Visual Feast in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

I'm very proud to announce that my book, Visual Feast, has been accepted into the Library and Archives of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! As you know, it's been quite the journey from starting in my studio 6 years ago thinking of finally writing my story and collecting my work into a book. I'm not going to lie, this was probably the biggest project I've ever undertaken. There was hundreds, if not thousands, of hours spent honing this tome and rewriting a million rewrites. That said I'm very proud of how it turned out. I took the time and put in the insane hours to make something that I'm genuinely pleased with. I'm very thankful to all of you that supported this successful Kickstarter campaign. You all helped my bring my vision to life! The book is now, not only distributed in book stores in the US, Canada, Mexico and Australia but archived in Cleveland among the greatest books of Rock in the one and only Rock And Roll Hall of Fame! 

In other news, I've got some new releases...

Cosmic Tripster 18 poster

On Sale Now! 

I've created a lot of posters for McMenamins Crystal Ballroom in Portland over the years so it was an honor to get asked to design a poster for their Cosmic Tripster 18 event. A Cosmic Tripster is someone who buys a McMenamins Passport and earns stamps by visiting every one of the McMenamins locations in the Northwest. Once you collect all of the location stamps you can turn in your Passport at any McMenamins Hotel to become an official Cosmic Tripster. When you become a CT you'll earn: Hotel stays. A pair of concert or movie tickets. An exclusive invite to the next Cosmic Tripster Party. The poster was a giveaway to all those that were able to reach the goal and attend the party.
 

I have now have a very Limited Edition to offer to my collectors. These signed and numbered copies are only available from me personally!

'Thin White Duke' -David Bowie sketch print

 

On Sale Now!

 

This my pencil sketch art print of David Bowie in his "Thin White Duke" era. This year marks the 50th anniversary of his watershed albumStation To Station. It was the first part of his three part "Berlin trilogy" as it came to be known. He had just left LA to, once again, reinvent himself- this time with more of a European avant-garde vibe. He found that in spades in Germany with influences like Kraftwerk. The lyrics reflected Bowie's obsessions with Friedrich Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley, mythology and religion.

 

As to the print itself, I love the simplicity of pencil with gradation on white paper. It's honest, streamlined and elegant. No foil paper, no fancy inks, just pure and soulfully simple expression with a lead pencil. As a huge Bowie fan, this was very fun to create. I hope you enjoy it as well. 

 

Each copy will have hand drawn smoke coming from his cigarette making every copy uniquely original. Along with my signature in pencil and JH logo emboss this will give every print a tactile and personal touch.

Book PDF and Digital Pack release bring the KS to a close
4 months ago – Tue, Mar 31, 2026 at 09:56:50 AM

Hey amazing people!

Today is the day the Kickstarter officially comes to a close with the release of the downloadable PDF of the book and the digital pack for those who ordered it! You should have received an email from Backerkit with download instructions by now. The Digital Pack includes three classic Hampton images, including a newly reworked and extensively updated version of my "Dreamtime" artwork. This piece was originally published as my 2006 Pearl Jam / CCFA Melbourne poster and later made into an art print version. I wanted to create a version that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the original release—something special for this moment and for the great patience you’ve all shown me. Thank you all so much for helping me bring my vision to reality! I'm forever grateful!

For anyone who wants to order a PDF of the book for themselves, you can now order it directly on my website! Whether it’s a companion purchase to go along with the physical book you ordered, or if you only bought a poster or sticker set as part of the campaign, you can now own a digital copy to view on your devices. Click the image below to purchase your copy!

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! 

More new releases are always in the works so please sign up for my mailing list on the very bottom of my website front page if you want to stay tuned for my latest projects! 

Very best,

Justin

Here's an updated link to the Amazon page if you're interested in leaving a review. I saved that last draft for a few days while I polished the message and it must've expired. Weird. 

Anyway, sorry for the hassle. Here's a correct link. Thanks again!

The Final Chapter: Thank You for Making Visual Feast a Reality
5 months ago – Wed, Mar 04, 2026 at 12:43:00 PM

Hey you amazing people!

Nine months ago, Visual Feast made its way into the world—and what a ride it's been! Today, thanks to you, Visual Feast is a real book—sitting on shelves, coffee tables, and in the hands of readers around the world!

99% of all copies are now in your hands. Some final Deluxe Edition copies with personalized sketches are still in transit, but the last of them are finally on their way to you. I poured my heart and soul into this thing. Saying thank you doesn't even begin to describe my feelings of gratitude. I appreciate you joining me on this journey and your great patience—I know the wait has been long, and I hope the book proves worth every day of it and more.

