tender buttons (k8 and zack from kill me tommorrow) ended up playing the show on the 22nd, which made this an even better show. japanther is one of the best bands ive ever seen.

Yep, a tumescent chicken and two eggs wedged inside a henhouse. Considering the drips, I guess she's excited.

ferg2001 :

2004-12-07 21:01:38

RichieGoodtimes :

Ferg said to do your own thing. He didn't say nothing about fucking other people.

2004-12-07 20:28:41

andydiesel :

I agree with Ferg, fuck what other people have to say.

2004-12-07 20:27:01

2004-12-07 17:43:21

RichieGoodtimes :

Looks out of register to me.

2004-12-07 17:39:18

zeloot :

..i think its a provocation..or seripop themselves who are trying us out :-? ...i also think its a really good poster..before knowing the artist-name

2004-12-07 17:38:36

RichieGoodtimes :

Drop out.

El Negro Magnifico! :

Porn is an influence of mine, too. My classmates have a problem with that.

2004-12-07 17:36:22

RichieGoodtimes :

and evil.

2004-12-07 16:51:12

RichieGoodtimes :

Oh yeah. Thanks Ferg. My influences are beer and porn.

2004-12-07 16:47:54

gun sho :

this poster doesn't look like a FT poster NEARLY as much as it looks like a seripop poster. yeah, there is a pretty vast scene that revolves around these particular bands and the aesthetic is generally rooted the naive-drawings neo-pyschedelia pop culture detritus type stuff like www.paperrad.org and other sources that seem to revel in their art-school dropout obscurity. this stuff is starting to come to the surface from the underground, but i think that seripop has done more to generate quality in that sort of work than any of their so-called predecessors. obvioulsy seripop draws an influence from that scene and so does devon. we all have influences and that's how design/art continues to flow. the MAJOR problem is exactly what jason said. it's when people get into a stylistic rut. that's essentially why i'm calling attention to devon's imitation and not encouraging it. seripop has created new channels for that sort of work to flow through and people like devon have picked up on those channels. if new work is simply a pale imitation of it's influences then it stagnates and lowers expectations. honestly, i don't think that the art in the avante-garde noise rock scene needs to be any more stagnent and self-referential than it's already become. that's why i want to see someone with devon's energy and enthusiasm, really try to push the boundries the same way seripop has.

ferg2001 :

beer dude..stay focused

2004-12-07 16:45:11

RichieGoodtimes :

I fucking keep forgetting who my influences are.

2004-12-07 16:38:15

8ball :

Every artist should rip off every other artist's style multiple times so everyone could stop pissing and moaning and bypass the 'influence' argument completely. Or quit.

needles :

a little birdy told me yannick's nome de plume is Devon Varmega. that's what i heard.

2004-12-07 16:33:39

ferg2001 :

..well, maybe some doubt...

2004-12-07 16:31:57

ferg2001 :

i have no doubt that is true

2004-12-07 16:29:52

gun sho :

if there where never a ft. thunder, there would still be a seripop. FT's influence on chloe and y is no more of a factor than chantry's influence on them.

2004-12-07 16:23:43

gun sho :

seripop's work has evolved into something that is very indentifiable as thier own style. their work is the sum of it's parts and some of those parts are recognizable. i don't agree with jason's comment that people were doing the same "style" years ago that chloe and y are doing today. there seems to be this idea that even what seripop is doing isn't original, and that's not the case. besides some distance referance to brinkman or chippendale's stuff in their illustrative style, and stuff like mid-sixties french protest posters, i haven't seen anyone make a significant comparison to other artist's work. yet, when those folks insist that devon's influences are merely rooted in those same influences that have created seripop's style, they sponge the comparison with suggestions that it's been done before. it hasn't been done before. bottom line is that devon's work has completely changed in a very short amount of time and that quick change isn't the biproduct of an evolution. it's an imitation. this poster is great but again it looks like a seripop to me. that is my initial impression and first impressions mean a lot. A LOT of people start out by imitating. it's a fact. the only way to push that evolution is to acknowledge that fact. look at chloe and yannick's early posters, they are pale reflections of what they've evolved into. devon's posters are bound to make that transition too at some point, but for now, as much as devon might be a rad guy and have skills, this stuff is still looking like seripop to a whole lot of people. on that note, yeah, it might not matter what other people think, but this site is a virtual artist commune. there are renowned people on here who have expert knowledge in this medium and really know what they are talking about. sometimes it's worth reflecting on the advice of others who have been doing something that you love longer than you have.

im interested to see how the next one looks... hopefully youll take into consideration some of these comments

2004-12-07 15:52:12

jasoncross :

its called a style get used to it...that is why i never wanted to stick to style...it becomes a crutch...this is good for this style though...which has existed for a very long time...even before seripoppers were born.

2004-12-07 15:32:33

kozik :

I really like their stuff and could give a flying floop about where they fit into the Grand Scheme. their stuff is always relaxing on the ol Glazzies.

2004-12-07 13:04:07

KULICK :

Im not saying that seripops work isnt unique but I have seen alot of similar stuff. im sick of everyone saying that people copy seripop when they could be copying Deanne Cheuk. or god forbid..doing thier own work.

2004-12-07 12:43:21

Steve H :

theres a definite improvement...keep it up old bean :mrgreen:

2004-12-07 11:57:39

Steve H :

ha, just realised this is the same guy who emulated seripop last time...oh well, i stand by what i said..develop ur own style man

2004-12-07 11:57:13

Steve H :

i actually love seripops stuff, i was just joshing...the thing about this poster is that it works, its not just a blind attempt at emulating someone, its got its own merits..id like to see more people develop their influences and not base a career on trying to look like someone else...but as this poster stands, its okay

2004-12-07 11:52:49

[301STUDIOS] :

I'd have to say from an outsiders standpoint, that this, and the last one do look like serious biting. Are there no styles that aren't taken? Come on.

2004-12-07 11:49:52

Dance Party :

no i get it. im a sloppy drawer...i wish i could do clean design.

2004-12-07 11:40:33

Jermaine :

Chloe, what are you 'UGH'ing about? Cause it looks like yall's work? Seriously, is that why? Cause yall should be flattered with this type of stuff... Dont deter imitation. HOPE that you'll always have imitators. There are artists working out there who'd give their hands for that...

2004-12-07 11:38:46

Steve H :

yes deforgoe, you aswell

2004-12-07 11:38:02

hit and run :

Not sayin anything is wrong with it. But when I look at it, I see seripop. I don't care who is influenced by who. I like it all.

2004-12-07 11:37:24

deforgeo :

um. . .

2004-12-07 11:37:08

Steve H :

type aside, if this were by one of the "established" gp designers this comment page would be totally different and y'alld be moseying over to paypal to get ur hands on it within the next 10 minutes

2004-12-07 11:35:59

Steve H :

2004-12-07 11:30:44

Steve H :

2004-12-07 11:30:21

seripop :

ugh

2004-12-07 11:29:41

Steve H :

works well i think..its got the obvious influences but its good in its own right, the 3d effect has been achieved well; at least its just not drawn badly for the sake of looking punk...and by that im not talking about seri..im a fan too..

2004-12-07 11:28:28

whiteyhouston :
