i'm pretty sure this hand of his is ripped (or maybe just a bit too "inspired" by) from saul bass' man with the golden arm icon.
so yeah i don't think it would be too wise for someone to use such an obvious refrence as their "thing".
darren-
i bought y. a copy of hight art (from p.m incidentaly) for xmas
we saw the round posters and got inspired.
no it's not the pope ( the pope wears a skull cap) it's a russian peasent girl from a book about vacationing europe from the 70's.
this is 12" and four color process (our 2nd 4 color process poster) and is cut by hand . we made 122.
the show is for our band and this other fucked up noise band.
so yeah i don't think it would be too wise for someone to use such an obvious refrence as their "thing".
