i like gregory's statement though, heh.

weathermaker :

i guess i wasn't thinking about those teeny things in terms of how many overused pyramid shapes there are in the world. just thinking about actually cutting or drawing each one made me love the image.

2009-01-13 12:37:28

ferg2001 :

good news...triangles are cool again.

2009-01-13 10:12:34

Iron Canvas Studios :

agreed, it's a rad poster

2009-01-12 22:57:54

MaximumFluoride :

I like the triangles. I like the whole poster. Just not for The Sword.

2009-01-12 22:54:27

deforgeo :

i hate all music though, so what do i know

2009-01-12 22:46:32

deforgeo :

yeah, this still rules, even if "triangles are played out" (what?)

2009-01-12 22:46:12

Iron Canvas Studios :

making metal posters is tough as hell, and I love metal.

2009-01-12 22:20:14

MaximumFluoride :

If I had never heard the Sword I would look at this and think they sound like Arab on Radar or Brown Whornet or some other noise band. I'd never think they sound anything like the Sword actually sound. And if they were indy-rockers-playing-metal... this still wouldn't work. Look to Pevetos High On Fire posters for an expample of indy rock trying to be metal. Posters in this here style are almost always used to advertise certain bands. Mostly noise and avant bands. And I will eternally associate stuff done in this style with those types of bands. It's cool and all...but it isn't very metal. If this poster was for An Albatross it'd be fucking awesome. Truly.

Josh Rickun :

got a question about triangles and pyramids and bricks and variations thereof within this new style of psychedelic-esque posters. ¿por que? they're all over the place. i ate lotso acid in my day and never got into drawing triangles. drew a lot more penises with faces after that, but not triangles.

2009-01-12 21:18:44

Gregory :

No. Those traiangles are not isosceles enough.

2009-01-12 21:03:54

weathermaker :

why not? all those triangles add up you know

2009-01-12 21:01:56

Gregory :

NO.

2009-01-12 21:00:19

weathermaker :

i really like the consistency of triangles in your poster

2009-01-12 20:59:05

Gregory :

yeah this poster is cool

2009-01-11 12:21:49

crosshair :

My overwhelming impression based on having seen the Sword play, and having heard their records, is that they are an indie-rockers-playing-metal metal band. That is not meant as a diss. I don't live in Austin and I don't hang with the band so maybe I'm off base. But I get the sense maybe they liked Metallica or Priest in highschool, but then they got way into Pavement or Sebadoh for about a decade before re-embracing metal. And that's just fine. Tip-off #1: horn-rimmed glasses frames on stage. I mean, come on. Tip-off #2: Irony. The Sword are steeped in it. They like to wink and they like to nudge. Now look at, say, Manowar. There is no irony there. In the eye of the beholder, sure, plenty. But coming from the band? None. I want a reality show where The Sword and Manowar live together in a beach house for a month, with a truckload of Heinie and a full LARP arsenal. Then we would see who is true metal.

triangles are played

2009-01-11 08:49:40

swampviking :

I agree with 2007 Fisher, but whatever. Just one persons opinion.

thanks great pizza party, doc!

Gregory :

well i have a house and a studio - i got lots of walls

2008-07-30 15:03:19

The Bubble Process :

this show must have been amazing. Gregory, how may posters do you have on your wall?

2008-07-30 14:29:50

Gregory :

on my wall

2008-01-18 00:42:16

rockologist :

i think the sword are pretty serious about their metal. i don't think this is an indie rock indulgence or anything.

2008-01-15 14:41:01

Benjamin Nelson :

this is the best!!!

2007-12-12 11:18:05

seriplop :

well like i said , it's a poster that would make ME wanna go to the show cause it actually makes it look like a fun time.. i like seeeing stuff that stands out and catches the energy of a rowdy live show. i find lateley i feel so jaded looking at posters . this kid's stuff actually makes me feel pumped up and excites me in the same way i felt when i first saw a chantry or a mat brinkman poster. so kudos.

2007-12-12 09:47:01

naduval :

cool one

2007-12-10 18:53:02

every time i look at this i find something new to like about it

2007-12-10 18:37:07

MaximumFluoride :

And I just noticed Black Cobra are on the bill. So, double no.

2007-12-10 17:33:32

MaximumFluoride :

I'm sticking with no. For The Sword a definite no. For Aideswolf... a definite yes. But this is for the Sword so.... No.

flying dutchman :

its a strange brew

2007-12-10 14:11:06

drawinsisawesome :

totally rad, snacks.

2007-12-10 13:55:22

standard :

i saw 'em last night. they were pretty awesome. I would say that this doesn't fit the band, but only based off of the imagery the band uses as a comparison. on the other hand, this has a certain headbanger's-algebra-notebook-cover appeal to it, so it's not like it's way off base.

2007-12-10 13:17:02

Gaither :

looks like a pizza puke.

2007-12-09 15:05:11

Iron Canvas Studios :

HI EVAN! The poster itself does rule, and upon further inspection has a split fountain which I like a lot!

2007-12-08 15:43:52

evanmarnoch :

Oh get over yourselves (HI MIKE!)... haha. This is awesome.

2007-12-08 15:21:44

Iron Canvas Studios :

Not sure if this fits yet, maybe. I'll come back to it later.

DUDE

seriplop :

i've never heard the band but from the poster i'd think they were brutal , fun and that their shows are fully rowdy

2007-12-08 09:56:41

Keith G. Herzik :

pretty fuckin fun!

2007-12-08 09:28:15

2007-12-08 00:27:32

deforgeo :

YES.

2007-12-07 20:52:47

crosshair :

oh, I think yes. I mean, maybe not for a real metal band, but the Sword are an indie-rockers-playing-metal band, so this fits just fine.

2007-12-07 20:43:33

dennyschmickle :
