Posters forshows thatactually happened.

Rock on Paper grew out of 12 Line Studio, a one-person design practice making work for bands, venues, and promoters. Over the years, the extra prints went into flat files. Then people started showing up looking for the poster from one particular night.

Most of what you will find here was made for a real concert. The rest is a small collection of art prints, artist editions, and variants too good to leave in the drawer. Different editions, finishes, and printing techniques. One standard: the finished piece has to look beautiful on paper.

Real shows. Beautiful printing. Clear details. Packed with care.

What is in the flat file

01

Mostly concert posters

Posters connected to real bands, venues, dates, and nights people still remember. That history stays attached to the artwork.

02

Different editions and techniques

Standard editions, artist editions, foil variants, venue series, and other beautifully produced work. The process changes from poster to poster.

03

The details stay attached

Band, venue, date, size, condition, edition, and printing method—clearly listed so collectors and first-time buyers know what they are getting.

04

Stored flat. Shipped right.

Every poster stays protected in the flat file until it is carefully packed and sent to its next wall.
