Contributor Limelight: Robin Banks
If you never saw Robin Banks playing drums with The Mooks or Bombs & Beating Hearts, you’ve definitely seen Banks’ artwork taped up in the window of your favorite record store or coffee shop. Banks has been designing and screen printing gig posters since 2008, starting with a poster for Kepi Ghoulie, Big D & The Kids Table, Save the Swim Team and Asian Man Records 15th Anniversary weekend, and many, many more. Banks had a brief stint as a SLUG illustrator in 2008 and returned to the fold in 2011, designing posters for our November 2011 and January 2012 Localized showcases. Banks’ artwork was showcases for the first time at Guthrie Studios in october of 2011 with another show in February of 2012 at Jed’s Barber Shop.
