i thought i was the only one who had SOME PEOPLE CANT SURF conveniently located a foot away from my toilet. Ive read it 4 times trhough this summer alone! thank god for 10 cent wings...
i put that in there all those years ago knowing that this day would come - when YOU finally noticed and called it out like it meant something!!! so, now it's complete, it's BETTER than perfect!
it's 101 points!
SUCCESS!!!!
concept: for a rock show in a bowling alley on halloweens complete with bowling, burgers, booze and broads and POISON 13 (!), the whole concept here is solid and exquisite. score: 50 points.
craft: intentionally creude, badly printed, incompetant typography, really wretched color and very crooked. in other words perfect!
score: 50 points.
total: 100 points! (a perfect poster)
I can draw, paint, collage, walk on water and fly. This is true because I said it on the internet.
I also like brocolli. But never eat it cause vegetables are for pussies.
Man, this hatched WAS buried a long time ago. Sheesh...
OK, STL, so yer new here. REAL nice way to make an introduction.
Where do you get the idea that I think STL isn't creative?
And just for the record, I have been there MANY times, so I CAN comment.
>>I myself work the clip and paste esthetic and make no butts about it! and guess what robschwager? I CAN DRAW, PAINT, PRINT, AND DESIGN!!!!!! and on top of that I'm from St. Louis!!!!<<
Okay... so, you want a Bozo button or what?
>>I guess the whole point is SO WHAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!!!!! <<
Yeah, so what? But if you learned how to read you would have seen that my first post on this poster said that I "DID" like it.
"Kinda cool" were the words I think I used. I might not like EVERYTHING that Art does, but I DO like some of his stuff, and what I DO, I like ALOT.
Plus, maybe you should LOOK around this site and SEE that I have INDEED posted my stuff a long time ago.
So, I HAVE as you so pleasantly phrased it, "nut up".
What's YOUR excuse bub?
schwags stuff is on this site.... and chantrys stuff is here too... so i guess you can post your stuff now... make a thread and show people your stuff...
Uh, dude...this argument is really old. Cooler heads have prevailed, the hatchet's been buried...and all those cliches. One more cliche...leave sleeping dogs lie.
see art... who would have thunk it... ten years ago you wouldnt have imagined on some little computer screen losers like us would celebrate halloween lookin at yer poster...
embrace the complement... you olde coot!!! :)
tomcatfight aside, i think this poster rocks. art's work *always* gives me a girly-boner! personally, i think it's great that art always comes up with something fresh and keeps his original style. he hasn't sold out [even though he got a website]. keep doing what you do, art, 'cause no one does it better than you...period.

Being the first person to comment on this work being the 'Poster of the Week', it's funny that its Art's, considering this last weeks conversations. 400 comments shouldn't be too hard.
I like this. It's like a bag full of candy corn. Subtle, with layers, and plenty to chew on. Right on Art.
I dont care if a poster is done with a pencil stcking out of your ass or your drawing with a dog turd..if it works, it works and this poster is very cool. I like it a lot. Can I have one! har har har
Try hitting the "private message" button for this kinda shit. Its boring to the rest of us. Who care who anyone likes or dislikes. Its getting really old in here.
trucker -
this all started because you made a semi-compliment about my work. i pointed out that it was probably the first nice thing you ever said about me and my work and that you were'softening' on me.
ya know, you've been a dick to me. that's about it. your opinions have no weight in the face of the fact that you constantly slam me. so what, you don't like me, so what. your reasons for not liking me are almost immaterial. your just nasty to me all the time. it's sad.
tell you what, why do't you come over or call me or something and we'll talk some. you might begin to have a better idea about what i do and who i am. your 'criticism' of me was pretty uninformed about how i work and what i do, so i actually could fill you in. you'd also find out that i'm not such a bad guy, not a sourpuss, not arrogant (all that much), just a guy trying to make it like you.
so, quit being such a jerk to me and try being a human being.
as for telling you yer fulla shit, i have to repeat, go back and do the research. you are fulla shit when you say your an innocent when it comes to 'raking me' (it's a turn of phrase, there are no coals, honest). and as for the 'fuck off', you deserve it. i really think you should fuck off. find somebody else to slam for awhile. if no, then get in personal touch and we'll talk. i'm not such a bad guy. honest.
art
THAT'S the best you have??? A few posts? Fine examples? Yeah, right.
