Sash :

this is so oddly cool I can't stop looking at it.

Plantweed :

Well Amy, I think this is right in the Estrus tradition, you done right.

amy jo :

hey thanks art. i'm excited to finally meet mister crider next week. i've always been a big fan of the estrus catalog and look. i would have to agree with unitus in that your work is a defining and undeniable influence in terms of the "estrus style." with the exception of a couple of friends that like this look, i can't seem to get anyone to buy anthing from me period.
for anyone in the twin cities that is interested: the dt's, midnight evils and the mistreaters are playing an in-store at aardvark records (NE lowry avenue, off central) friday august 1st 4pm.

"i just want to point out that i have absolutely no say-so in dave's label." -Art
i belive you art, but i gotta say...it just wouldn't feel like an estrus release without your artwork. your work has visually defined that lable.

Michael Apparatus :

The Swords Project are definitely going to be the oddballs on this night.

i just want to point out that i have absolutely no say-so in dave's label. we collaborate on what we collaborate on and that's it. it's his label. also, i want to point out that dave has worked with dozens and dozens of diffferent artists than me. he's even one of the guys who first started hiring coop (in fact coop did his very first 'hotrod mosnter' for dave's gearbox release. coop didn't even know who ed roth was and dave had to send him a bunch of stuff to look at so he could figure out what a hotrod monster even was. funny, huh?)
anyway, amy, i LOVE your work. it makes me wish i could still do stuff like that, but nobody will buy off on this look with me anymore. they all seem to want naked chicks and flames or some such crap, and get dissapointed when i submit something that looks like this. i've got piles of rejected designs that have this feel. i save them because i love them so much. it's my very favorite style i've ever worked in. i wish i could still.

stinkbait :

Yeah I didn't mean commisioned Estrus work just something for an Estrus band.

amy jo :

well... although dave did not officially sanction this poster, he was aware, and i think even suggested that i design the poster for the dt's minneapolis show. i was commissioned by the promoter for this one. the swords project is actually co-headlining but i don't know anything about them and due to time constraints and personal loyalty to estrus, i took it upon myself to make it an estrus type of poster. i know the promoter and i didn't think he, dave or art (hopefully) would mind.

art chantry :

fair 'nuff.
i guess stinkbait would have to clarify his comment for us to discuss this any further.

2003-07-24 12:44:30

Unitus :

yeah. that's what i thought stinkbait was getting at.
my reply simply meant: i know this wasn't comissioned by dave/estrus, and i think the lable name was added as an advertising tool.
it's always a plus in small towns like fargo/moorhead to put "from california" or "K records recording artists" or "legendary member of X" on the flyers to let everyone know that it's not just a local event. something if the audience didn't know the band could relate to.

2003-07-24 12:36:13

art chantry :

well, by that standard, a big chunk of my work is not "estrus" stuff, even though it's for famous events you all think is estrus. dave was very picky about what he'd sponsor. for instance, none of the crockshock shows were estruus events.
is that what you meant?

2003-07-24 12:29:28

DWITT :

yes, she do.

2003-07-24 12:28:28

Unitus :

it certainly meets the style of work you've established at estrus over the years.
umm. amy jo rocks.

2003-07-24 12:27:49

Unitus :

i understand that art.
but i also know the promoter and how he works and i'm sure he asked for it to say ESTRUS, so kiddies in moorhead/fargo that didn't know who the DT's are would get it. (kinda spell it out for the crowd, ya know)...
when i said i din't think it would qualify as "Estrus" stuff, i meant: official, lable commissioned stuff... capice?

art chantry :

unitus -
the dt's is dave crider's current band. you might note that is also sez 'estrus' on the locket thing the gal is holding. also, stylistically, this can be considered in the estrus 'groove.'
so, THAT's probably why stinkbait considered it a n estrus project - mainly because it is.

2003-07-24 11:22:24

Unitus :

i don't know if this would qualify as "Estrus" stuff, i think amy's just using Estrus as a selling point for the bands.
but it's a beauty!

stinkbait :

From the thumb I thought this might have been Tooth's. Nice to see Estrus stuff being done.
