Hey thanks.
It is only one halftone. This jpeg is pretty messed up looking. The actual poster is, as Dan mentioned, 26 x 36 so the image is really a bit more abstract/less obvious in person.
I give AA props for making a poster like this... I'm sure a cute little Pedro poster would have people gushing...but they went with their hearts.. Their dirty, messy hearts.
First the icarus line poster and now this.... Them Aesthetic boys is scary......
Maybe you should start including disclaimers on these— not suggested for those with heart problems, women who may be pregnant, children with nervous tics....
Apparently Barnes and Nobel is releasing a box set of the first two Complete Peanuts books discounted, so it's worth waiting. That's all I have to say about this poster.
in those early strips, schulz has charlie brown being more of a trouble maker than a martyr, giving girls hell, and generally being a wise-ass. i was laughing my ass off when i found a collection of early strips when i was in junior high. such good stuff.
Peanuts did indeed rule. It was consistantly the funniest, most heartfelt and honest, and at times the strangest of all the daily comics. Right up to the end, Schulz had them all beat.
i really want the new peanuts book with the first two years of strips. that early stuff is hilarious.
i'm not into using an image of someone's tragic death to sell show tickets, either.
maybe I'm just cranky today, but I've never understood why people like looking at these photos. A friend of mine travelled to Mexico and interviewed all the photographers who take these ( I think ALARMA! was the main magazine?) he compiled this huge book for Feral house(?) and spent years on it and I felt bad once it was finished because I didn't even want to open it.
it just made me want to read Peanuts.
Ohhh, sorry you don't like it Dale. Yeah, it's pretty over the top but his lyrics are just so dark. We really wanted to do something kind of disturbing. In person the accident photo is actually pretty abstract close up just cuz it's so huge.
Don't know if that's a good thing or bad...
Considering the context of the song, it doesn't seem as much as an alarmist image.
But it does function that way, almost by default. Plus, we're all so desensitized to this sort of imagery it's not even that alarming anymore.
wow, an AA poster I hate.
(I normally never feel the need to leave a negative comment) but I could never deal with all this Alarma sort of dead body stuff.
Like this is supposed to make me want to go to a rock show?
