Iron Canvas Studios :

The only crit I can give on this is I think there should be a touch of red in the upper black & grey skull area to completely pull it together (unless there is, kind of hard to tell with that color combo up there) - nice design none the less!

2008-11-19 00:01:04

johnmav :

I know this is completely off-topic, but... I like this poster.

2008-11-18 23:26:56

Lonesome Cowboy Bill :

This is like the cover of a Hubert Selby, jr. book or something...I missed the skull first time I saw it...

2008-11-18 23:24:48

El Negro Magnifico! :

There's a ton of indie comic folks there.

Half the artists I know seem to be moving to Portland.

I just found out i'm gonna be in LA for a Jonas Brothers show in a couple of weeks.

The fact that I am THEE HOTTEST NEW POSTER ARTIST and living in SF, we trump all.

2008-11-13 12:01:03

stinkbait :

He's THEE HOTTEST NEW POSTER ARTIST!!

2008-11-13 11:56:49

Sounds like PVTO has been hanging out with GPB.

2008-11-13 11:53:57

stinkbait :

Chicago has some shit going on. If they aren't better than Austin they are just as good. We have a mess of dudes here though. No other cities are producing as much as our two. Some are close but...

2008-11-13 11:51:01

I'm the VOICE OF REASON! you phuckin' phony...

2008-11-12 21:56:13

Carlos Artest :

Seattle rules yr face. Once again I have to be the voice of reason. We have a lot of foot traffic so there are cool street fliers. Posters seem more few and far between but our xerox stuff on poles melt eyes.

2008-11-12 21:39:08

ricv64 :

Nope , SF

2008-11-12 19:08:27

Chicago!?!? hello?

What? 120 comments ALREADY? Sheesh, I step away for TWO DAYS and you people go apeshit.

2008-11-12 17:44:07

Tenebrini :

"Seattle vs Minneapolis print show in both cities!" That would be interesting.... or maybe not.

2008-11-12 16:45:27

VonDada :

Richie needs a hug.

2008-11-12 16:37:26

100degrees :

hah, just having some fun... seriously though, I'd love to see a Seattle vs Minneapolis print show in both cities!

2008-11-12 16:06:42

MaximumFluoride :

Sorry Richie. I'm a giant loser.

2008-11-12 15:53:04

Tenebrini :

"i mean northwest posters > midwest posters"
That's just plain stupid.

2008-11-12 15:47:15

MaximumFluoride :

Sorry Richie. I'm a giant loser.

2008-11-12 15:40:05

RichieGoodtimes :

Best of luck actually seeing Fisher on your trip to LA.

2008-11-12 15:26:41

Mike. Beers. Soon.

crosshair :

drink me

2008-11-12 15:12:52

100degrees :

i mean northwest posters > midwest posters, not the terrain... and this poster still appeals to me

2008-11-12 15:06:44

stinkbait :

well played sir! I was going to bring them but it's not worth an extra $400 to fly them shits out.
They love running down a beach though

2008-11-12 14:12:04

MaximumFluoride :

Bring your dog so my kids can throw it into a burning building.

2008-11-12 13:12:31

VonDada :

I love L.A.

2008-11-12 12:57:27

stinkbait :

I like this poster. I'll be in LA next month. Talking to you Fisher!

2008-11-12 12:34:07

ricv64 :

Walter Hopps was a uncontrolable drunk according to some SF gallery members of the Ferus

2008-11-12 11:24:57

weathermaker :

oh that movie is great! we showed it at moca when we had "collecting collections" up. but really, can you imagine being 21 and teaching upper class money at ucla why they should buy the art you are showing? ferus was a brilliant op.

2008-11-12 11:21:11

Ron Liberti :

i like this tuff , i't's got a K records feel that i've always been a sucker for....very nice.
i just netflixed a good doc about the la art scene in the late fifties/60's called " the cool school" about the ferus gallery and the people surrounding it including some great artists like Wallace Berman , Billy Al Bengston ,Ed Ruscha and many others....i really enjoyed it.

ricv64 :

colors remind me of the Cali flag

2008-11-12 07:30:02

VonDada :

I like that Tuffy used "banal" in a GP post. That'll go over some heads.

2008-11-12 07:11:35

ajosephb :

someone needs to get down on my johnson

2008-11-11 22:34:01

lil_tuffy :

I'm so glad that I'll be the recipient of the most banal 100 comment poster ever. I'm sure Richie will find it amazingly appropos.

