Brendan Jordan :

So, what size are these printed at anyway?

ZELIG :

They could have looked all literate and shit and stuck the rose logo floating between Bloom's knees in the bathtub.

2008-01-22 21:35:03

Brendan Jordan :

The Gaelic version of "Jordan" is "Mac Surtain" of something to that effect, but the Dublin side of my family is Corry.

HYNES :

i scratch writins on a old log

swampviking :

Get a blog you two.

HYNES :

its from about the 10th century - so no, i'm not descended from Normans.

2008-01-22 17:02:05

whippingtom :

Named after the good A.S lords of Oxfordshire. Sort of like a slave name

2008-01-22 16:59:40

HYNES :

the gaeilge original is Ó hEidhin which means descended from Eidhin. I know its one of the original 36 (?) irish families but before that i dont know - Hynes is the anlo saxon translation.

2008-01-22 16:58:25

ricv64 :

so is Hynes like a real Irish name ? or is it from Norman ansestors ?

2008-01-22 16:51:08

HYNES :

good riddance, criminal scumbag

2008-01-22 16:47:29

whippingtom :

Thanks, but I'm a generation removed from that god forsaken shithole

David O daniel ?

Brendan Jordan :

Let's all sing some of "Stephen Behan's Chorus"

2008-01-22 16:35:50

Brendan Jordan :

Hynes beat me to it.

VonDada :

Brendan Behan would be a great choice. Holy crap, perfect actually. Huge talent.

Brendan Behan

scrojo :

jackie collins!!!!

2008-01-22 16:30:24

HYNES :

the correct answer is brendan behan - Actually thats a no-brainer writer to use in conjuction with Ryan Adams, with the drinking etc the guy even had an album called whiskeytown, didnt he?
hell you could have put a cowboy hat on shane macgowan and it would have worked better than Joyce.

2008-01-22 16:30:16

whippingtom :

Johnathon Swift!

2008-01-22 16:25:33

VonDada :

He was Welsh.

ricv64 :

dylan thomas ?

2008-01-22 16:19:19

VonDada :

I would like to champion using Samuel Beckett to represent Dublin's writers from now on. He's so much more punk rock.

2008-01-22 16:17:17

ricv64 :

I know that chick used on the cover on her big selling book , she works in a coffee place

2008-01-22 15:04:27

whippingtom :

Marin would be an Isabel Allende poster! Thats so cool! I'm there!

2008-01-22 15:02:56

ricv64 :

Ryan Adams is coming to The Marin civic , same place Frampton come alive was recorded , Learn to drive David

2008-01-22 14:59:34

whippingtom :

Oh, I think this is genius. And if Ryan Adams comes to Oakland you should do an Amy Tan illo. Nothing says Oakland like Amy Tan.

2008-01-22 14:57:16

HYNES :

yeah this kind of sloshes all over the place.
daymon states below there was a stipulation to not use the name but the logo instead, it be not about RA in the slightest and he says they both write. Its arguable i suppose but its not the best solution by a long shot and the connections are vague at best.
All that aside, the illustrations great - I just think using Joyce as reference to dublin (which is whats happening here, despite the claim of the "both writers" angle) is as cliched and overused as it gets. This image in all its re-used forms like the wilco poster probably appears on a trillion different pieces of merch from book covers to teacloths.
its 2008 = its not joyce's Dublin anymore.
I'd be interested to hear what sales are like - maybe dubliners are'nt sick of this yet?

2008-01-22 14:29:15

swampviking :

I just delivered a bunch of Ryan Adams posters to LA on Friday. Good job on all of 'em.

2008-01-22 14:28:51

Zach Hobbs :

well, what you have here is a james joyce poster. with a tiny ryan adams logo and big fat DUBLIN. it's like the tshirts around here that say "Chattanooga" or whatever. it's citymerch, not rock poster. But you know, I ain't hating on daymon. bringing a city into a concept is fine, but this is weirdness.

2008-01-22 14:12:16

HYNES :

actually i think incorporating a "city" thing into a concept can work - depends on the city. But i agree there needs to be a connection somewhere.

2008-01-22 14:04:41

HYNES :

what, using no band name or pulling a prince?

2008-01-22 14:00:16

Zach Hobbs :

Edit: the fact that this has so little to do with Ryan Adams.he's using a city or an author to sell his thingg? Whatever.

2008-01-22 13:59:07

Zach Hobbs :

seems like a dumb strategy to promote your show. Even as merch... makes little sense to moi. berzerk.

2008-01-22 13:58:33

HYNES :

Hopefully you realise the irony of a company called beyond the pale doing a poster for a show in Dublin lol. Very nice illustration but seriously, using Joyce as a reference for Dublin in this day and age should be as dead as the man himself.

2008-01-22 13:45:33

craig :

nice illustration.

2008-01-22 07:17:32

Brendan Jordan :

Not a big fan of Ryan Adams, but I like this poster a lot.

2008-01-21 12:36:15

comahead :

another good one john.YIPPY

2008-01-20 19:44:36

Pfahlert Creative Labs :

kinda related to the concept we did here. sharp illustration man. cool to see two completely different styles, nice job. http://www.gigposters.com/poster/89796_Wilco.html

2008-01-20 16:32:57

beyondthepale :

Nothing too specific. Both are writers. Ryan didn't want it to be about him in the slightest. It had to be about the city he was playing in. James Joyce Dublin John Beyond The Pale.

2008-01-20 16:28:37

Steve Chanks :

Am I missing something? what Identifies this as a Ryan Adams poster?

2008-01-20 14:50:19

Gaither :

very nice

2008-01-20 08:17:16

beyondthepale :

This is one of 80 + posters we are still doing for Ryan Adans. He stipulated that we can't write up his name on the poster, we must work in the rose logo instead. The streets of Joyces Dublin lend a nice backdrop. John at Beyond The Pale

i was honestly about to make an "irish-wannabe" joke till i saw the venue....... i'll just shut up now.
great line weight.
