steve smuggler :

It all works.

Drozd :

I like it just the way it is

2007-03-01 05:18:15

austininin :

i think the type is great, but it would have been even greater to re-draw it by hand to match the lines on the tree stump.

2007-03-01 01:29:17

El Negro Magnifico! :

I like peanut butter milkshakes. And I think the type is just fine.

VonDada :

I like coffee.

2007-03-01 00:40:55

Moctezuma :

The placement of the type is fine. You need that to create the detachment feel. The problem is that the tree is so loose and organic that the block of type justified feels out of place. It would've been cool to see the type loosly placed and maybe emphasis on "THE END" Just a thought. Illustration is fantastic!

Jeeeez. Look what I started.

fantasygoat :

I know what bothers me about the font - it reminds me of the crappy built-in fonts that came with printers in the late 80's. Or the sort of thing the computer picks to replace fonts you don't have installed on your computer.

2007-02-28 14:30:02

El Negro Magnifico! :

I like it.

2007-02-28 12:25:30

austininin :

eewwww please don't tell me they make patchouli flavored granola

phoondaddy :

You have to buy me dinner first.

you could be my boyfriend if you wanted

2007-02-28 10:20:22

dspring :

I think someone slipped me some granola and patchouli in my morning whiskey

I have a pointy head!

Zach Hobbs :

8 o'clock is good for $4 coffee at the grocer. I make sure to kill those beans first. then add purified water. this poster is pretty much the same as a million other tree posters with centered type. the coffee on the other hand is fantastic.

2007-02-28 10:06:27

dspring :

the type represents the bridge of crossing between the living and the afterlife, the typestyle choice shows the stoic nature of a life spent sheltering others (the birds)... the tree's ascent is it's natural purpose in life... trees grow up, towards the heavens as if to reach up and caress the face of God... while remaining rooted on the earth and it's complications. The text represents a crossing over... a freeing of life's problems... hold it... man... I need some coffee... it's a nice illo... all of this is ridiculous...

2007-02-28 10:05:33

evanmarnoch :

i just felt more juice thirsty than coffee thirsty, jeez. i'm gonna go grab some tim hortons right now.

2007-02-28 10:04:37

ricv64 :

Dear Phoon ,
No ,it's an art tree and what John A said

2007-02-28 10:03:17

evanmarnoch :

thats why i need some coffee, to straighten me out.

2007-02-28 10:03:11

phoondaddy :

Is this a coffee tree?

2007-02-28 10:01:03

John A :

juice over coffee is gay.

2007-02-28 10:00:13

evanmarnoch :

i opted for juice rather than coffee this morning.. i think i still need a coffee.

2007-02-28 09:59:36

ricv64 :

Well unless he peals the bark back that tree it'll come back . The part the birds are flying away with , it's dead . Nothing touches the coffee in Spain ,top notch I like the poster

2007-02-28 09:58:42

strawberryluna :

true, there is nothing more meaningful than good coffee.

2007-02-28 09:56:35

dennyschmickle :

This is a meaningful conversation.

2007-02-28 09:55:00

strawberryluna :

also, this place has great coffee at near Cold War prices: http://www.portorico.com/ i just finished my last cup of the morning. bou hou hou.

2007-02-28 09:54:46

phoondaddy :

What kind of tree would you be?

2007-02-28 09:54:04

strawberryluna :

wow, i'm not sure i've read comments declaring type too big on a poster before. i think the type size is balanced with the width of the tree, nor is it really too big...you know...for an advertisement for a band. there's nothing worse than miniscule and/or unreadable type on a poster.
overall i agree with danstiles.

2007-02-28 09:53:09

VegetableLasagna :

i'm having coffee and it sucks ass. 7 Eleven poorman coffee, Whoo!

2007-02-28 09:43:48

John A :

you fucks are hilarious.

2007-02-28 09:38:14

uglybogus :

the headline text works fine, its just the secondary stuff that needs a little work, its just needs to be visually seprated to increase hierarchy of information seperation. Smaller size / diffrnt font (sans? slab?).
Either way, its a fucking rad poster, keep up the good work.

2007-02-28 09:38:12

Zach Hobbs :

it's a tree. people. I'm having coffee and it is soooooo good!

2007-02-28 09:29:40

forcefed :

Pretty sure the type needs work. It's been mentioned in just about everyone's comments. I'd be willing to say just about any sans serif typeface at about 75% of this size would work much better. Don't print this with this font!

2007-02-28 09:27:08

Iron Canvas Studios :

you guys are crazy, looks great!

2007-02-28 02:34:05

air_raiddfa :

well done sir, i love the the detail in the illustration. good job.

2007-02-27 21:49:05

VonDada :

I love the illo, not crazy about the text. It doesn't have to be hand lettered, but a different font would've put this one over the top. Still a good poster, though.

2007-02-27 20:16:19

fantasygoat :

The illustration is excellent and the type is perfectly placed - I'm just not in love with the font.

2007-02-27 16:06:30

danstiles :

I think the type needs to be exactly where it is. If it were at the bottom it would be just another illustration with a band name at the bottom. I might have worked the type a little differently, but the placement is good.

2007-02-27 15:04:35

TMP :

I'm in a similar situation were everyone wants shit BIGGER!

2007-02-27 14:57:53

TMP :

.let us not forget the point - to advertise some bands.
In deed...but it's not a billboard were you drive by at 55mph and need to get the info in a split sec. I always thought a poster was meant to get your attention then draw you in to read the fine detail.
anyway cool illustration.

2007-02-27 14:55:28

Tabie :

really nice concept and illo, I agree about the type

2007-02-27 14:07:02

Jody :

I think the illustration and the text are beautifully balanced, realy nice work

2007-02-27 10:41:22

ASPrintingPress :

very nice and I agree with dolemite, thats why we do this

2007-02-27 09:35:48

dolemite :

i think the text works - let us not forget the point - to advertise some bands

and by "ree", i mean tree

2007-02-27 01:06:16

spusta :

nice lookin ghost ree.

2007-02-27 01:05:20

Scrawled :

Yeah...this is gorgeous - agree about the text though.

2007-02-27 00:02:34

Summer :

this is a beautiful illustration. I just wish that the text wasn't so conspicuous; that it was smaller and at the bottom or something. But it's a great image anyway.
