If I Had a Hammer print by Derek Hess

Derek Hess​ Cleveland

From concert posters to politically charged fine art pieces, Cleveland-based artist Derek Hess has tested the waters of both the music and art world for over 15 years. In 1993, Hess’ flyers caught the eye of Marty Geramita, who suggested that Hess turn his flyers into a business venture. In the years immediately following, Hess garnered the attention of countless bands as well as both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the infamous Louvre in Paris, who both have Hess’ art in their permanent collection. In addition to concert poster work he continues to do for bands, Derek Hess also participates in art shows both across the United States and around the world.
