Collectionzz has teamed up with acclaimed artist Matt Ryan Tobin for the next poster in their Iconic by Collectionzz screen print series commemorating another legendary moment in music history! Check out the brilliant Elton John “Los Angeles 1975” screen print by Matt Ryan Tobin! This is an official poster for Elton John’s historic concert at Dodgers Stadium in October 1975, which was recently featured in the movie Rocket Man. As Matt Ryan Tobin explained, “I wanted the poster to feel like it could’ve been used to promote the show in 1975.”

For this release, Matt researched vintage baseball card designs to create the poster’s unique look, fusing that influence with his subject’s distinct aesthetic. Tobin went on to say “There were bones there to work with that I took note of but at the end of the day the card design needed to be elevated with that Elton style and flare.” Keen observers may notice the reflection of a rocket ship in John’s glasses. The subtle addition was Tobin’s nod to the classic tune “Rocket Man”.
