ok - I'm glad that's settled.

boadicea :

are you sure you have a special purpose? and you are not a suffering fuckhead?

thespecialpurpose :

Hi. This is Chris from 'The Special Purpose'. First off, Sei Rey thought of this poster after going to one of our shows and enjoying our cover of the theme from Super Mario Brothers. I can guarantee that he never saw whatever magazine is in question till well after this poster was completed. Believe it or not, some artists still rely on good old fashioned inspiration and not design magazines to come up with their ideas, and what the fuck is wrong with paying homage to great pop culture icons/visuals in your posters anyway??? This is a gorgeous, simple, effective, cool little poster that is a bit of an inside joke to those who know the band…haters can suck it.

Mr. Rutten would think we're all a bunch of pussies for continuing this.
Then he'd punch us all in our livers.

dethink :

So wait...using someone's pixel art from a collection of font dingbats from a video game is totally, completely different than lifting art from a video game?
HEAD ASPLODE.
It's a coincidence. Get over yourself.

Heh..."Sariyevo". :D

2006-11-19 19:06:15

Gregory :

1) You DONT know me, this is the internet douchetard
2) Those monsters are from a typeface, not the cover of Grafik magazine
3) After collaborating with Seripop, Zeloot and Duval, I couldn't give a shit what you think
Thanks for your interest!

Bigtoe :

Hypocrates? He was a Greek physician born in 460 BC on the island of Cos, Greece. He became known as the founder of medicine and was regarded as the greatest physician of his time. He rejected the views of his time that considered illness to be caused by superstitions and by possession of evil spirits and disfavor of the gods. I think what Sariyevo is saying is that he appreciates you ill mokes straightening his shit out.

i took the hyocratic oath

What's a hypocrate? A crate of hypodermic needles?

2006-11-19 06:40:28

seireyho :

Haven't seen the issue before now, but the reference was to a the mario song that t.s.p. play. sorry to offend gig posters people

ImJustRickG :

"Digital piss-take" is a cool phrase.

2006-11-17 16:11:43

ZELIG :

I thought it was a digital piss-take on that Plastic Ono Band cover.

2006-11-17 16:09:12

ImJustRickG :

Oh, I remember that Ames / Eicherberger dust-up.
Whoo, that one was a doozie!

Thank you Mario. But our poster is in another castle!

this website cracks me up.

perkins :

It's a fucking CLOUD. If a retard drew a cloud, it would look just like a cloud drawn by someone with a PHD.

2006-11-17 16:00:29

fantasygoat :

If it looked like a retard drew it you guys would be blowing your load all over it.

2006-11-17 15:59:10

hi geeeeeene.

frostbite :

i am gene simmons. frostbite's just my screen name in case you haven't figured that out yet

2006-11-17 15:50:39

danstiles :

40! almost halfway to becoming a good poster, no matter what you guys think

2006-11-17 15:46:38

perkins :

Who the fuck would want to steal a couple of clouds?

2006-11-17 15:46:32

evanmarnoch :

no you didn't.
gene simmons did..

2006-11-17 15:45:00

frostbite :

i invented the color blue AND the latin alphabet but i'm not complaining so claim down mazns

2006-11-17 15:42:22

evanmarnoch :

bigtoe... sarcasm?

2006-11-17 15:39:59

Zach Hobbs :

the designer of this poster has a kickass name.
sounds like the long lost cousin of ser-i-pop.

2006-11-17 15:38:56

Bigtoe :

mmm...eichelburger. Does that come with onions?
Regarding the poster...I thought lifting stuff was PUNK. If you're not drawing, it's all just scrap-booking anyway, right?

2006-11-17 15:36:50

John A :

I own the sky, you owe me $36.12 for this interpretation thereof.

2006-11-17 15:35:17

danstiles :

Whatever Zach, your hands are totally ripped off from mine. They look totally the same.

2006-11-17 15:34:29

Zach Hobbs :

that tear on the right side of the page is a direct ripoff of this rip i made on a piece of arches back in college. and those are MY hands!

