victor_howitzer :

I've never noticed this one before. I've always liked the way Art handles type, on some of his stuff it looks similar to how traditional sign painters rolled.

Reminds me of one of those things I use to see back when I lived in that place.

BLT :

I remember getting the film for this one and thinking "Fucking Art, The registration is all fucked up" There were a bunch of things but mainly I remember the "SCOTS Sanctioned" was way out of register, so I thought I'd do Art a favor and "Fix it" for him, he chewed me out a little bit and that's when I learned to just print it, no matter how fucked up it is or seems to be. Young and dumb, that was me.

uncle charlie :

Art- very cool.. thanks for the lesson.. and you give me a warm feelin when you call me chuckles

art chantry :

chuckles - at that point i was using paper straight from my copier and waxing them onto mylar overlays (registered). these went straight to the printer. now that all the printers tossed out their stat cameras and i have to supply film (and absorb the expense and technical rsponsibility) i run that 'copier film' through my machine and tile together my own "film" (i use the term loosely) . the result it that my newer work looks even shittier now that i have to prepare my own film (with no money). you should see how bad it looks. ask BLT. it'd make you laugh.
but it all works just fine, thank you.

Survey says - paper....

seripop :

'm funny.

2002-08-13 09:25:45

art chantry :

chuckles - yeah, the 'layers' of my mechanical. crappy is as crappy does.
seri - i got just one word for you young lady - HUH?

2002-08-13 09:19:52

uncle charlie :

ART - just so I'm clear, you took your "separations" and reduced them down, then up on the copier??

2002-08-13 09:18:44

seripop :

u mean ya didn't draw this yrself? fraud. :-x

2002-08-13 09:17:45

art chantry :

when i put together the original artwork, it looked too clean and tidy - not cheezy and fukt enough for crockshock. so, i took the entire mechanical and shrank it down on my photocopier, down to about 5" tall. each layer. then i enlarged and tiled everything back up. and that's what i printed here. that kinda off-registration can't be faked. it has to be real.
yeah, i hate the southern culture type, also. that's why i did it. sometimes you just need to ruin or erase your training to make things work.

rockologist :

i love the combination of pink and red. it's repulsive and makes me uncomfortable. like, physically. i love how there are areas around the figure wher it looks like the ink didn't hit the paper. accidental or on purpose, it works well for me. the southern culture approved logo is kinda distracting to me, though. everything else, i really like.

dustin wallace :

you're right - it is eye-hurting beautiful. it must be seen in person to get the full headache-inducing effect. your eyes try to focus on the dots, and they can't. and the bright pink and yellow clash like the titans...

2002-08-13 08:41:35

art chantry :

it's brightest, most garish and horrifying dayglo imaginable. it hurts to look at it.

2002-08-13 08:39:17

seripop :

fuck this is a beaut. i think i might need a full collection of crockshock posters...
