I like to hang pinball show posters in my gameroom and I've been
fortunate in that the West Coast shows have had some very nice ones in
the past.

The folks at the Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show here in Seattle have
recently utilized top name artists to create some really cool ones!
Check 'em out:

The 2011 show poster by Greg Freres:

This year's upcoming show poster by John Youssi:

With all of the great pinball shows around the country, there have to be
others out there as well. Any to share?

Thanks.

Nobody has a show poster file or link worth sharing?!

I wish I had something to share. That being said, thanks for the poster
links. It's good to see the pinball artists getting involved, and
putting out some really neat stuff!

Honestly, pinball show artwork leaves damn near everything to be desired. This (&
last) year's nw pinball show artwork are the notable exceptions!

Agreed, hard to beat those two artists.

Had the pleasure of meeting Greg Freres during the Michigan Expo at his
Wizbang booth and listening to him speak about his history. A great guy
with time to speak to everyone.

Greg is a talented artist with a long history in the industry with his
most notable works of the Elvira (1&2) and MM machines. He goes from the
STTNG style of art to his Mad Magazine influenced style.

His work on Whoa Nellie! is fantastic. That game is an incredible piece
of artwork top to bottom.

I am a big fan of the Pacific Pinball Expo posters/t-shirts. Here is this years.

Like the Seattle shows (I have the 2011 T-shirt, its great!) The PPE art does a nice job of blending the style of the show with the feel of the locale.

I may be mistaken but many if not most of their posters are done by Pacific Pinball Museum resident Dan Fontes.

Thanks for the various links! I've always liked PPE's posters and this
year's is fantastic.

I've been trying to score old PAGG posters too so the 2008 one is much
appreciated!

Anyone have a 2009 Pacific Pinball Expo poster for sale? That's a
classic.
