Obituaries: Vancouver Concert Poster Designer Bob Masse, Calypso Legend Mighty Sparrow

This week we also acknowledge the passing of Urban Verbs frontman Roddy Frantz.

Bob Masse, a renowned Vancouver artist and concert poster designer, died on Sept. 21, at age 81.

His passing was announced via a Facebook post from Bob Masse Studios. Its obituary reports that ''Bob was a lifelong illustrator who, encouraged by his parents, attended the Vancouver School of Art. In 1965, a class practicum sent him walking into the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to offer a free poster for an upcoming Bob Dylan show. It was the start of a career that would eventually put his name among the greats of West Coast concert poster art.''
