Nadine Y. Nakanishi :

i don't use this word often in context with posters. but what comes to mind is epic. freaking epic!

nice work as usual, dan. like the depth on this one with the faded skyline. nice type placement too. maybe we'll see you at the show...

crosshair :

wow. thanks. This one was done very quickly and it's quite simple: Three screens; brown, blue, and a transparent light tan that overprints both.
This is one of five different posters by five different artists; promoting an upcoming benefit for my friend's son, who suffered a brain injury as a result of a reaction to his immunizations. I expect they'll be made available after the event with proceeds to benefit the appropriate charities.
btw- don't apologize for criticism! There should be more of that here, not less. I suspect your opinion isn't as unpopular as you may think. Dirty Protest articulates a point that is very true- these posters do not jump off the wall at the viewer. My intent is for them to function in the opposite way; for the viewer to fall into them. That will work for some people (and some bands,) and will leave others cold.

fantasygoat :

Yeah, I can see how it helps to be a bit of a screenprinting nerd to get the other half of why Crosshair is incredible (ie. the process), but there's still the first half that appeals to "normal" people in that the building prints are amazing as pure art, separate from the process.

dethink :

Awesome as always.

hoveringobject :

Probably a very popular opinion but these Crosshair posters are freaking incredible.

crosshair, you are one of my favourite

Beto Ramirez :

Very nice.

2006-12-20 10:58:25

Zach Hobbs :

I think the process and the concept is pretty rad. I think it works much better when you drop the band names and make these art prints. my 2cents.

The Dirty Protest :

"definitely not a popular opinion"
Haha, didn't think so. I just like posters to jump out at me that's all. I don't think this would catch my eye from across the street.

whitt_amore :

looks really great. i love this building series.

2006-12-20 09:20:35

steve w :

definitely not a popular opinion

2006-12-20 09:06:34

The Dirty Protest :

Probably not a popular opinion but I don't really get all the excitement over these posters, they look nice enough n all, but everyone loses the plot over each new one, all I'm seeing are buildings. Sorry dude, just not really my thing I guess.

powerhouseone :

2006-12-20 07:50:02

danieldanger :

very nice. did you do a transparent white over the background to giver it the distance fade, or are those seperate colors?
