You see, there once was this man. From Nantucket, it was said. As the legend goes...

Guy is a wonderful storyteller. You haven't lived until you've heard his adventures. Great print!

andydiesel :

you should be a storyteller Guy.

guybur :

listen to Strangulation and picture him singing that to the landscape, telling the wind about those people he knew.

sunsetbrew wrote: looks great. is that a weed eater? a year into the isolation, the cold and the freeze-dry took it's toll on his old acoustic and the only good it could do would be to add to that row of grave markers along the ridge. old pipes and empty gas bottles, a few strands of filament and a handfull of loose screws and threaded machine parts came together to make a makeshift instrument to pluck as the seven-month sun cycle finally gave way to a seven week sunset. it wasn't in any kind of tune and the hollow reverberation didn't warm the heart enough to stand the coming cold but it was enough to fill the endless wintry lonliness, and just enough to accompanying the last cracking whispers of a song forced through dry lips singing their last. ---- pedini has the right story going. i like to think of most posters as having a story behind the image (i use a lot of figures so there ought to be a story for the character) and the story is as you make it. the band's music does reverb and also spells out a lot of forlorn moments as well as blast offs (see my other mmj poster where the figure rocks to the sunrise/sunset). Jim James specifically asked for NO COUNTRY imagery for some things we are working on. So... As for my type, it speaks well of you.

I was instructed to mix the inks in a lunar eerie fashion.

Michael Apparatus :

Now I feel scared and alone and I don't know what to do. I don't like this poster anymore.

2004-04-29 16:03:50

Pedini :

or picture jim james traveling through time and trying to make it in the indy scene of a barren, wintery post-apocalyptic future... eventually succumbing to the strain of being a stranger and playing his last gig to the wasteland... never to be heard from again

2004-04-29 16:01:10

Michael Apparatus :

Gotcha. I was really just making light of the big "A Question" debate going on in the forums.

2004-04-29 15:58:50

Pedini :

michael- to me it looks like the desolate feeling in the MMJ songs I really like, like bermuda highway for instance. I can just imagine that that wasted microphone once had an assload of reverb on it

2004-04-29 15:54:40

Michael Apparatus :

Oh, and this is nice...I meant to say that first.

2004-04-29 15:50:54

Michael Apparatus :

Besides the hair...what does this have to do with the band?

2004-04-29 15:50:29

Pedini :

I agree Jason. I've talked to some people who don't care for Guy's type, but I think its very well done. I'm not good at combining illustration with machine fonts, I admire Guy's ability to do so.

2004-04-29 15:35:54

goad74 :

I don't know if I've said it before but I know I've definately thought it before. Guy's stuff is a perfect example of incredible illustration and great design working together......

2004-04-29 15:16:06

Kurt :

Jesus, what a great poster!

2004-04-28 13:25:08

whiteyhouston :

2004-04-28 13:19:36

tanxxx :

2004-04-28 13:04:06

Tooth :

if I actually believed Guy was from this planet his talent might depress me,

2004-04-28 12:57:27

El Negro Magnifico! :

I'm burning with envy over here! This fuckin' rules!

All Hail.

EdGossage :

guy this is a sweet illo, and i think it shows your versitility as a illustrator. Its your style, but much different than the rest of your pieces. Very nice.

2004-04-28 12:38:52

ZELIG :

Christ.

2004-04-28 12:36:16

guybur :

2004-04-28 10:57:01

Cody Pomeroy :

woah :o

2004-04-28 10:55:27

guybur :

I'll post a better pick in a forum. the brown linework softens the image.

2004-04-28 10:48:54

ajosephb :

Absolutely amazing... I am going to see MMJ in a couple weeks... I wanna see closer detail on this one. Grade A Stuff Guy.

2004-04-28 10:43:43

guybur :

the lonliness of the interstellar troubadour, marooned, alone, and singing his last ballad to the lengthening shadows. the band didn't want 'country' so i immediately thought intergalactic stranded troubadour isolation and slow death. in a four color screenprint (10 x 23)

2004-04-28 10:39:42

miklay :

damn, this kills!

2004-04-28 10:07:59

whiteyhouston :

2004-04-28 02:03:46

B-DROID :

very, very cool. Makes me think of star wars for some weird reason

2004-04-28 01:23:13

the left handed angels :

I like it a lot, but why do I hear "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" in my head wheever I look at it?

2004-04-28 01:07:59

Dan Keezer :

whoa.. i didn't even realize that was an original illustration, man.. that -is- incredible

2004-04-28 01:05:53

Evolution :

Oooh. I'm the first person to say how incredibly awesome this poster is. Guy's stuff keeps getting better and better. Is this screened?
