This is close to the top of my poster 'want list'.... it's not a very long list, but i still want this a lot.

Tenebrini :

There's this wierd art place place by my house that I drive by often that has one of these in a screened in porch.
If I was an ass-hole I'd steal it. All I'd need is a box cutter and about 30 seconds.

This poster is a good example of me "not getting it".

i found one of these on ebay for only $9.99. paper quality was better than the original and it was cut out real nicely.

Rob :

thanks art...just curious. i bought one from you a couple years ago and it's interesting to see the difference in only a short amount of time.

art chantry :

the last one i sold privately for about $600 or so. but i had to split it with a gallery.
i only have a couple left to sell 9after 25 years. i need to save them, really), the price will skyrocket from here. that way i'll still have some for portfolio and museums. silly, but true.
not bad for "hackwork", eh? i must have something right back them.

Rob :

how much are you selling these for now, art?

2005-11-09 09:56:01

art chantry :

i love this thing. it's one of the best posters, best pieces i've ever done.
but, then, you wouldn't agree.
what were you doing in 1980?

"so, is it a rip off? in a way, it is. it's taking a strong design solution developed by somebody else and using it as a crutch. it's really no different than that fella who did those great poster using old postage stamp borders (called a 'cartouche') and putting in new images and words. they worked really well, but after awhile his illustration (and his design) sense got better than his gimmick, and he didn't need that border 'crutch' anymore to carry his ideas. in his case the cartouche began to hurt his work. The same is beginning to happen here with this poster."

I'm such a dork. I've never even heard Gang of Four until about 45 minutes ago.

Hand Carved Graphics :

very striking poster for an incredible band. doing more with less. color wouldn't even help this. i wish i could see this in person... i bet the texture is insane. i love thick, fuzzy black lines.

Will Ruocco :

I just picked up Art's book "Some People Can't Surf" yesterday and this one stood out as one of my favorites. It really jumps off the page.

ourmaninpeking :

This is one of my top five favorite posters of all time. Too bad I was seven at the time, I'd have love to have seen the show.

Nolen Strals :

a few years back someone told me to look up this art chantry guy...that I'd be really into his work... and the first thing I ran across with his name on it was this poster... right away I knew he was brilliant (and had great taste in music). I stole the magazine I first saw this in a few years ago I had to have this one thing so badly.

Reyes :

Wow. "Modern Productions." "The Showbox." That takes me back... The best thing I can say about this poster, is everytime I see it, it looks brand new all over again (and I've seen it a gazillion times). Double wow. Triple wow. 20-odd years of wow.

jsheehan :

This, to me, is the best poster Art ever did. Following close on its heals is KUSTOM KULTURE. But wow, check out the fact that it is only BnW and you get why he be da man.

art chantry :

this was 1980 or 81. this still is one of the very best shows i've evr seen. the gof were amazing.

stinkbait :

This poster is the end all be all. Just one of the many reasons Art is the king. Art what year was this beaut? Jamie thanks for posting all this stuff.
