BACK TO PUNK FLYERS

Fellow artist Gary Panter was also very much involved in the early punk scene of Los Angeles. His bizarre graphic style graced a number of punk flyers and the example shown at left became Panter's most famous image. The drawing was designed especially for the Techno-punk band, the SCREAMERS, who were one of the most innovative bands in LA punk history. The band used Synthesizers instead of guitars and their highly theatrical and emotive performances made them a cult favorite. You can see my own portrait works of the SCREAMERS in the Punk Portraits section of this website.