2008-11-11 21:56:50

VonDada :

Gina's right about the foot traffic. You see posters on Melrose and up and down Vermont in Los Feliz and that's about it. The only posters you see on the street are the big admats for big popular acts (mostly R&B and Rap) taped to light poles.

2008-11-11 20:11:04

Zach Hobbs :

you guys are gonna solve the world's problems.

2008-11-11 19:44:51

weathermaker :

in another city you would see 10 times the posters you see in la, screen printed that is. cities like chicago or montreal, quite a bit more.

2008-11-11 19:31:36

whiteyhouston :

LA has the best web banners though

2008-11-11 19:09:45

MaximumFluoride :

The East Bay is my least favorite place I have ever been in my life. I hate it. From Milpitas all the way up to Richmond sucks.
I see posters in LA frequently. Not sure what the hell you all are talking about. There were two rad posters for the Corrupted/Asunder show on Friday.

2008-11-11 18:56:00

ricv64 :

actually The East Bay is pretty rad around 34th & Hollis, it has the best Bar B Q in the Bay Area too . HI SWAMPY

2008-11-11 18:52:16

weathermaker :

no great poster art because there is no walking traffic. i've done a lot of posters in la, and while i'm not going to say i'm wonderful or anything, i don't think i'm bad. clubs don't want posters here. bands do, so it depends.
on other la ideas...la can be wonderful and it can be really depressing. the quality of people lacks for me on the whole when compared with chicago or soemthing, but i have tons of friends of love on the same token. best food in the country. the weather isn't great. the hot is dry and the smog is sticky. no good air here. it's really a very strange place, vast and you couldn't learn everything about it in 10 years of living here. midwest is beautiful, it just gets cold. there's nothing like wisconsin, biggest skies outside of the desert. let's see what haven't i covered yet.......
oh this poster!

2008-11-11 18:31:11

MaximumFluoride :

I actually like this poster. Not exactly what I would expect for rancid though

2008-11-11 18:29:06

swampviking :

Comparing San Francisco to LA is just dumb. That said, why in the hell has this turned into a thread on what city is better....this is a place for the poster comments.

2008-11-11 18:22:47

MrBlonde7 :

what.

2008-11-11 18:00:01

MaximumFluoride :

You just said the East Bay is spectacular. everything you say from here on out is invalid. The East bay is the least spectacular place on the planet.

2008-11-11 17:57:42

MaximumFluoride :

The hippie population here is contained in one area know as Topanga Canyon. That way they can't bread and infect the rest of the culture here. Yet another reason LA is better.

2008-11-11 17:56:46

MrBlonde7 :

Right now we're getting into the rain season, though. That will blow. SF proper has shite weather often. East Bay is spectacular. I feel like the sun is always shining on us. Well, except for today.

2008-11-11 17:55:38

MrBlonde7 :

We have less silicone breasts and more hairy vegans. Take that how you will.

2008-11-11 17:54:15

MaximumFluoride :

I have lived in both places. I stand by my statement. The weather alone makes LA better.

2008-11-11 17:51:41

MrBlonde7 :

Fish is HELLA WRONG
HELLA

2008-11-11 17:47:32

Zach Hobbs :

It's chilly and raining in Chattanooga. Hey City-Experts, should I jog or ride the stationary bike?

2008-11-11 17:13:13

Zach Hobbs :

LA is fun. This thread is kinda homo-core.

2008-11-11 17:11:28

MaximumFluoride :

the only single thing SF has on LA is public transportation. LA is better in every other way.

2008-11-11 16:40:35

ricv64 :

yeah a transplant bailed on SF , never heard of that before . LA still steals our water

2008-11-11 16:36:36

perkins :

Why you gotta be a dick?

2008-11-11 16:34:02

M.P.H. Design :

and Tuffy to answer your original question, this poster is boring. Distressed color fields and jumpy type is about as un-imaginative as it gets. You have way better shit. Were you in a time crunch on this one?

2008-11-11 16:19:32

M.P.H. Design :

Wow, look what I started...
Here's my rant on LA: I grew up in LA and then moved to SF and NYC for a while. But I'm back in LA and loving it. You know what makes LA awesome besides the perpetual great weahter? You can literally do anything, see anything, be anything you want here. There is more diversity here than in any place on the planet. You have to go out of your way to find shit, but when you do, its a unique experience that can't be found anywhere else. Also, its not sheltered. NYC and SF have become so hemogonized, safe, predictable and yuppie that they've become boring. Plus we have hands down the best cuisine in the world. The world's best Mexican, Korean, Chinese and Thai food are found here. And the music scene is great. So why no great poster art? It baffles me.

2008-11-11 16:14:42

craig :

i like the midwest. but what the fuck do i know?

