El Negro Magnifico! :

Wow...I go away for 90 or so minutes and nobody's been disemboweled? WTF? This site is slippin', yo. All kidding aside, some interesting points were raised. Good debate.

Grzeca :

This poster kicks ass, as do all of Dan's

2005-12-20 20:07:57

dan :

goodtimes always wins

2005-12-20 20:03:29

scrojo :

huh. fun debate as allways. obscure vs blatent. in this case: blatent wins. score one for goodtimes. sorry dan but, looking at this as an average pedestrian, i wouldn't stop to read the text. still a damn fine piece of art tho.

2005-12-20 19:23:02

Sash :

I like posters.

2005-12-20 18:38:31

Brent Oliver :

should we start that argument again? this poster is very nice...

2005-12-20 18:36:45

Sash :

seripop's posters are often considered hard to read, and yet are very artistic. good example of pushing the boundary between "art" and "advertisement"

2005-12-20 18:35:39

victor_howitzer :

I agree with Richie. Great Artwork.

2005-12-20 18:16:26

dan :

i'm just the drummer

2005-12-20 18:03:36

RichieGoodtimes :

If it was my band I'd make damned sure you knew it. When, where and who. Instantly.

2005-12-20 17:56:42

seripop :

mmm maybe but considering most of his posters are for his own band i don't really think it's valid in this case.

2005-12-20 17:55:30

RichieGoodtimes :

Sure. Probably does. But I think my point was made.

2005-12-20 17:53:46

seripop :

i think the fact that this poster is for dan's own band gives him carte blanche to do whatever the hell he wants

2005-12-20 17:29:52

Platinum Rich :

this poster is for dan's band so i'm torn. richie's comments apply to so much of the work posted here though. i hardly look at the new arrivals anymore.

RichieGoodtimes :

I'm not having a heart attack. If people wanna make pretty pictures, great. Do it. Don't waste time putting show info on them.

2005-12-19 21:28:49

Sash :

Goodtimes, don't have a heart attack, dude.

If you were driving a spaceship through that sky you would almost definately hit one of those stars. I'm just saying you'd have to be a good spaceship driver is all.

RichieGoodtimes :

Lest we not forget the all important approval of one's peers.

2005-12-19 20:18:30

RichieGoodtimes :

You'll never get it. It's funny. You over intellectualize shit yet you're still a fucking moron. It's perfectly obvious to me what this is. Its not about advertising. It's all about sales of the posters. Make it pretty and make it so that it loks nice hanging in someones house. Fuck compromising and being smart enough to do both. Just make sure they sell.

2005-12-19 20:15:32

Sash :

with the Helms. at the Lizard Lounge. I'll be there

2005-12-19 20:10:02

RichieGoodtimes :

No. You didn't.

2005-12-19 20:08:56

Sash :

what are you talking about? Chris Brokaw rock band at the Helms. I remember the info perfectly.

2005-12-19 20:07:34

RichieGoodtimes :

Others will ignore it entirely. It's a pretty picture. It's unremarkable as an advertisement. As a piece of graphic design...well it's perfect for you tools to have a circle jerk with. 'Oh it's so smart. It draws you in and you just have to read it. We're so smart cause we took the time to read it and Dan is so smart for making a pretty picture and putting a couple words on there.' Bullshit. You'll remember the picture. You won't remember the info WHICH IS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF MAKING A POSTER.

2005-12-19 20:00:10

Sash :

All "gigposter ideology" aside, I think it depends on the viewer's personality. Some will be drawn in out of curiosity enuff to read the text; others will be turned off.

2005-12-19 19:52:14

RichieGoodtimes :

IS it hard to view the world with your head up your ass?

2005-12-19 19:49:36

danielpwilliams :

It's obvious.

2005-12-19 19:47:33

RichieGoodtimes :

No. No it doesn't. That's graphic design school bullshit.

2005-12-19 19:42:13

danielpwilliams :

Being that it is so minimal, it forces you to read the copy, even considering it's size. A wonderful gigposter.

2005-12-19 19:40:59

RichieGoodtimes :

Might as well be an art print. It's useless as a gig poster.

2005-12-19 19:33:56

danielpwilliams :

Oh my.

2005-12-19 19:23:43

2005-11-11 19:38:37
