I want to pat the back of the clique. When's my turn?

Steven Heller :

"The kraken"… now you're starting to get it. These fucks post shit only to suck on each others dicks. Just another vehicle for their "Click" to pat each other on the backs. Saw the show with Conifer and Sulaco this past week and they both "Slayed!" Keep up the work… fuck em.

Bob Caruthers :

The photo source is a doctor, not a nurse. "Country Doctor" Photo by William Eugene Smith 1948 as appeared in Life Magazine.

Ewing :

Brian's been developing his own style for a while now. Check out the 1st piece he posted compared to this piece and you'll notice progress with each poster. Always a step forward. There's a big difference between imitation and emulation.

jay pretty much only does the small o's and raises em up rather than keeping them low. i see what people are saying, but dont really agree. kinda splittin hairs i think. text guidlines or no. great poster. im just concerned why she is ashing in her coffee. and those things will kill ya by the way. look at her.

Frank Lloyd Wright was the first time I noticed this "style" of handwriting, but ultimately it's all handwriting. Some folks are bound to have similar handwriting styles. But can you build a leaky house? That's the question.

i agree with johznA

Looks like a Mercer to me. Nice poster mazn.

ive seen text in this style way before i ever saw a jay ryan.. keep making posters man.

2006-06-07 12:56:51

the kraken :

Thanx guys. Its frustrating to constantly get compared to other artists cause I kinda do what I do with the time I have for the bands I like. Its why I post here so little. I mainly post to promote the bands I like. As far as the art stuff keep comparing. At this point I really have had it. For a site that is basically all artists you'd think it woud be more open minded. Again one of the reasons I dont post here as much and show up to flatstocks. Am I shooting myself in the foot? Probably but I'm still gonna do posters and you can see me at the shows. For me that's what it's about.

i think he has his own voice for sure.

slater :

Zach is wrong on Hoth. Hoth is a system and the old Rebel base was located there.

vastagh :

all type aside. i love and always will love mercers illustration style....

2006-06-07 12:36:02

lil_tuffy :

it's the mercer's trademark babby poop green that let me know it was him rather than jay from the thumbnail.

2006-06-07 11:50:51

danieldanger :

well i dunno, other than the text guide lines, the text doesnt look very ryan to me. and also, i really like mercers stuff, so i can recognize his style and color choices really easily. i knew what this was from the thumbnail, and was stoked because its a nurse, and i collect nurse oriented posters.

2006-06-07 11:48:54

Unitus :

from the thumbnail i thought it was probably Brian Mercer. i was right.

2006-06-07 11:40:41

scrojo :

dan* are you serious ??!?!!? i dig the poster but from the thumbnail i thought it was a jay homage to brian ewing ( based on a great LIFE photo ).

2006-06-07 11:39:28

danieldanger :

the text isnt really ryan-esque at all, all thats tricking you is the sketch "text guide lines" that the letters rest on. the actual letter style isnt anything jays used before, and he rarely uses lower case letters. jays letters are very crisp and slim and consistant, almost made to look like theyre letter pressed sometime.

2006-06-07 11:25:16

Zach Hobbs :

hoth is from chattanooga i think

2006-06-07 10:26:19

jtw :

Love the drawing, but unfortunately 'ryan-esque' was the first thing i thought as well, thanks to the type. It's a shame, because the drawing style is so fresh.

johnmav :

What's not to like?

2006-06-07 01:28:49

Should be Compton's new nickname.

bmethe :

text may be ryan-esque, but the image sure isn't. i dig it.

2006-06-06 14:10:51

perkins :

A bit?

2006-06-06 14:01:01

vastagh :

i dig the image. text is a bit ryan-esque