2008-11-11 14:28:03

Tenebrini :

"northwest > midwest!" I have to agree. I'm not into ice fishing or snowmobiles. I wish there was a good mountain nearby for snowboarding.

2008-11-11 14:23:20

100degrees :

northwest > midwest!...

2008-11-11 13:41:57

Zach Hobbs :

I like this.

2008-11-11 13:39:13

VonDada :

Shut it.

2008-11-11 13:33:29

philaarts.com :

detroit!!! right gais??!!

2008-11-11 13:25:40

8ball :

I grew up in SoCal, L.A. proper when I was younger. Don't miss it really..but I did a lot of crazy shit out there..poster ain't bad but Dr. Know deserves a better one...

2008-11-11 13:15:50

VonDada :

I think if there was a Diesel Fuel print type place in L.A., people might take the L.A. poster scene more seriously. But, Mike's right, tacos rule. El Gran Burrito at 3AM on a Saturday is the best place to eat.

2008-11-11 13:10:45

Carlos Artest :

LA is a great taco town. I don't hate LA, I've got family there.. but I always just think of rhcp sorta posters when I think of LA..

2008-11-11 13:08:39

Robbie Fuct :

there.

2008-11-11 12:36:07

Robbie Fuct :

whats with their being like 17 venues on sunset?

2008-11-11 12:35:59

ricv64 :

LA is no Madrid

2008-11-11 12:17:15

MaximumFluoride :

My best friend lives in North Hollywood. I spend a lot of time there. The Arts District is awesome.

2008-11-11 12:03:03

Tenebrini :

"The best thing about LA is the tacos". Agree.

2008-11-11 11:49:57

MaximumFluoride :

I can think of 3 poster galleries and at least 3 retail stores that carry posters here in LA. How many cities can say that? Not many. Not sure why people think the poster scene is weak here. I think most people have a completely unrealistic concept of what this city is like.And yes, Carlos... out Tacos rule. And you can get them 24 hours a day on every other street corner. How could anyone hate a place like that?

2008-11-11 11:48:05

Carlos Artest :

The best thing about LA is the tacos, not their posters.

2008-11-11 09:43:04

Tenebrini :

I like visiting L.A. the few times I get to go out there on shoots. Might liked to have lived there before I got settled into a family but I've no interest in living there now.

2008-11-11 06:32:07

VonDada :

I love L.A. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. For reals.

2008-11-11 02:18:10

whiteyhouston :

I nearly shit my pants with rage the last time I was in LA.

2008-11-10 20:47:40

ajosephb :

death cab for cutie?

2008-11-10 20:39:01

EdGossage :

I love every one of you.

2008-11-10 20:32:33

MaximumFluoride :

"besides, everyone knows the midwest is best."
Which is why LA is full of people from the mid-set I guess.

2008-11-10 20:02:22

Michael Apparatus :

I like LA. Oh, and Rancid. And this poster works well.

2008-11-10 19:54:47

i live in florida. im miserable.

2008-11-10 19:49:16

ricv64 :

LA steals our water

2008-11-10 19:23:27

Joanna Wecht :

LA is a fantastic place to live. People here share the dream of opportunity and adventure in a climate of year-long outdoor living, especially remarkable for its winters with lots of sunshine. The region has a unique combination of ocean, beaches, desert and mountains.

2008-11-10 19:18:20

Robbie Fuct :

the west coast would be alot cooler if it was the east coast.

2008-11-10 19:03:29

MaximumFluoride :

I have very much enjoyed Los Angeles over the last 2 years.

2008-11-10 19:00:59

Robbie Fuct :

just kidding mike.

2008-11-10 18:57:58

Robbie Fuct :

statistics show that mike fisher doesnt run into the stereotypical la person because he is a stereotypical la person.

2008-11-10 18:57:46

Baloney Boy :

von dada, don't you mean DRIVE the other way?

2008-11-10 18:54:38

VonDada :

For a place that is supposedly a big music hub, it lacks in a big poster printing company. Someone needs to fix that shit. La Luz is a great gallery. Ghettogloss, too. And, yeah, it's not hard to avoid the douchetards in L.A. Just look for the cocked baseball hats and shirts with tattoos on them and walk the other way.

2008-11-10 18:41:28

swampviking :

I once got REALLY drunk in LA and had chili burgers with Fisher. True story.

2008-11-10 18:41:25

motownjc :

even on the shittiest business trip, i've never gone to LA w/o having something fun/funny happen. i like the place. it's an industry town like detroit.

