2011 THE MONKEES AUTHENTIC TOUR POSTER Kii Arens 18x24 Davy Jones GREEK THEATREMy name is Andrew Sandoval and I have spent year’s producing The Monkees' concert tours. I am in the process of moving and now it is time to let go of some of my archive. I have WAY too much stuff. In fact, I have a whole storage unit filled with Monkees stuff that I have had to clean out and I will be listing everything here, including many one-of-a-kind items. I definitely cannot keep it all - please check out my other auctions if you like The Monkees.
This is an authentic poster commissioned by Los Angeles' legendary Greek Theatre for a show featuring Davy Jones & The Monkees on July 16, 2011. A handful of these were sold only at this show and because they weren't licensed from Rhino, they were not carried in the tour inventory. So, these will truly never be made again - it is a unique, historical item.
Beautifully designed by Kii Arens, the poster is like new with incredible colors on matte heavy poster stock - will be shipped flat via priority mail. A wonderful pastiche of 16 Magazine.
Kii Monroe Arens
was born in
St. Paul, Minnesota
.
From an early age, Arens had an affinity for morning cartoons, notably
Sid and Marty Krofft
.
The show, coupled with his interest in fonts, colors, spacing and layout, set in motion a growing fascination with art and design. His early passion for music was also strong, augmented by growing up in a musically inclined family. By the mid to late 1980s, Arens was DJing around the
Twin Cities
, and had a brief stint in
Rap
music, under the alias '2 Percent', opening for
Gang Starr
,
EPMD
,
DJ Quik
, amongst others.
A visit to Los Angeles in 2003 prompted Arens' move to his current location on
Santa Monica Boulevard
in Hollywood. As his work in album art and band merchandising continued, he began creating unique, non-music associated art pieces. His pieces soon appeared in many galleries around Los Angeles, notably: M Modern, Subliminal Projects, Gallery 1988, and his own gallery, La-La Land Gallery, which opened in 2004.
This has spurred a career in concert print creation that continues to present, with over 250 pieces created for artists such as
Radiohead
,
Queens of the Stone Age
,
Dolly Parton
,
Stevie Wonder
,
The Weeknd
,
Sonic Youth
,
The Who
,
Queens of the Stone Age
,
Devo
,
Diana Ross
,
Divine Fits
,
The Pixies
,
Tony Bennett
,
Glen Campbell
,
Bruno Mars
,
Tame Impala
,
The Beach Boys
and many others.
Suitable for framing - Hoping it will go to a happy fan!
It will be shipped flat to you, in an envelope with cardboard.
