art chantry :

this is taken from the cover of a children's song book from 1960 called "music for young americans". it's a sort of a twisted classic. using it here is commentary, and editorial remark about the music of denali. it's actually rather witty, ya know? since the mid-last century, the ideas behind art have not always been quite a primitive as many on gp seem to desire. nothing is ever as it appears any more.

fantasygoat :

A lot of those Flickr comparisons are bullshit. Like the Cigarette ladies - no one who did those thought they were "getting away" with anything. They needed the cultural connection to the original to make it work! And a lot of them are a serious stretch to consider a "rip".

Paul, I think you know this is very different from the "I Made This" poster.

Dusty! :

wow, kinda crazy, this was 6 years ago now. it appears as though i never said "i made this". I think we/I've been very open in say that we used to do this kind of thing once in a while. Never tried to hide it, but certainly never hi-jacked on a regular basis. As Zach said, we draw everything now or use from legit sources when needed, especially for our illustration work. I believe this was from a 1950's childrens book of verse. That flickr link is funny. That infinite record that those folks did i dont think is a rip off on ours per - say. Also that hand shake one the hand is from the much used Craphound series.

While it was cool to look at, it made me glad I draw stuff (and that's not a diss to anyone that doesn't).

that flickr album is a bit eye opening

Is it like 2003 up in hrr?

2008-09-22 19:33:57

victor_howitzer :

I wouldn't see this band. It looks like an advertisement to a Piano recital or something. No offense to Dusty. It's just not my thing. Then again I don't know who these bands are and I'm assuming they're not the kind of bands I like anyway. Carry on GP, Carry on....

Mikey Jacket :

oh man, I don't want to be responsible for the 500 comments that will develop on this poster. I just always liked this poster and was surprised to see that something so simple would be lifted from something else.

2008-09-22 19:14:49

MaximumFluoride :

I think there are some mutherfuckers up in here that owe Paul Gardner an apology. Pronto.

Michael Apparatus :

"I do so much more than I show here it's not even funny." I'm sure you do. (I really do - sans sarcasm). But, as you know I AM AMERICA. I'm not sure what the term "boutique guys" means but I'm always flattered when anyone finds me attractive.

2008-09-22 19:10:06

RichieGoodtimes :

I do so much more than I show here it's not even funny. You boutique guys are cute. I'm America.

2008-09-22 19:03:39

Michael Apparatus :

Creator of context? What does that mean? I haven't seen anything from you that would even justify making such a funny, made up term. You are funny though.

2008-09-22 19:02:28

ImJustRickG :

Let's clam down. Art says these are cultural artifacts.

2008-09-22 18:59:26

RichieGoodtimes :

No. I am a creator of context.

2008-09-22 18:59:15

Michael Apparatus :

But...isn't that what you do, Richie? Aren't you a "Re-contexter?"

2008-09-22 18:56:34

ImJustRickG :

Yay! I made it into the set!

2008-09-22 18:56:28

whiteyhouston :

you're not blatant enough yet Paul. yet

2008-09-22 18:43:15

RichieGoodtimes :

The 'Re-contexters' know who they are.

2008-09-22 18:14:45

Michael Apparatus :

Who are you talking about? Just the people on that Flickr site or just anyone who isn't you?

2008-09-22 18:12:56

RichieGoodtimes :

Its just too fucking funny. I'd be wary of hiring a ton of you shits to do anything because who fucking knows where the lawsuit would come from.

2008-09-22 18:08:06

OMG SO ARE YOU GUYS!

Weird. unnerving!

2008-09-22 17:50:34

dennyschmickle :

SOME of those are rip-offs, some are homage. The difference has been discussed to death around here. So whatever. But yes, funny.

2008-09-22 17:43:24

MaximumFluoride :

That link gave me many, many laughs. they should make it a permanent site: www.eichelburger.com . Or maybe something like: www.onlycoolpeoplecangetawaywithit.com

2008-09-22 17:39:32

danstiles :

I knew a lot of those, but some were a little surprising

2008-09-22 17:37:09

whiteyhouston :

yeah, that flickr set is not too surprising or dismaying..

2008-09-22 17:34:23

El Negro Magnifico! :

Um, "are" is supposed to be in that sentence somewhere. Need sleep.

2008-09-22 17:18:37

El Negro Magnifico! :

Well, okay. And to be fair to the person that put it together, they aren't passing judgment, and not all of them gigposters. http://flickr.com/photos/24140210@N05/sets/72157607329841191/

I'm not!

2008-09-22 16:44:25

Yeah, I wanna see it too. We're probably on it.

2008-09-22 16:43:25

Tenebrini :

post a link...

2008-09-22 16:30:24

El Negro Magnifico! :

There's a photo set on flickr that has side-by-side comparisons of some gigposters and the original images they are based on. It's quite interesting.

2008-09-22 16:28:20

ImJustRickG :

I *love* when I find the original sources! Not to start a whole thing here (as per Paul Gardner) but finding 50-year-old art and giving it a new context is awesome. This poster rules. Knowing that Dusty found some obscure, forgotten piece of art and gave it a new lease on life makes me like it MORE.

2008-09-22 15:06:21

Zach Hobbs :

Pretty sure Dusty draws everything now...

2008-09-22 15:02:12

Mikey Jacket :

today, I got a little sad when I saw the source image of this at the thrift store.

2008-09-22 12:52:22

i always think about this one

yup. you need it?

Groovy Denali poster. much respect.

2002-12-24 09:38:11

This is real nice.

2002-11-12 08:09:13

Dusty! :

its like portishead and radiohead and fugazi all mixed together with a ton of keyboards and a girl singer. triphop dischord.

2002-11-01 11:55:52

RichieGoodtimes :

Maybe it's chamber music. Chamber music rules!

2002-11-01 11:01:01

MaximumFluoride :

Are Denali Big band music or maybe Jazz? I've never heard them. This looks like Jazz music.

i sorta liked it, but something was off... now i know... nolen had a hand in it.. dammit...

2002-10-31 13:05:12

Dusty! :

unfortuntaly the background color may change on this as we (we being nolen) are printing black and white on some kind of french paper and french has yet to join the mauve revolution. thanks!

2002-10-31 12:44:59

Dan Apparatus :

Hooray for Rockwell! Yeah, this poster is perfect for a show being held in a church. I can already smell cleaning supplies.

2002-10-31 10:55:50

it actually feels like the old music booklets they had in storage in the high school band room... i love the offset dotted lines... all-around sweet. =D
