For the inaugural Landmark Music Festival, we were fortunate to work with the lauded Tristan Eaton to create an original work of art that captured the monumental idealism of the National Mall itself. The central element is the Washington Monument, probably the most iconic building in the park. It’s super-imposed on a map of the Mall inlaid with a spider web design, a subtle nod to our interconnectedness. Meanwhile, the interior of the obelisk is a collage of Americana elements rendered in a posterized style that is a signature of Tristan’s work. He carefully selected the images to represent both the experience of the festival and the important history of its setting. The tall, narrow dimensions of the poster itself mimic the Monument and lend a soaring feeling to the art. 

We are offering two editions of the poster. We only print one run, and once they are sold out are gone forever. See below for more details:

About the Artist

Born in Los Angeles in 1978, Tristan Eaton began pursuing street art as a teenager, painting everything from walls to billboards in the urban landscape wherever he lived, including London, Detroit and Brooklyn. After growing up on comic books, graffiti and skateboard culture, Tristan designed his first toy for Fisher Price at 18 years old and began working as an artist full time. He has since become a driving force in the world of “Art Toys,” designing the Dunny and Munny figures for Kidrobot. 

Shortly after studying at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Tristan founded Thunderdog Studios, of which he was the President and Creative Director for 10 years. Thunderdog Studios regularly designs and consults for clients such as Nike, Disney and Barack Obama on projects that span the globe across all mediums. 

In 2012, Tristan moved back to his childhood home of Los Angeles to pursue his paintings and large-scale mural projects full-time. Tristan’s work can be seen in galleries around the world and in the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).
