MrBlonde7 :

I can start calling my arson "custom work" and charge out the a-hole.

guybur :

I believe he used a blowtorch on the whole stack at once.

dan.t :

i believe there was a portion of the run that was really burned. that is custom work and could be expensive.

art chantry :

moma mia! that's a lot of trimming!
a scissors? exacto and straight edge?
what? a die-cut? you crazy? that's expensive!

ImJustRickG :

Needs more deer.

ZombiDeathCloud :

holy hell this is awesome.
I love pieces that defy what a show poster is 'supposed' to look like.

Iron Canvas Studios :

I almost bought this as the merch guy accidentally pulled it out with another poster, Mr. Pike said it wasn't for sale- DAMN!

Amitai Sandy :

I'm an atheist, but still, Emek is a poster god.

Grzeca :

Badass.

RichieGoodtimes :

Rock posters shouldn't require a statement.

2006-02-01 20:56:55

l.stalions :

i think this one should go next to my QOTSA cain's ballroom poster.
i like that it's clean and in emek terms "simple". who's to say what represents high on fire and what doesn't. it's all up to each listener to determine that.

adam swinbourne :

smokin'! a great design.

2006-02-01 16:47:28

MaximumFluoride :

Neat poster. Doesn't make me think of HOF, but like most of Emeks poster's it goes above and beyond.

2006-02-01 14:00:04

aidan :

truly upping the ante.
Emek, everything you said makes complete sense and is well thought out. a beautiful statement, and extremely well executed. a 10!

micropress :

awesomeness.

Rules.

Evil Alice Corp :

that's genius.
this reminds me of seripop's erase errata poster. http://www.gigposters.com/posters.php?poster=7999
i'd like to see more posters like this.

2006-02-01 11:00:35

hoveringobject :

wow. genius.

Tenebrini :

The Willie poster rocks so much harder than this.

Hero Design Studio :

hot damn!!!! (PUN INTENDED!)

VegetableLasagna :

I quit.

El Negro Magnifico! :

It's a stack, and yeah, each one was burned by emek's Zippo.

2006-02-01 10:30:39

Evil Alice Corp :

is this the poster? or is this a picture of a 8 posters on top of each other?
i hope the corner is actually torn! sweet poster.

2006-02-01 10:19:19

Pat. James Longo :

The poster works regardless of the explanation but I like reasons as well. The burned edges are a great element. I certainly would stop to look at this.

EMEK :

skulls and fire doood
and some halftone shadows for you

2006-02-01 07:29:31

RichieGoodtimes :

Great. But what about the band?

2006-02-01 07:26:31

EMEK :

I wanted to do something that called into question the impermanence of Rock Posters as an artform.. their origin is that they were designed to be seen in public spaces and grab one's attention, a lot of work went into making them, but maybe next week they'll be torn down and replaced by something else...and as a paper artifact, a carelessely tossed match and its all just a memory anyways..I also like the idea of a lot of negative space of the clean white paper marred by the actual fire burned edge. "Low Tech Low Brow"..and finally, the long horizontal nature of the piece recalls something else that gets smoked.. to get High on Fire
