Get Swamped With Lindsey Kuhn

A A A Comments By Jason Heller Thursday, May 13 2010

Lindsey Kuhn is famous in the skate world as the founder of Denver-based Conspiracy Boards. But his vivid, iconic, screen-printed artwork is just as well known, having been a staple of rock-show posters for two decades. It’s a run that recently culminated in an eye-popping, coffee-table book titled Lure of the Swamp. To celebrate the book's release, Kuhn is throwing Swampfest, a day-long blowout that includes music by local bands Pitch Invasion and Speed Wolf; a halfpipe showdown called Funtest; food; and sales on posters, T-shirts and skateboards. "Lure of the Swamp has been the biggest and longest-running project I've undertaken,” Kuhn says. “It's like a jigsaw puzzle of my poster art that took years to make, and that's not including the eighteen years it took me to make the posters. It's great to see the final product, and hopefully other people will like it as much as I do."
