M. Ward concert poster by Andrew Vastagh

Andrew Vastagh (Boss Construction) Nashville

Andrew Vastagh, aka BOSS CONSTRUCTION, is a one man show, based in Nashville, Tennessee. Andrew designs and screen prints all his posters by hand, personally. He began making Xerox flyers while still in high school, and later moved on to screen printing gig posters in 2002. As a graduate of the design program at The University of Memphis, Andrew wanted to avoid a corporate cubicle and focused instead on the freedom gig posters offered. Andy draws his poster influence from old Russian and Polish WWII propaganda posters, "That’s the true essence of a poster, it's inherently propaganda. It's a call to action. It communicates to people.” He has worked on everything from T-shirt designs for Death Cab For Cutie to the recent packaging and branding design of Old Crow Medicine Show's, "Tennessee Pusher.” In fact, an LP cover Andy designed for Old Crow Medicine Show was presented by Conan O'Brien on his late night show in 2008. Andrew lives in Nashville with his wife Christa, eleven year old daughter Madalyn, and two mean chihuahuas Bonita & Echo.
