Luke Martin is a Maryland based illustrator and screen printer who has become a rising star in the rock-poster world. Born in 1996 on the rural Eastern Shore he jokes his hometown had “one gas station and two stoplights” he spent study halls drawing retro futuristic cities in notebook margins instead of attending class. That self-taught draftsmanship led him to Towson University in 2015, where a single screen printing course hijacked his attention; he dropped out a year later, bought a press and began pulling all nighters in a Baltimore basement under the alias Suburban Avenger Studios.
Martin’s process marries analog precision with digital punch. He scrapes meticulous pen and ink drawings on clayboard, scans them, then colors in Photoshop, building surreal, narrative packed tableaux that ripple like sound waves made visible. Psychedelic landscapes melt into mythic creatures, while bold palettes, electric blues, ember reds and sunset gradients pulse with the energy of a front row riff. The result feels like a lucid dream set to arena volume.
Since 2017 he has created official posters for Phish, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails and Dead & Company, often selling out within minutes. Each design functions as a set-list in pigment: hidden Easter eggs reference song lyrics, tour inside jokes or venue history, rewarding fans who scrutinize every tendril of linework. In 2024 he published Nothing New, a 472 page retrospective that sold out on pre-order, cementing his reputation as a new generation godfather of gig art. Despite the hype, Martin still hand pulls limited editions in his studio, drinks too much coffee and posts progress clips to Instagram, proving that obsessive craft and DIY spirit can share the same stage.

Luke Martin is an American illustrator and silk screen printer who has quickly become a sought after name in contemporary rock poster circles. Working under the banner Suburban Avenger Studios, he blends 1960's psychedelia with modern graphic punch, producing limited-edition prints that sell out within minutes of release. His process starts as loose pencil thumbnails inspired by song lyrics and venue atmosphere; the strongest sketches are inked, scanned and separated for hand-pulled screen prints that layer up to eight transparent colours. The resulting images feel both vintage and futuristic: melting skylines, cosmic wolves and neon lightning bolts float around bold lettering that honours the musical act while establishing Martin’s distinct voice.
Raised on skate graphics, comic books and California surf culture, Martin taught himself printmaking through trial, error and late-night pulls in a garage studio. That self-directed energy caught the eye of promoters for Phish, Jerry Garcia, Dave Matthews Band, My Morning Jacket, The Black Keys, Avett Brothers, Jack White, Robert Plant and Guns N Roses all of whom have commissioned posters that now trade on secondary markets for several times their original price. Each job begins with a deep listen to the band’s latest record, after which Martin translates rhythm and mood into swirling visual narratives that invite viewers to discover hidden symbols keys, eyes, constellations tucked between sweeping colour bands.
When he is not drawing, Martin hits the road to sell prints at merch tables, believing that face-to-face exchanges keep the art grounded in the communal spirit of live music. By merging DIY ethic with meticulous craft, Luke Martin proves that a concert poster can still be a pocket-sized revolution you can pin on your wall.
