Show posters by real
humans, with receipts.
Flypost is a two-sided marketplace I designed, built, and shipped end-to-end. It pairs event promoters with verified human artists for original show posters — and attaches a provenance receipt to every commission, so the work is provably hand-made. Launching out of Edmonton's underground.
The internet got flooded with slop.
Generated poster art is everywhere, and a promoter has no easy way to tell who actually drew the thing.
The problem
Show posters are how a scene shows its face — and the supply is now drowning in low-effort, AI-generated images. Promoters want original art from a real person on a real deadline; artists want commissions that aren't competing with a prompt. Neither side has a trustworthy place to meet.
The approach
Make authenticity the product. Every artist is a vetted human — verified identity, hand-made work — and every commission ships with a provenance receipt.
The guarantee isn't a marketing line — it's enforced by the workflow, from onboarding to delivery.
A marketplace, end to end.
Artist Directory
A browsable roster of vetted artists, each with starting price and turnaround. Promoters pick the hand they want.
Verified Provenance
Identity verification at onboarding and a provenance receipt on every commission — proof the work is hand-made.
Commission Flow
A structured path from brief to delivered poster, with expectations on price and timeline set up front.
The Wall
A public feed of shows and the posters made for them — the scene's portfolio, in one place.
Artist Onboarding
A self-serve 'I'm an artist' path that brings new creators in through the same verification gate.
Trust & Transparency
A clear, public stance on what the platform guarantees — no slop, no anonymous fronts, no AI passing as human.
