Poster: RARE REM Signed Limited /200 Silkscreen Cardiff Concert Show Poster Project NEW

After a bit of going back and forth, we have finally gotten the much-anticipated show posters up in the THRIFTSTORE! Although this epic project took quite a bit of logistical work, it was well worth it. As you scroll down to the bottom of this article, you will notice as you read that a good number of the artists signed their posters. Unfortunately, due to distance and in one case a standard operating procedure, we were not able all to get all of the posters signed. We hope you like them as much as we do.
