why is tom such an asshole?

I like TMBG a lot. I think the execution on this could've been a bit better, most notably the perspective. But you know, it's totally decent if you squint at it a little.

i wonder if for the encore they did an alphabet song

VonDada :

Works for the band, or would, if it weren't so shoddily done. Looks like it was done with MS Paint.

...such controversy over a well-known piece of art... if I had known that sooner, I would have used an AP photo of the president.

I can't wait til my next batch goes up. I just did an "homage/in the style of" thing too.

oh man, it's obviously a parody. Satire. I think it's totally cool 2 du stuff like this.

awesome . let the lawyers get rich cause then they'll buy art and maybe commission some designers to do their business cards

john seabury :

We have precedent! bring in the lawyers. By the way, I too love Stienberg's work.

i know he sued over this http://ca.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/11/A70-5769

john seabury :

Pretty sure?

seriplop :

lame! steinberg is so fucking awesome and using his concepts this way to promote a terrible band is a total cheap shot . pissing on a great. and i'm pretty sure when he was alive he sued for similar "homages"

my next poster will be drawn on an iPhone... so cutting edge.

2009-11-14 19:25:46

slater :

@ bingebunny, it's clever to redraw that cover, from that magazine, for this particular band. It doesn't work for anyone but it's perfect for TMBG. Haters! All you you's! :)

deforgeo :

SCREW THE NEW YORKER AND THEIR FANCY COVERS ARGH.

2009-11-14 16:30:19

johnmav :

This was, of course, an homage... I even signed it with the tag "after Steinberg"... so I wasn't trying to put anything past anyone... My next poster will feature a lovely lady named Mona Linda... gonna be classic.

I STRAIGHT UP DON'T LIKE ANYTHING.

bingybunny :

TMBG r pseudo intellectual new yorker droll to a TEE. Dont like the poster , dont like them . Both trying to be clever and failing.

2009-11-14 13:30:24

john seabury :

They Might Be The San Jose Giants. I call 'em rock. Not cock rock.

2009-11-14 11:38:46

lil_tuffy :

Have you ever listened to TMBG, Frank? It has everything to do with them and I dunno if I'd call them "rock."

2009-11-14 11:23:03

Barry Obama :

wtf does some lame assed yuppie wann be psuedo intellectual new yorker cover hve to do with rock music? needs huge penis on it.

2009-11-14 10:41:07

john seabury :

I have seen dozens of "homages" based on that illustration. No big deal.

you're an a-hole JUSTIN!

El Negro Magnifico! :

It's obviously an homage. Call off the fuckin' witch hunt.

ricv64 :

did saul draw the bay bridge and the fillmore building in his ? rip off is pretty strong wordage for using a obvious reference. i'm pretty sure Arlene Owseichik wouldn't have ok'd it if it was a rip off

2009-11-14 07:12:28

bingybunny :

Saul Steinberg was clever. This is a rip off of a New Yorker cover for a gig in SF. What's clever about it ?

2009-11-14 06:43:52

oxygen :

Excellent, need one

2009-11-13 12:39:04