2008-11-10 18:38:48

VonDada :

ENM: Roscoe's it is. Anytime.

2008-11-10 18:37:13

MaximumFluoride :

LA fucking rules. I have no idea what the hell you people are talking about. There are art galleries everywhere. Full of great stuff. I'd put LaLuz up against any gallery in the country.
My friends here are awesome. We have fun always. Rarely do I run into anybody here who fits this stereotype of what people think LA people are like. But that is because I know how to live here. I know where to go and who to hang out with. I'm sure Richie can back that up as I can guess when he's down here his people know how to live here as well. It's not hard to avoid the douchebags
it's like any other place you go or live. There is good and lame. You just need to know the ways around the lame.

2008-11-10 18:35:27

Baloney Boy :

why not, they've moved every other industry abroad.

2008-11-10 18:22:01

ricv64 :

They could move the industry to Vancouver

2008-11-10 18:16:55

Baloney Boy :

in America, image is everything. or, to put it another way, America is nothing BUT an image - a mass hallucination that we believed in for awhile.

2008-11-10 18:15:49

perkins :

Except the fall of LA wouldn't cause the demise of America, only the demise of a big chunk of our image.

2008-11-10 18:07:03

Baloney Boy :

perkins, what you said about Hollywood is true for America at large. it's the decline & fall of the empire, and LA is Rome! i happen to photograph beautifully, so i'm not worried about a thing....

2008-11-10 18:03:51

perkins :

I agree with that 100%. Austin and Texas in general likes to talk about itself. It gets old.

2008-11-10 17:58:41

RichieGoodtimes :

I feel the same way about Austin.
At least LA knows it's full of shit.

2008-11-10 17:53:23

perkins :

It's an interesting spectacle to visit, much like a sideshow.

2008-11-10 17:47:10

El Negro Magnifico! :

If I ever go to L.A., it'll be about gallery visits, and hanging out with Von and Fisher at Roscoe's. We're gonna have to make that happen.

2008-11-10 17:44:18

perkins :

Screw the Lakers. Who care about the Dodgers. USC can blow me. Don't even get me started on how the city can't hang onto an NFL franchise, much less muster up enough interest to respond to a deadline when they're offered a brand new one. Hollywood is nothing short of fascinating, a little bubble of Babylon excess where pretentious people care only about themselves and whether they photograph well. I couldn't believe the thickness of the brown cloud hanging over L.A. that I saw from the plane recently. Fucking cesspool of human recklessness. It's really no surprise that there's apathy toward poster art, especially since there's apathy toward almost everything else.

2008-11-10 17:29:02

guybur :

bluhg. I lived in LA also and there just isn't any response, support, etc...for the fine art people (fine people, not fine art) around that town. the town just ain't overly interested en masse. boob? where boob?

If anything... I didn't go designy enough for rancid's new look... http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/59/l_bb0ee9020bc94a0db4de63c091390e0b.jpg

I'm from LA.
Fisher's from San Jose.

2008-11-10 17:02:37

andydiesel :

this is a great poster.
i don't think really doesn't fit the bands very well.

2008-11-10 17:01:01

lil_tuffy :

No one was ripping on LA artists.... all of those people have lived in LA but I don't think any of them are actually natives. Tara and Emek no longer live there.

2008-11-10 16:58:30

John A :

fuxx yo LA

2008-11-10 16:58:21

defencedesign :

Who's the boob who's ripping on LA? There are plenty of good poster artist in LA. Aren't Michael Motorcyple, Tara McPherson, Shepard Fairey, and Emek all from LA.

2008-11-10 16:54:42

ricv64 :

the skull is pretty cool

2008-11-10 16:46:28

Whoa John A sounds like he doesn't care for Rancid

I blame Avril Lavigne.

2008-11-10 16:29:37

VonDada :

This is so true.

2008-11-10 16:20:45

guybur :

this looks way lovely in person.
LA is dog chocolate central for posters because LA sucks for making posters, not because of the posterers but because of LA. It is hard to understand considering the wealth of pop culture horror that LA doesn't do much to support the poster life.

2008-11-10 16:19:06

RichieGoodtimes :

This sucks for these bands.

2008-11-10 16:07:39

perkins :

I like this, especially the subtle skull. I wish the top wasn't cut off so straight though. Fuck L.A.

2008-11-10 15:58:41

VonDada :

As an L.A. poster artist, I have to say, I don't do a lot of posters for L.A. Weird.

2008-11-10 15:56:42

Tenebrini :

I like this one MUCH better. http://www.gigposters.com/poster/88989_Mc_Chris.html You should send me one.