Pretty weak Art.
Certainly not what I would constitute "usually raking somebody over the coals" and "always being a dick to you".
Not in the LEAST if you compare the way you have been treated by some OTHER people who post here.
Wanna know my position on you? 2 part answer.
part 1) I don't really care for your stuff that much. I don't see what the big deal is. I RESPECT what you do, I just don't like it.
Re-arranging someone else's photographs/illustrations/clipart/fonts/etc. around a page after you clipped em from the back of old magazines or other publications doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.
I was doing that kinda stuff back in the mid-late 80's just out of high school, making flyers for punk rock bands in Chicago. It was fun doing DIY style, clipping stuff, photocopying, etc....
I didn't embrace computers being used for design tools till the mid 90's. I LIKED clipping fonts and doing paste up BY HAND. Probably one of the reasons I like cutting Ruby as much as I do. It's fun and relaxing to me because it's HANDS ON.
OK, so maybe you were one of the first guys to do that collage kinda thing in the corporate design world. GREAT! Personally, I think you've reached the pinnacle or doing what you do. Nobody does Chantry better then Chantry. For people who CAN'T do the collage type of artwork, yeah, your stuff probably looks pretty cool to them.
Personally, I happen to like artwork/posters from people who know how to draw or paint BETTER then the clipped collage type of stuff. Is it less artistic cuz it's collage? No.
It just doesn't appeal to ME.
It's probably due to the fact that I've worked for over a decade in an industry with guys who use nothing all day long except for a pencil, eraser and blank piece of paper as tools to create artwork. I consider that REAL skill.
part 2) I think you are a bitter man. You seem like you have some kind of chip on your shoulder about SOMETHING. I mean, we all know you like to push buttons and play head games. Heck, that's obvious. You are good at it.
I dunno, maybe it's because you seemingly didn't embrace computer technology when it came to it being used as a design TOOL, and you are mad because kids in 5th grade can run circles around you on a computer.
Sure you are using computers NOW. Probably just because you HAVE to in order to make a living in the design world. If you don't have an e-mail address, people think you live in the stone age.
Possibly it's because wet behind the ears just outta design school kids are getting the gigs that YOU used to get. Or maybe because corporate design doesn't want to pay you what a "CHANTRY" is worth anymore. Seattle is expensive. Heck of alot more then St. Louis.
Whatever the reason, you just gotta learn how to let go man. You have tons of real world design experience and natural raw layout abilities, stuff most folks would kill for. Especially some folks on here.
But you come off as a pretentious know it all jackass on gigposters most of the time, and quite frankly it's getting REAL old.
So, as far as me "usually raking you over the coals" and "always being a dick to you", you know that's complete garbage. Fess up. You've got no leg to stand on when it comes to that argument. I called your bluff and YOU lost.
I joined here in Oct. of 2001, you did in Nov. In that time you can probably count on 1 hand the times I have directed posts towards you or your work.
I'd hardly consider that "always being a dick to you."
And you KNOW who the only one here is who's full of it.
Have a nice life Bitterman.
just did. i'ts worse than i thought - you've always been a total dick to me. so. i guess i don't have to apologize for squat. and you happen to be fulla shit.
ok, i'll go back and do a little studying. if i'm wrong, i'll apologize for thinking you don't like me (huh?). if i'm right. i'll point out yer fulla shit. ok?
dude, to my recognition i have never raked you over the coals. I rarely comment on your stuff cuz it just doenst do anything for me. The stuff I DO like, like the Kustom Kulture piece, I comment positively on.
other stuff I just throw a snide lil comment out there.
I would hardly call that raking somebody over the coals.
