85 METHANE STUDIOS
The Dave Matthews Band (DMB) has a vast and loyal fan base, with people often following its tours from city to city. The shows take on a festival quality. Methane Studios has a successful ongoing relationship with the band and was asked to develop some unique poster designs that would appeal to DMB’s fans.

“People of all ages attend the shows. For this design I wanted to create a bold, simple, graphic image that would be easily recognizable by fans,” explains designer/illustrator Robert Lee. “The grilled cheese sandwich is very often sold at the shows in the parking lots by fans to raise some cash and help feed hungry crowds looking for scrumptious, cheap snacks. Who doesn’t like a grilled cheese sandwich?” The poster was used primarily as merchandise to sell to fans at the concert and on the firm’s website. Methane Studios is currently at work on several upcoming 2007 DMB limited-edition tour posters. by Terry Lee Stone
