kevin jones :

you can NEVER find type books here. there is like 1 billion designers in this town!!
I have, however, found a really great used book store that has a SURPLUS of 50s press clip books, hidden in one of the backrooms of their basement under a bunch of other books where no one else will look. im buying them up one by one. the owner keeps asking me where i find them, and i just keep saying "oh they are in the back."

I have told em before, but he's from Oklahoma..he'll never listen, plus the cleft pallette makes it hard...Geoff and 15 is pretty much the same thing ;)

BLT :

"with all the giga throughput super max double processor overdrive..." Yep, that's the one. Doesnt he know that water goes in a bong and not spit? I hadnt drank a Miller High Life since I was about 15 till I went to Geoffs house.

2002-09-17 18:59:51

jasoncross :

with all the giga throughput super max double processor overdrive...yeah, he's drunk drolling in the bong all right...he picked up the phone and it was just heavy breathing with an intermintant slurppp.

2002-09-17 18:56:06

BLT :

Tell that guy to get off his lasy ass and steal me a computer. I want one of them good ones too, one of them super computers I think you guys call em.

2002-09-17 18:48:09

jasoncross :

actually he's probably the one with the bong come to think of it.

2002-09-17 18:47:28

I might know some lazy apple thug laying around here...think the little feller is sick right now actually...but prolly on a Miller binge in hidding.

Gee, if only I knew someone who worked for Apple and could get me a good deal on a Mac..hmmmmm. If I wasnt so stoned right now maybe I could think of someone. Do you know of anyone Jason?

kozik :

after looking at this I could sit down and draw it all , scan it in and fucking make it EXACTLY the same. It would take forever tho so fuck it.

2002-09-17 17:46:38

RichieGoodtimes :

Art? What makes you think I'd actually spend a bunch of time searching through type books to find that one or even bothering to think I have it on my computer. There are enough letters there for me to redraw the whole fucking alphabet. I never said you're doing things the easy way, either.

2002-09-17 17:34:58

art chantry :

i was just throwing some old type books into my spagetti sauce (speedballs are the best for that quick pick-me-up), and i just realized i made the wrong challenge to richie.
here's my challenge:
1) duplicate this poster on your computer. (i'll bet you can't even come close to matching the typeface, much less create the images).
2) i dare you, i double DOG dare you to do this same poster BY HAND! this goes for eveybody who seems to think i do it the easy way. until you try it by hand, i think anybody who makes fun of my methods can go piss up a rope.
and richie, you can quote me on that.

isnt it sad? please kill me.

funny thing is..I actually made Sargeant (E4) in the USAF and DID like march dudes around in various 'leadership courses'..I can still do that cadence and command shit. all these years later.

2002-09-17 16:58:09

kozik :

Chicago in the 40's and 50's was like printing and ad agency central......I also collect old designer awards books..like I have some from the 40's that will mind fuck you.

2002-09-17 16:53:30

kozik :

noyt any more they finally came and got it...got a nice scanner tho... dude, just look in used book stores in like St Paul. theres millions of those books out there. I go once a week to just 1 store always score something.

2002-09-17 16:53:25

kozik :

OK Ladies! I want you fucking pieces of frogshit to hump those packs around the perimeter double time!

2002-09-17 16:52:11

kevin jones :

frank: you have a photocopier in your studio?

2002-09-17 16:51:17

kozik :

My favorite one is 'sign painting course' by EC Mathews...all the good ones are from like Chicago.
I also have lots of matchbook salesmans bibles....heh AND the ENTIRE set of the 'famous artist courses' in thiose big oversize binders. I'll use it all someday. no worries. I have like 1 million designs archived on those shelves. I just keep buying more books.

2002-09-17 16:50:10

RichieGoodtimes :

I was comin home from Borders once with a new type book and I was thumbing through it on the bus and some kid goes to his mom,"That guys reading the alphabet."

2002-09-17 16:50:00

kevin jones :

ive always been a firm believer in learning to do things the hard way first. i dont know that there is any reasoning behind that exactly, just always seemed like a good idea. also, i have fun doing things by hand too, just out of practice and taking up opportunities like this excites me and gets me motivated and all that jazz. i was up till 3am last night printing (actually i was just hanging ... teehee), tired as fuck, and im babbling, but boy was it a good time :D

2002-09-17 16:49:19

art chantry :

frank (from now on i'm calling you sarge) -
that was the one part of what you said that i DIDN'T disagree with.
sell me your books (at least the ones i don't already have).

2002-09-17 16:47:19

kozik :

Green Apple always has tons. dude a stat camera takes like 10 minutes to figure out. you stick in the original, set the enlargement and shit. thats it.... the hard part is feeding that shit through the developer.

2002-09-17 16:47:04

jasoncross :

ok kevin well thats a whole different point, guess I lucked out...honestly you didn't miss much but I did have fun learning to design in black and white and use color treatment seperatly...the thinking is valuable, but I am not sure that the tools are necessary to utilize that thinking.

2002-09-17 16:46:36

kevin jones :

i like the 100 condensed alphabets one the best. i just found the circus one not two weeks ago myself.

