Melvins gig posters get their own topic

[spunkmonkey]

Aha - yeah I can see how that would read as me just phoning it in.

I actually spent forever on the design, but forgot they were due at the venue on the 7th. Around 6pm (in the middle of dinner) I texted Swampy just to check when they were supposed to be dropped off. When he replied "Tonight, dummy" I raced to my shop and cranked the prints out. The design was already done, I just printed them at the last minute.

Sorry if I seemed defensive!

No worries.

i like it a lot, took me a little while to find the date and band name, well done!!! i consider this more art then just a show poster.

Well put, I could picture it more as an album cover.  That picture is really sick! I love it!

Damn, that's a lazy poster.

Sorry, that was a little harsh.  It was just my initial reaction to reading that it was one color, "cranked out in a single evening".  Also, in my opinion a gig poster should feature the gig info a little more prominently (it took me a minute to find it as well).  It does look cool, just more of an art print than a gig poster.

The poster is really nice,IMO. Well done.

it's pretty hard to fuck up a melvins poster. after all, it does say "melvins".

I think it's a stunning image.

Whether it be good or bad feedback, any poster that can create two pages of discussion deserves a pat on the back/job well done.

Art exists to talk about things, or to simply make conversation.

Well yeah. What's the point if there's nothing to discuss?

Oh i didn't mean it like that. I agree. I just thought it was interesting to single those things out above or before the fact that art can, or does also reveal or display a sort of truth or beauty or understanding or narrative. I don't know, those things are tricky to define or put into words. Im personally not usually so interested in art that merely opens up a dialogue of some sort tho.

I don't mean to be awkward there i just find all that interesting to consider.