2006-11-17 15:30:31

allenboe :

There are only two clouds on this one. And blue is the color of the sky so color was kind of obvious. And techically the other one was a rip off too if you want to get picky.

2006-11-17 15:22:44

frostbite :

i only log off for 20 minutes and when i get back we're in the midst of a new eichelberger crisis? i think i'll go back to look at the lesbo porn poster

2006-11-17 15:11:24

how many people are we gonna string up? NO ONE IS SAFE.

ROMG A LIFT CALL THE GP POLICE LOZL

2006-11-17 15:02:39

bdix :

I could care less

2006-11-17 15:01:04

Zach Hobbs :

you fools need to hit that link in the middle of these comments and compare what homebody did here. it's a direct lift. if we are going to hang the ames bros, we're gonna hang this guy too.

2006-11-17 14:53:50

fantasygoat :

When I saw this, my first thought was the video installation I saw at the Whitney that had a hacked Mario Bros. game that just played the music and showed the clouds moving along, much like this poster.
I don't think it's a direct lift, more like the same cultural zeitgeist.

2006-11-17 14:40:02

naduval :

I had a really great sammich for lunch today

2006-11-17 14:10:26

El Negro Magnifico! :

I ain't gonna join the lynch mob yet. Pixel art is kinda commonplace nowadays. I don't see the same clouds on that book (at least I think I don't). For now, I'm saying "coincidence".

2006-11-17 14:08:50

Zach Hobbs :

i hate stealers.

2006-11-17 13:56:58

dethink :

I dunno...it could merely be a coincidence.
I mean they sold what, like 50,000,000 copies of Super Mario Bros 3?

2006-11-17 13:53:38

danstiles :

So what are the general agreed upon rules for lifting. Some people get busted for it, others skate.

2006-11-17 13:42:59

HYNES :

its obvious this is commentary on the state of modern computer graphic design vs traditional methods. It juxtaposes a slick pixel art graphic design magazine cover with rudimentary printing techniques to make its point, even addresses the eichelburger question, right?

dennyschmickle :

Ok... here's what you do next:
1. apologize 2. don't copy stuff again
what NOT to do:
1. be all "WHATVRR!! YOU don't know me!! 2. keep being a copycat

2006-11-17 13:29:30

Unitus :

and here i thought it was just a cute mario tribute.
LAME.

2006-11-17 13:24:54

Nice deckled edges tho, way to be soul-less AND rich.

If you're going to steal, don't steal from a magazine that other designers read:

That's outrageous

seireyho :

"thanks!" says my girlfriend!

2006-11-14 00:57:02

PosterChild :

yeah, this is def. Ripe poster. I'd only talk shit about posting twice if the concept+execution were crap. Yeah, definately post the real pic from now on. Nice fingernails.

2006-11-13 20:55:43

Iron Canvas Studios :

Hey give they guy some slack, nice poster man, nice and simple.

2006-11-12 14:24:33

seireyho :

ok, will do from now on!

2006-11-12 12:12:24

Unitus :

post your concepts in the forums.
submit real posters.

2006-11-11 15:24:43

ImJustRickG :

Heh heh... If I posted every concept, my poster count would be in the triple digits.
I run about 7:1 - ideas:execution. But I do like this poster. You should sell me one.

2006-11-11 14:34:14

vastagh :

i think we understand the difference. this site would be a mess if we had 2 of every poster on here.

2006-11-11 14:18:58

seireyho :

Thanks Nick. Just using leftovers. And El Negro Magnifico: I just want to show difference between conception and execution.

2006-11-11 11:32:03

El Negro Magnifico! :

This is cool, but there's no need to post your stuff twice.

2006-11-11 11:25:34

bwhitla :

opti grab productions? ever hear that band opti grab? are they related? they were like booty funk hip hop n bass or something.

Seattle HAS to have a better paper distributer Sei Rey! Printing on Stonhenge is for crap! Get some cougar 100#. your wallet will be much happier.