2002-09-17 16:45:08

kevin jones :

plastk: i realize that. goddamn it, I JUST WANT TO LEARN HOW TO USE A STAT CAMERA ... JUST ONCE. ill never do it again, i promise ;(

2002-09-17 16:44:23

RichieGoodtimes :

I've got all the Solo books. They rule. I spent the last 8 years finding thm all.

2002-09-17 16:44:12

kozik :

hey Arturito Jimenez....when I tagged you as a collage artist last month you had a fucking brain hemorrage........

2002-09-17 16:42:09

jasoncross :

No, I am at the University now to learn Architecture. Graphic Design I agree is a bit of a waste at your usual 4 year college

2002-09-17 16:42:06

kevin jones :

kozik: you can donate those books to kevin's starving artist/type nerd library :D (please)

2002-09-17 16:42:01

jasoncross :

Kevin, that is the way graphic design was done before stats, etc. when do you think stats were created, before graphic design? not even close.

2002-09-17 16:40:47

kevin jones :

kozik: you can donate those books to kevin's starving artist/type nerd library :D (please)

2002-09-17 16:40:20

art chantry :

whew - you scared me there, plastic! the idea that anybody would pay to learn this stuff at a big university is truly sad.
but a community college is cool. best classes and the best teachers i ever had were at a community college.

2002-09-17 16:40:02

jasoncross :

also learned cell animation and silkscreen at ACC back in the early 90's, I know, how stupid of me to want to learn.

2002-09-17 16:39:36

kozik :

Wait until you guys see my new line of smokin bunny buggywhips!

2002-09-17 16:39:32

kozik :

yep...long time ago I rooted through an old printing business where all the shit...like letterheads and invoices where printed on Litho stones. amazing.
isnt a xerox copier essential a computerized stat camera? wahts the dif? a scanner is like a real nice xerox machine. real nice.

2002-09-17 16:38:52

kevin jones :

plastk: if i were to do fine art with litho stones, that would make me a fine artist. i prefer being a graphic designer (not to say i wouldnt enjoy doing that, just to do it, ya know). graphic design has its own history, and it amazes me, and much of that history is being lost to the digital age, not to say i dont appreciate the ease that comes with producing on a computer, but what happens when the power goes out? i try not to ever pass up the opportunity to learn something new, those opportunities dont come along very often.

2002-09-17 16:38:22

jasoncross :

I went in 1990.

2002-09-17 16:37:58

kozik :

I just scored the circus alphabets last night.
Art youd be happy to know I have like 100 old type and sign painters' books and never use any of them. ever.
it's all eurostyle and shit.
cause I eat fucking shit.

2002-09-17 16:37:13

jasoncross :

Yeah, Austin Community College was VERY expensive...you know - just lke RISD

2002-09-17 16:36:21

art chantry :

richie -
no rush. i gave you a week. i gotta go make dinner.

2002-09-17 16:35:26

art chantry :

plastic -
you actually PAID to go to SCHOOL to learn this stuff?

2002-09-17 16:33:40

art chantry :

i love doing this stuff the way i do it. i love the way it looks, i live the way you can move things around, i love burnishing the pieces together. i love touching it up. i love cutting the overlays. i love making my own letterforms. so, i won't give it up just to make a bunch of geeky rock poster dudes stop insulting me. sorry, you're not all that important to me.

2002-09-17 16:31:54

jasoncross :

Actually Kevin, when I went to school for design this non-computer method is exactly how I learned. I tought myself the computer, never took one class in it. All my design classes were with x-acto's, stats, wax machine, spray tack. And guess what...there was other methods before that...so, why use the advancement of stat? why not do stone litho like the REAL poster artist at the turn of the century. Thats my point...every method is an advancement in a sense to streamline a process. This method Art used is not the 'old' way, just a way thatt has seen its day come and go in the industry as a standard. I think thats a good thing...many artist would not be doing the designs they are doing, nor would this site exist, without computers.

2002-09-17 16:30:32

Me and Dan X. Solo will have an answer for you later this evening when I have some time to look.

magic!
(actually i'm a collage artist. i piece together other halftones and re-draw the dots. also i have ways of creating halftones on a copier. it was fairly common back in the old days)

2002-09-17 16:27:37

BLT :

He'll just laugh at me for not having a Mac.

2002-09-17 16:26:14

kozik :

I like to set the f stop at 22.

2002-09-17 16:26:12

art chantry :

richie -
i meant the type. i not all THAT mean. i wouldn't expect you to match this from a screen image. just try to find my typeface. i'll give you a week.

2002-09-17 16:25:59

kozik :

how do you make a halftone film without a stat camera ? is it all zipatone? I used to do that zipatone and a color wheel. it fucking sucked. on bluelines..ech.

2002-09-17 16:25:38

art chantry :

richie -
ok, match it.
brian -
ask richie how to unstuff the type.

2002-09-17 16:24:40

kevin jones :

richie - deal. ill be there noonish the day before FS. your studio is close to my hotel eh? are you working? meet me half way? and yes, im completely serious.

