#18 Daryll Peirce • Drawn to Disrupt

Daryll Peirce is a San Francisco–based gig poster artist, painter, and illustrator known for detailed, hand-drawn work for bands like Melvins and Primus, as well as his presence at events like Colour Haiku and TRPS. This episode explores his balance between fine art and gig posters, his pen-and-ink workflow, and his push to keep each piece evolving. We discuss standout works like the viral Melvins poster and his Southwestern-inspired Primus piece, along with his approach to nostalgia, humor, and layered detail. Peirce also shares insights on artist community, and why staying uncomfortable keeps the work sharp.
