from the latest album. These posters were sold during the Charleston, SC, concert.

Leaning into the Dropout Boogie and “collagen” theme, this poster was packed with hidden details and playful callouts. The vending machine buttons cleverly highlighted the concert date.

Dropout Boogie
Designed as a nostalgic nod to a worn-down high school vending machine, this poster is packed with hidden gems—from track titles and album callbacks to sly references to Dan and Pat themselves. Each illustrated detail rewards closer inspection, echoing the gritty, playful energy of Dropout Boogie and the band's no-frills, blues-soaked sound.
