cleverkarate :

Got it today, my first of Tara's. Holy shit, the jpeg does it no justice. It's simply amazing and seriously beautiful. The pale blue and metallic silver are schweet!

Smoove B :

Just got this one. I knew when I saw it I wanted it. So clean, so nice. The little details and the border...sweet.

2004-02-16 08:30:55

Brendan Jordan :

I need this one. I want to frame this, and the Built to Spill one with the kids in the layground and hang them together. Just thinking in text form, sorry.

piemel :

god tara... i'll have to talk to you one day about how to get a painting and some sketches

Tara McPherson :

you know, i had it thinner and i thought it looked too thin, so i changed it. if i could i'd show the other version. i like this better. i went back and forth on it for a while. it's a strange spot to be in....being a painter trying to design things, like, technically design things to make text fit. i've never thought of myself as a designer even though i 'design' posters. normally in my feelance art, that is left up to another person (with my input of course). so i'm still learning everyday, but ultimately, i trust my own intution as to what looks good and what doesn't. and i know that not all people will agree with my judgement calls, but that's my decision as an artist, and it's what makes my art, my art

ROb Weychert :

You know, I think the border is too heavy. The illustration, colors, and lettering are awesome, and not incompatible with an ornate border; I just wish it was a little thinner.

snoobar :

WOW!!!
i think i'm in love!!!.......with the poster I mean :oops: :roll:

Tara McPherson :

dan :heart: thank you
i read something about the shin's saying where they got their band name from, and he said it was a family he knew or had heard of. something like that. so i took that whole disfunctional family vibe when thinking of what to do for them.

2004-01-21 20:21:21

Grzeca :

Ive looked at this poster about 50 times today. Perfect.

alex HDQ design :

He's got some great stuff, very smooth and well blended, like a good coffee

2004-01-21 19:50:18

Tara McPherson :

cool, i didn't get very far into the site but yes that looks rad! there's another artist who also does covers for vertigo with me.... james jean .... and he gets that effect also. though i'm not sure how he does it i think it's jamesjean.com ...anywho his stuff rocks.

alex HDQ design :

Very designery but check it out.

alex HDQ design :

No thats cool, ive been trying to create the same effect recently there's a web site iv'e seen recently that is very much in the vien of the "ink Bleeding " style i'll try and find it

2004-01-21 19:39:25

Tara McPherson :

i really like the look that vellum gives, or like how ink sinks into the paper like how aurthur rackham drawings do. so i figured out a way to mimic it.
thanks for noticing!

2004-01-21 19:36:20

alex HDQ design :

This is great , i love the outline effect on the borders and "the shins", looks really nice almost like it's sinking into the paper

2004-01-21 19:14:15

Tara McPherson :

i heard from andy that i got some band lovin on this...they stopped by diesel fuel and got a sneaky preview!

2004-01-21 19:11:52

Brendan Jordan :

This is so nice. If I have the cash I'm going to buy one.
And all I wanted to do this month was a Shins poster. I couldn't contact anyone.

2004-01-21 12:59:01

Pedini :

So nice! You have a knack for successfully using ornate borders and I love it.

andydiesel :

Leia, you will be broke then. :D :D

2004-01-21 12:22:58

Leia :

If you do make the stickers I will be so broke! I am a sticker-fiend.

better yet...Colorform playsets

Leia :

Tara-- you should make stickers to sell along with your posters at these shows. Like hello kitty/sanrio style. I envision a clear sticker sheet with each of those balloons & the little boy on it. Soooooooo awesome!

Darren Grealish :

I love Tara's new little baloon characters. the evil one is cool. He's got that "Up to something" look. Shifty indeed!

2004-01-21 10:11:23

j.o.s.h.u.a. :

Man alive! Those baloons are great. Especially the evil one. Shifty little bastard.

i thought magic magicians broke up.

Darren Grealish :

The top baloon character is an evil baloon.
