2004-06-03 21:52:38

melia :

2004-06-03 21:50:04

ferg2001 :

stinkbait :

This poster is the tits. i wish I had it to go along with the "huh?" fastbacks poster i have framed up in my pad. Art is a real smarty pants.

2003-07-29 21:24:10

kozik :

jasoncross :

chantry should have been in SF - he would have cleaned up, much easier than ebay.

2002-10-01 00:29:09

Bread8 :

ummm, it looks the same to me. I think you just wanted me to check ebay. now i feel all dirty and taken advantage of...

2002-09-30 20:53:25

jsheehan :

To see this poster better, if'n ya care, check it out on ebay. Just stuck one up, on ebay that is…

robschwager :

"oh, 'ant chartry' isn't me. accept no imitations."
hence the "sheesh" from me.

2002-08-15 18:09:32

art chantry :

i widh there was a way to 'edit' these comments. i skipped a word (i'm a very sloppy typist, sorry) in my last comment on this poster and it made no sense. it was supposed to say 'a dark BLUE covered with a xerox-rot texture printed in black.'

2002-08-15 18:00:01

art chantry :

it's too bad that you can't see this poster better - it's a bad repro. the 'black' area is actually a dark covered with a black 'xerox-rot' texture. the result is that it looks like shadow (which is actually blue) and not 'blackness.' it's actually rather beautiful.
oh, 'ant chartry' isn't me. accept no imitations.
pastime: bickering.

2002-08-15 17:53:01

robschwager :

sheesh... :roll:

2002-08-15 17:24:02

ant chartry :

when I made this I forgot to draw the rest of the poster! how foolish of me!

2002-08-15 16:48:29

kozik :

Love him or hate him you cannot deny the 'this' of this.

2002-08-03 23:22:19

BLT :

Did everyone hear that the fastbacks finally called it quits? Guess you can scratch them off your hype poster Art.

2002-08-02 12:24:34

art chantry :

i had opportunity to have several of the artists sign a copy of that poster - roth, williams, etc. - but didn't. i've never been one to gather autographs. but still, i love the idea that roth signed it. he and i worked on a couple of projects that resulted in his "rediscovery" in the early 80's. a long story, but a story i'm very proud to have been a part of.
he was a great art director, ya know?

2002-08-02 09:33:46

robschwager :

Art, I have your Kustom Kulture poster. Got Roth to sign it before he left us. Still one of my faves. Need to frame it somehow without going broke.

2002-08-02 09:28:10

dustin wallace :

ebay - oh, how i love/hate you...

2002-08-02 09:23:48

Finch :

Add me to the list of folks who digs this poster - I'll be checking eBay and watching as people bid this one on up.
Sorry the repro is so bad on this - I don't know where I scanned this from, probably an old Print Magazine or one of the UFOrick catalog/posters (no matter what the source it was probably a pretty small original).

2002-08-02 09:13:18

art chantry :

i'll put one up on ebay in awhile. if you want my posters, that's the only way to get them. that is unless you have other connections. i sure don't.
this is a bad reproduction. the 'black area' actually has a dark blue xerox texture in it, so it looks like shadow. not shadows of anything in particular, just the color of a shadow (which is blue/black, not black.)
whenever i was asked to do a fastbacks poster, i always put them into a cartoon scenario, because they've sorta become cartoons. most of the old seattle bands have become cartoons. sort of a flat brightly colored parody of themselves. not subtle.
the fastbacks didn't like them and i never did any more.

2002-08-02 09:09:55

dustin wallace :

everbody, PILE ON!!! as long as one of us gets our grubby little fingers on one. i just recently saw my first chantry somewhere besides the net. no doubt, this dude rocks the free world.

2002-08-02 09:05:16

rockologist :

hope there's still a good seat on the bandwagon...this is great! never seen it before, didn't even know who did it. wow. i'm pretty happy now.

2002-08-02 08:50:46

Platinum Rich :

yeah i need this one too, along with that fake archie. gimme, gimme.

2002-08-02 08:30:53

dustin wallace :

probably a stupid question, but does anyone have one for sale?

2002-08-02 07:53:57

robschwager :

signed and numbered in pencil....

2002-08-01 21:22:42

Platinum Rich :

and printed on burlap.

2002-08-01 21:19:35

robschwager :

glowing teddy skull....

2002-08-01 21:18:03

Platinum Rich :

acutally, this would be better with a skull.

2002-08-01 21:17:18

Jermaine :

Teddy Bears wanted on. Chantry said 'no'

2002-08-01 21:14:53

Jermaine :

Shes there, you just dont see her....and the skull.
And the flames. Theyre 'anti-flames'...theyre cold and dark

2002-08-01 21:14:24

robschwager :

or teddy bears.... :-p

2002-08-01 21:14:08

Platinum Rich :

that and no devil girls.

2002-08-01 21:12:50

Platinum Rich :

my only beef is that their suckiness was carried over to that great non-archie companion poster.

2002-08-01 21:12:07

Jermaine :

And 2 colors. Brilliant.

2002-08-01 21:11:48

kozik :

if a 'name' pop artist had done this it would be in the fucking MET and rightly so. total brilliant deconstruction of POP.
Fastbacks suck tho-my only beef.

2002-08-01 21:09:42

robschwager :

kissy kissy... :-p

2002-08-01 21:06:45

art chantry :

2002-08-01 21:06:12

robschwager :
