Justin was also prominently highlighted in the documentary movie ‘American Artifact, the rise of American rock poster art.’ The film is in the permanent collection of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Hampton’s collaborative poster for the movie with his cohorts in Post Neo Explosionism (or PNE) was also added to the museum’s archives. Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) has archived countless numbers of his prints and originals for their permanent museum collection as well.

His influences are pop culture based from street art and Skate-Punk to comic book greats like Jack Kirby as well as the Post-Impressionist work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Justin has designed posters for a who's who list of the music industry since the mid 90's. Hampton designed artwork for the global viral sensation, the ‘Grey Album’ for Danger Mouse. His rock posters have also appeared in various television shows and motion pictures as well.
