Mosdentlyn: I've eatin so much acid in my day. Mushrooms, Peyote, MDA, MDMA all that shit. I stopped one day for good the time I thought it was a good idea to yell out a window on the Haight at 4:00 am "HELP! HELP! HELP!" I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Couldn't stop laughing. At my current and rather advanced/wise age I now know the potential harm I may have caused by my loss of fry control. I pulled the plug on it and haven't looked back.
You can't see in the jpeg but they both have a gold tooth for added flavor. I should've made the hook like solid gold all shiny and stuff. This girl told me the their teeth scared her. It's all about mustache's, big ugly teeth, turtle necks, side parted hair and white belts pulled up by your navel.
What's not to love? The pastel pallette, the naive lettering, the monobrows, the belts over the sweaters, the hook, the pleased expressions, the subtle swishy vibe... Lovely, simply lovely.
Thanks Leia, yeah it started out as a poster for AIR but was deamed too French/Gay by the House of Blues. French? So I just snagged it for the Cowboy Junkies. It still had to go through the approval process with the band and venue so I guess they liked it. Poor bastards. They're the ones who have to live with it for the rest of their lives. :mrgreen:
I love this even though it doesn't quite fit the Cowboy Junkies music-- then when I saw it was a Grealish? what the--? really awesome Darren, you rule.
this poster makes me chuckle. it is interesting to see talented designers like Darren using a low-fi approach. like, if there was no info with this poster I may assume it was done by some clueless geek and a basket of markers on the kitchen table. but the humor is just twisted enough to show a higher level of geek chic that does not occur in nature.
