Jackie Greene is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and performer known for his blend of Americana, roots rock, and blues. Hailed as a “musician’s musician,” he’s released acclaimed solo albums like Gone Wanderin', American Myth, and Back to Birth, toured with B.B. King and Susan Tedeschi, and played with Phil Lesh & Friends, Trigger Hippy, and The Black Crowes. His work spans guitar-driven rock, soulful piano ballads, and folk traditions--Wikipedia.

"Since 1995, Gary Houston has humbly operated under the moniker of Voodoo Catbox, a well-known entity in the poster industry. He is most well known as the signature artist for The Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, and his unique scratch-board style has become the timeless branding of the festival since 2001. Houston describes the work he does as hands-on, physical, creative, and romantic. “It’s leaving a little bit of history,” Houston told Oregon Music News in 2009.

Houston’s process is painstaking, and that’s what gives his work its signature rawness. Using scratchboard—a rigid surface coated in a layer of clay beneath a thin film of ink—Houston meticulously scratches out his designs, revealing stark, detailed images beneath the black surface. Once the scratchboard image is complete, Houston transfers the design into a screen print, layering vibrant inks one by one. Besides scratchboard, Houston uses other processes. Sometimes he creates an ink drawing, and then there are times when he uses rubylith, a handcut film, to create an image. Houston still handcuts his color separations on a light table, cutting rubylith with an Xacto knife—just trying to keep old school alive." (From Rock Poster Society website)