2002-09-17 16:24:29

art chantry :

richie -
i've taken that challenge many times, and i have yet to find anybody that can duplicate my work on a coputer. they can APPROXIMATE it, but it's really not all that close. honest, it's not that easy. it just looks easy.

2002-09-17 16:23:53

BLT :

Naw, You didnt fuck up the film Art, it just happens when you splice film that has halftones. Art does all his films himself (without a stat camera) and his posters are alway the easiest for me to print. By the way Art I need those corrections asap.

2002-09-17 16:23:38

RichieGoodtimes :

Why can't the type be matched? What's so magical about it?

2002-09-17 16:22:35

RichieGoodtimes :

I can work in your method, yet you can't work in mine, thus I feel pretty fucking confident that I could produce ANY of your work digitally and no one would be the wiser.

2002-09-17 16:21:53

kozik :

we are just jealous. Me, the day I got my first computer and tossed all that typesetting crap and film costs out the window i got down on my raw bloody knees and gave Allah the mother of all fucking blowjobs.

2002-09-17 16:21:35

art chantry :

i don't understand why the idea that i do this with my hands instead of a computer freaks all of you out so much. so what? i like it my way. big deal.
i also doubt you could do this poster on a computer (without a stat camera) - especially in the three hours it took me to do it from ground zero. but then i've been doing this a long long time and i'm real fast. i'm sure there's certain things that you can beat me with on your computer. ok, so what?
also, you can't match the type. also brian is right i fucked up the film (by hand, yes i did the film by hand) without your help. i'd like to thank you for that, but it's all mine (it's the best part).

2002-09-17 16:19:06

RichieGoodtimes :

It's a pretty fucking simple machine Kevin. Got 3 minutes? Cause that's about all there is to teach. It's big and it's got dials. That's why it looks more complicated than it is.

2002-09-17 16:18:52

kevin jones :

oops i hate that. cant refresh after you post.

2002-09-17 16:16:56

kevin jones :

i like to learn to do things using traditional methods, even if it is a "senseless" exercise. why pass up an opportunity to learn something that could very likely be forgotten in the next 10-20 years ... or have we already forgotten about it?

2002-09-17 16:16:25

kevin jones :

2002-09-17 16:15:37

kozik :

it's a senseless exercise. you can produce the same results, good enough for like a 'normal persons' viweing pleasure with digital crap.
It's like bewailing the fact theres like not rampant stone lithography anymore. I for one would LOVE to do stone litho, but it's insanely unrealistic.
kill me.

2002-09-17 16:12:52

kevin jones :

goodtimes, will you teach me how to use your stat camera?

2002-09-17 16:12:38

RichieGoodtimes :

I've got a stat camera. Looks like it would just be me makin posters. Art doesn't have one anymore I thought he said...Does saying what I thought he said count as a quote?

2002-09-17 16:10:58

jasoncross :

I jst wonder how accesible a stat camera is for all on this site? and then send out for type. and no copiers because they ARE computers...got chips in them - just not really good computers. so then how many artist would be making posters?

2002-09-17 16:09:20

uncle charlie :

thats funny, when I paint, I just squat over a canvas and blast my juices all over the place.. then I use pine needles to smear it around.. hard core

2002-09-17 16:08:31

kozik :

see..the deal with a computer is in thelast hour I did a layout for a toy that would take a fucking week with a drafting set.
different tools for different thangs.
when I paint I use brushes, paint and canvas...as well as buckets ans rags..it's all good.

I sharpen my pencil with a nice black shard of obsidian. only lost three fingers so far.

how much is that in BaconBucks?

2002-09-17 16:03:16

jasoncross :

we should all trash our computers, quit using gigposters and only use stat cameras and wax machines - that would definatly be better...see you at school tommorrow on my horse.

i see the face of jesus in the "hickey" in the middle.

2002-09-17 16:02:19

RichieGoodtimes :

I wasn't quoting you? Who are you anyways. And I bet you a gazillion dollars I could reproduce this for production with all it's "flaws" and custom type. A gazillion.

2002-09-17 16:01:10

jasoncross :

no, art said you couldnt so you cant, art said so.

2002-09-17 16:00:42

kozik :

hard to stuff a computer in a bindle.

2002-09-17 16:00:23

BLT :

I clearly remember that being a film flaw and not a printing flaw. GEEEZE, printers get no respect.

2002-09-17 15:59:58

MaximumFluoride :

Art you could definetly duplicate this with a computer. If you know how.

2002-09-17 15:59:10

kozik :

but are I not looking at this on a computer?
hence, duplicated.
on a computer.
OOOO I hit me head on the cup- board!

2002-09-17 15:56:16

art chantry :

richie -
once again, i never made such a claim. please ridicule me with quotes i actually made, instead of ones you make up. usually you're much better at this and come up with really stupid things i actually said to ridicule me. but today, you've been real lazy about it.
by the way, this poster couldn't be duplicated with a computer. the type is too cutom and that printing flaw in the middle is strictly non-computer.

2002-09-17 15:54:19

robschwager :

richie is sooo silly......

2002-09-17 15:50:11

RichieGoodtimes :

completely impossible to achieve this sort of effect with a computer
