One person’s art is another person’s poison…?
I think it’s quite comical myself, quite cookie to put it another way, maybe ever so slightly childlike, maybe that’s his/her style?!? Maybe that’s why the poster got so many/good comments, because it’s somewhat different from all the ‘older’ styles, a break from the norm?
So, my question is, why shouldn’t such a poster get as many reviews as any other poster?
geeg ~ it’s art, love it or hate it, it’s here to stay.

Gooch,yep i hear what u guys are saying,but there seems to be a lack of understanding about what i've been saying. I realise how what i said about this one being so liked and others being slagged off may've sounded like i was referring to the people who commented on this particular poster;thats not what i meant.I think i've made my point as clearly as i possibly can on this one,i DON'T think this poster is BAD,i don't hate it,in fact i do think it is quite a nice piece,the point i was making is why something like this can be considered good,and other works considered bad,vibe,lure and urself didn't even come into the equation,i was referring to people in general.anyway,can we move on now please mate! |

Ay, ay, Harry. We have different viewpoints on the style. But you did ask why this one got so many (um, two, three?) gushing comments and other ones by "artists at least 10 years older" get "slagged". I just didn't see how liking this one was relative to how those two or three people felt about more detailed works. I understand your frustration, I just question the logic since it comes down to personal taste. |

vibe,regardless of wether or not its SUPPOSED to be a kids drawing,its still a kids drawing,and if kids drawings make great posters,why arent all posters great? that was my point,we obviously differ in our opinions,i like to call a spade a spade y'know. |

Gooch,I here what urself and lure and phil have said about this piece and i thought i was making myself clear in my posts that i wasn't slagging off this poster or saying it was bad,i was merely pointing out the obvious,that it resembles a childs drawing;i have stated time and again my reasons but again the guys who like this piece,automatically turn around and contradict everything i say,as if i have been tearing into this poster with my claws out,i haven't. There are obviously 2 schools of thought here,one of them sees the work as refreshing and beautiful,and the other sees it as a kids drawing with some computerized lettering over the top,if you read my posts you'll find that i havent actually said that this is a poor poster,just a kids drawing thats nothing special.and as for the foaming at the mouth remark,okay maybe i exagerate but please dont take what i say so literally;in saying that,this poster,to me,hardly warrants a B-A-D A-S-S,or a "Jesus".we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. cheers |

yah.... its like i um... well i music from matchbox 20 to system of a down to the beatles... cant always always say why, but i like it..
equate it to musical tastes and it seems to clarify it easier. i have to look over alot of art, and sometimes its just a gut reaction that is the best.
of course complexities and detail can also be a great source for appreciation. i spent hours last night looking at emeks great strokes poster, i want to colour it in! |

Well Harry, I can see you're not budging on your opinions here. That's fine. However, equating liking this with liking dubious art like Jeff Koons or "a pile of bricks" is a ridiculous contention. Philly summed it up nicely. It's something simple--like hearing a new song. It's mostly undefinable and emotional. These things can't be explained in terms of draftsmanship or experience or maturity. It's a response. It's like appreciating Herriman's Krazy Kat (simple, poetic) over Foster's Prince Valiant (realilstic, complex). Sure one can draw rings around the other but I'll take Herriman anyday. That's not navel-gazing it's appreciation.
And geez, it's not to say I don't appreciate wonderful, detailed works--I just don't exclude the other half. |

leave me out of that group mister - i'm no slack-jaw-navel-gazer! :)
i think it's a) a joke. b) an actual kids drawing cleverly used by a designer to capture the performers 'brand' (or less authentically, but possible a trained hand being 'nieve' to again, lend a visual to the performer) Either way i like. |

I knew I'd get a back lash!Firstly I didn't say it mattered that it looks like a child did this poster,I didn't say it wasn't nice and I didn't say there was a rush to slag off "more detailed" artists.I was just viewing this poster objectively,you can refer to pieces like this as being "childlike" or "naive" but once you've cut thru the pretences,the pretences that u've brought to the fore,you're still left with a kids drawing.Don't get me wrong,I think kids drawings can be nice and cute and i like them but thats all,they don't get me foaming at the mouth over what great works of art they make. You guys remind me of a group of middle class bohemians who frequent galleries marvelling and fauning over the great new genius from poland who throws paint over canvases and then wipes his arse on them.This poster isnt BAD,it is NICE and yea,I'll admit,it does work in a way,but come on already,see it for what it is.Love Harry:) |

And Harry, when was there a rush to slag more detailed artists? As far as I can see there are gigabytes devoted to praise of non-simplistic styles on this site. |

why does it matter if a 2 year old drew it? IT'S NICE. some of my favorite drawings have been by kids. they have a wonderful, untainted view of the world, not at all marred by such pretenses as age equalling ability... |

I have to disagree with you on this one Harry. The illustration on this one is cool and very unique to a gigposter.

Okay, 2 year olds cant grasp the concept of shading,are u saying that this is why it DOESN'T look like it was done by a 2 year old? So why make it look like a 2 year old did it then?!c'mon guys,ur all lining up to heap praise on this piece of work when its just a kids drawing,okay maybe not a 2 year old,7 year old then.I'm not saying this poster is BAD i just dont see why ur all getting so weak in the knees over it.The main point of my post was to comment on the phenomena of giving positive comments on something like this,and negative comments on posters that have at least have the quality of someone OVER the age of 10! |

I like the attitude behind this one. The art is pretty inventive, and overall it's pretty atypical for a poster, which in this case is nice. It does look very baseman-ish on the rabbit/kid character, but that's not a bad thing. Honestly the only thing I could do without are the two stars at the bottom, but even those don't really bother me.
Did anyone check out his other stuff? the green one I think is really cool for some reason...I can't quite put my finger on it. Reminds me of old Soviet elympic posters in this book on Constructivism that I have.
The obviousness of the crayon is really cool too...such a totally different feel to it than so many other posters, I bet this really stood out every where it was posted. |

I think the lettering is the most mundane thing about this poster actually. I like the drawing because it's refreshing to see something so innocent and fun in a "gigposter". The execution is more advanced than "a 2 year old" --how many 2 year olds can grasp shading and value? (Not knowing what the band sounds like, I can't comment on whether the idea is good so...style is what I'm basing my opinion on)
Anyhow, sometimes the most simple styles have a great appeal. How many times have people slagged Picasso, Pollack, Jonathan Richman, Punk Rock, etc. by saying "my kid can do that?" If hyper ability to draw/playing 3,000 notes on the guitar was the best measure for artistic merit, the Thomas Kincaide and Yngwie Malmsteen would be the paragons of our civilization. |

Okay,I don't wanna sound like i'm raining on the parade but is this poster really that good? The letterings cool but the picture,although intentionally, looks as tho it was drawn by a 2 year old-how come this one gets great reviews and even poster of the week when all the time,posters that look like they could've been done by someone at least 10 years older,get slagged off?! ;) |
