CCCP :

If you ask me, they look more like geese than swans, but whatever.

John A :

This is whack, the dimensions are CLEARLY not 18" x 12". 12" x 18" perhaps but not 18" x 12". w x l everytime mazn.

half this site just got served.
(i'm seeing this this nine months after the fact, so i'm speaking in geological terms)

slater - no worries! Not taking anything as 'bad' :)
Mike - that's one nice poster!

raindog138 :

andy (cody) -
i dont know if this is what you are thinking of, but i did a poster that was pretty much all text. (it was not very clever) it wasnt describing a poster or anything.
i think alex's is fucking great. very clever idea.

David Gee :

Cool. It's win - win.

2004-07-06 16:50:53

slater :

cool, I hear what you're saying, please don't take that comment the wrong way, this is an awesome poster.

2004-07-06 16:32:52

Thee Alex :

I agree Slater, but it would have defeated the point of it to do anything other than the most mundane text.
David Gee - the bands were initially a little worried but now totally love it.

2004-07-06 15:27:40

slater :

This would not have been ruined if you did something artistic to it as long as it was still just type.
I'm thinking something like this:

2004-07-06 15:07:46

philaarts.com :

looks artistic to me.

2004-07-06 14:19:40

David Gee :

Did the bands like it?

2004-07-06 12:47:19

Thee Alex :

Doing anything remotely 'artistic' with this would have completely ruined the point of it. I spent a long time working out which font to use and whether to justify it all.
I wanted it to be as plain as it could possibly be.
Thanks everyone for the nice words!

bdix :

I've always wanted to do a poster "Ad Libs" style.

2004-07-06 12:02:23

slater :

again I like this poster but, what if the type was more interesting like in a richard prince or ed ruscha painting? I know you went with the very straight forward plain approach and that's cool, I'm just thinking what could have made it even more interesting.

whiteyhouston :

great alex... :D

philaarts.com :

you guys all need to have a sit down and have some lattes and discuss pantones.

2004-07-06 11:27:20

Thee Alex :

There have been posters with just text (Mr Flattum did a rather great Folk Implosion one) but I haven't seen one that describes a poster. If there is then I doff my cap to the person who came up with it!

Cody Pomeroy :

I could have sworn that someone has...this looked really familiar to me when I saw it the first time.

2004-07-06 10:08:08

bdix :

Yes, great concept. Honestly, with all the talent on this site, I would've thought someone came up with this a long time ago.

2004-07-06 10:06:53

Cody Pomeroy :

it's interesting and all, but is it genius?

2004-07-06 10:03:56

Delicious :

best poster ever!

2004-07-06 09:32:05

Pat. James Longo :

This is so great. Too bad that one palm tree looks a bit fucked up... great idea and poster.

2004-07-04 19:09:44

feriado :

great. excellent poster.

2004-07-03 12:06:31

Shawny :

i think this is brilliant in concept and execution. seriously, i want a copy of this.

2004-07-03 11:06:42

seripop :

brilliant idea nothing lik a good mind fuck

2004-07-03 09:48:17

Thee Alex :

There is a more 'trad' poster for this show as well. Both are going up but I had to make another one after the promoter wet his pants in fear when he saw this. :)

killingcupid :

Nice colors!

2004-07-03 03:52:43

j.w. :

Am I the only one who can't read this? I can make out Bass Star, and Johnny(?) Marr as band names, but the rest is illegible. WTF? Even the date is a bit tough. July something. 15th, MAYBE!

2004-07-03 01:12:04

Hand Carved Graphics :

genius.
having the swans bending their necks all around to spell "drouthy neebors" must have been very difficult.

2004-07-03 00:05:03

MaximumFluoride :

The text sucks. Should have done it by hand. The image is cool though.

2004-07-02 23:46:43

little mrbill :

It's kind of a take on that XTC album cover from years ago. But it's still quite the ingenious and sweet idea.

2004-07-02 23:42:19

Kurt :

Poster of the week. kick ass.

2004-07-02 21:56:46

vastagh :

dig.

2004-07-02 21:47:16

slater :

I didn't look at the thumbnail this morning when I checked the site. Now that I did I think it's pretty sweet, it's like the ultimate art fag poster. I've come to the conclusion that most of the posters I like are art fag posters.

ferg2001 :

i hope its an inkjet on 8.5x11 copypaper

2004-07-02 16:32:28
