poor Jimmy. it was sad to see how his ideals hit the reality wall. I still say we build a computer super brain and let it run the show.

i differ. i think clinton was a good solid eight (out of ten) on the presidential scale. W is about a one. time will tell. ah, but then i thought reagan was a weak two and carter was a 9+.

I remeber when he first got elected I was like..what the fuck? I mean it was SO OBVIOUS him and Hillary where psychotic. I mean can you honestly imagine slippin her the bone? Good God. Clinton, on policy alone has to have been like the biggest disaster ever. And him in those sunglasses honkin on a sax...man.

i did this thing in about '94 (before monika). he already had a bad rep, but this poster became kind of pre-cogniscent (sp.)

Print Mafia rules. I got their shop rags.They be all sassy n shit. I always felt that Clinton was more reminiscent of a hog.

frank - sorry. i had to take a phone call. it was actually a rather pleasant chat with print mafia. nice folks.

harry - i never ever said i don't lift images (just the opposite). but i have stated over and over that i'm very careful about what and how and under what circumstances i take things. there is a dance that has to be danced or the bad folks you're trying to fuck up will bite you. even punks knew that much. if you read my previuos post you'll understand the circumstances through which this poster came into existance. it's actually part of a very complicated project.

I am simply mesmerized by your ability to construct a manifesto around a throw away design. why your not rolling in Grant Money is beyond me. My tiny brain is still trying to figure out a solution to the cat box problem.

standard :

I think the asterick on the band name was a good idea. I worked at a music store for a spell and we could never get "The Presidents of the United States of America" to fit on the title cards right and I refused to write "PUSA" because it sounds stupid and goes a bit against the whole idea of the name, which I think was to just make it really unwieldy and annoying.

i want to correct a significant typo in my last comment. toward the of the first paragraph i says 'the rules do SHIT'. that's supposed to read 'the rules do SHIFT". thanks.

art chantry :

harry - it's not 'borrowing', it's THEFT. get it? so sue me. kozik - this poster was knocked out in about 15 minutes. the scrawl was my own handwriting slopped onto the patse-up. i was in a period of time when i was pushing out posters like farts, trying to see how many i could do in a day. these all went into that 'moe-tivator' thing i was doing to protest the poster ban. and because it was in a 'publication' and not a poster, the rules actualy do shit. i did a poster that had type so little you had to strain to see it. bad poster idea, but as a page in a 'zine, it worked just fine. whenever i looked at this picture of the wolfman, it cracked me up because it looked just like clinton to me. so i just took it straight across and made the joke. in editorial design those kinds of direct rips are protected by the first amendment (free speech). if i were to take this and present it as a standard street advertisement or a poster 'for sale' (swag), i would be in violation of copyrights (universal pictures for instance). but because the rules changed because it was originally presented in an 'editorial' page in a 'zine, the first amendment steps in to protect and make this political satire perfectly well protected against copyright problems. then anybody picking up thie zine could legally hang up the thing on a telephone pole in seattle because it wasn't a POSTER, it was a PAGE from a magazine. people were encouraged to do this. it was an effort to get people to physically protest the poster ban. instead collectors just snagged all of the zines and sold them. idiots. it was cool while it lasted, though. i got a whole buttload of great artists to contribute to the thing. almost got jacob lawrence to do one, but the clud dumped the idea becaue it 'cost too much' ($100!). cheap fuckers everywhere. even rich club owning lawyers get cheap when it comes to 'community service'. and frank, there are no rules about handwriting. where did you see them? in my manifesto? show me. enough.

2002-12-04 08:32:55

kozik :

seriously..you broke your rules by using a hand lettered scrawl instead of type...what other rule was broken?

2002-12-03 22:22:25

Steve H :

cool, so if i use a well known image and combine it with poor hand writing, its an ironic statement and i'm inserting my penis into the mind of the viewer? cool! thanks! i've always wanted to be a proper artist:)

2002-12-03 22:00:05

kozik :

hah! Garfields all grumpy cause he hasnt had his coffee yet and he made the dog look silly! hah! what a character! Wheres my Dilbert book? Cubicles are funny!

2002-12-03 21:55:41

kozik :

'the artist makes a cunning statement by his blatent appropriation of pop culture , which he then inverted the original meaning of by the ironic use of crude hand lettering, hence thrusting his penis deep within the collective ID of the semiotic mind" see* Cosmatine and Borograve vol 32.

2002-12-03 21:54:26

Steve H :

i like this poster art, and i'm not really bothered about anyone using 50's horror films on posters but, how is this not borrowing? whats the word then? tell me the word!

2002-12-03 21:52:35

kozik :

ok cool..I just read the one where Garfield ate too much. hah hah! he looks funny!

2002-12-03 21:51:20

kozik :

I try..but my brains is too small. brain hurts! must ...read...Garfield cartoons...

2002-12-03 21:47:46

art chantry :

oh, and technically this one ain't 'borrowing'.

2002-12-03 21:42:36

art chantry :

yeah, i push the edges of my own rules all the time. i get bored and see how far i can break my rules. i don't deny it. i'll take the heat - it's part of the rules. and if i drew it, it wouldn't be funny.

hehe.. left handed!
