Art that’s felt, rather than simply seen

A colorful, abstract illustration of musicians performing. A singer is at the center, passionately singing into a microphone, with eyes closed and an expressive face. To the left, a guitarist with curly hair is playing an electric guitar, and on the right, another person is playing an electric guitar. The background features vibrant splashes of orange, red, purple, and blue, with layered sketches of other performers and musical instruments.

“Beautiful work. I have his Springsteen. Printing quality is exceptional. Feels like a hand drawn charcoal sketch. Not sure how he does it, but super cool.” - Mark G.

Welcome to The Pompous Poster Co., an evolving series of collections where each print tells its own story. Whether featuring music icons, cultural figures, or a cute cow, we set out to translate the invisible energy of culture into striking visual art. We create pieces that are felt rather than simply seen. Think Andy Warhol meets Hatch Show Print, but completely our own thing.

The image features a colorful, illustrated portrait of a man with glasses and a beard, wearing a tan jacket and dark jeans, striking a dynamic pose with arms outstretched and legs apart. The background includes overlapping sketches of the same man in different poses, with vibrant colors such as purple, orange, green, and yellow, creating a lively, abstract effect.

ARTIST statement‍ ‍Scott Smith

For years I’ve treated being creative more as a curse than a superpower. Instead of embracing my brain’s inability to shut up, I spent too much time trying to fit into society’s neat little creative boxes. Spoiler Alert: It didn’t work. I realized I don’t need a “title” or a “discipline” — I just need to make stuff. And this is some of that stuff.