This project has always been powered by you. From the moment we launched together, through every step of production, to now—watching Visual Feast find its audience. Along the way, I've garnered some incredible supporters that gave me unbelievably flattering quotes: bands I've worked with over the years, including Kim Thayil from Soundgarden, Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam, the guys from Ween and many others. Also, fellow artists including Shepard Fairey, Jermaine Rogers, and the dearly departed Frank Kozik and more. And of course, the late, great Mark Lanegan, who wrote a powerful introduction to the book that I'll treasure forever. That said, it was YOU who believed in this project and allowed me to bring everything I could to the table to make this a tome that I'm very proud to say is my legacy in book form. 

Now I have one last ask for those willing to give it.

If you've received your copy and feel moved to do so, head over to my book distributor's Amazon page and leave a review. Let future readers discover Visual Feast through YOUR words. Some absolute legends from the KS and my website have already posted their thoughts with glowing 5 star reviews, and I'd love for you to join them if you're willing.

You made this happen. Every page exists because of you. I'm eternally grateful for your support, belief in me and the project. Thank you.

Visual Feast Book PDF & Digital Background Pack

For those that ordered the Visual Feast Book PDF & Digital Background Pack, the PDF is queued up now and I'll be selecting some Digital Backgrounds and scaling them for release next week. Stay tuned for those. 

Here's a look at where we started once the books arrived stateside last June.

 Here's where we are now. That was a TON of work but it's DONE!!!

The book is now out in the wild, your homes and major bookstores (Powell's Bookstore above) in the US, Canada, Mexico and Australia. Man, that feels good!!

Future plans coming up with yet ANOTHER book! "The Magic Art of Justin Hampton"

As you all know, Visual Feast is a HUGE book clocking in at 444 pages. SO big that I needed to put the brakes on how much was added to the book at a certain point. I'm about to get started on a second book! As crazy as that sounds it was all part of the plan from the beginning. Some of you may know that I was one of the original artists of the global gaming phenomenon, Magic The Gathering, back in the day. In fact, I still get invited to Magic conventions all over the world and get asked to sign those old cards regularly since the mid-90's. I'm going to be producing a book of that work including stories, photo reference, sketches, roughs, color comps, the final printed illustrations AND some newly painted versions of select classic cards. It will be a much smaller book and will be much quicker to produce since I'm now a seasoned vet in the art of book design, production and publishing. I'm excited to show off this stuff and launch another Kickstarter. Look for an announcement for that in the coming months. Here's a look at some of the images you will see in the book. 

Magic The Gathering- "Knight of Thorns" custom playmat NOW available! 

In anticipation of the upcoming book I'm offering a new gaming playmat! In late 2025 I was asked to attend a convention in Amsterdam for a Magic group called Knight of Thorns. It conflicted with the appearance that I had around the same time in Italy so instead of an appearance, they commissioned me to create a new painting for a playmat for the event. They wanted something with the theme of the "Knight of Thorns" card art and to have an old school vibe. They wanted some of my old design flavors in there as well so I created an image that mixes my cards from the 1994 sets of Antiquities and Legends with "Reverse Polarity", "Rapid Fire", and "Juxtapose", combined with imagery of Christopher Rush's "Knight of Thorns". Here's a look at the result. This is only my second playmat that I've ever created. They are signed and numbered in an edition. Grab one while they last!

Order here!

Signed: By Justin Hampton 
Edition: AP edition of 25 copies
Dimensions: 14" x 24" x 1/16"
Type: Cloth Top with Rubber Bottom

Thanks for taking a look! Stay tuned for more information about the new book launching on Kickstarter in a few months!

Also, keep an eye out of that PDF and Digital Background release for Visual Feast next week!

Very best,

-Justin

Final Kickstarter shipping update
8 months ago – Fri, Dec 19, 2025 at 02:00:01 PM

Hey all!

As I mentioned last week, I'm putting out this final Kickstarter update on shipping. After a solid week of attacking packing and shipping super hard while fighting one of the nastiest flu bugs I've ever gotten, I'm happy to report that there are only 50 orders left to fulfill. This is after months of processing hundreds of orders one by one while juggling deadlines, kids schedules, travel for work and poster sales with their own shipping fulfillment needs. With Dayquil on board during the day and Nyquil at night, I put in 10 hour days to pull this off. It was exhausting and I'm not quite finished but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Most people will be getting their books for Xmas but not all. This isn't for lack of trying. It's just the luck of the draw. Be assured that everyone will be getting their book before the end of the year. I honestly did my best and pushed through adversity to make it happen. I look forward to wrapping this up and spending some quality time with my friends and family after this weekend. 

Thanks again for believing in this project and embarking on this journey with me. As I've said before, I literally couldn't have done it without you all!  I hope you're all enjoying your holiday season!  Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

Very best,

Justin
