God, Blondie is such a fuckin' idiot sometimes. Although he does have a good point about PVTO.

"every Navajo rug has a flaw in it, so as not to offend the gods. " Similar thing with Tibetan Tankas. True fact. They always put a mistake in so as not to assume to be perfect.

I don't see any registration problem. How could there be? I thought of signing all my prints with thumb smudges, but I never get around to it.

2006-09-09 13:49:15

Casey Burns :

hmmm, i haven't read all these comments, but from the last two, i would just like to add that ... these are posters. many of my posters have smudges, bent corners, and other freaks of handprinting. the whole process is so tactile, that when i see a "perfectly printed" screenprint or letterpress piece, it just leaves me cold. bring on the humanity and human "error", if you want to call it that.

2006-09-09 13:43:17

bdix :

so we've all learn a valuable lesson here.... Peveto sucks.

2006-09-09 13:40:56

I'm going to go buy myself lunch.

Hi Dirk.

2006-09-09 13:40:39

MrBlonde7 :

I misspelled 'spurned.'

2006-09-09 13:40:32

John A :

wait, will someone buy ME lunch?

2006-09-09 13:40:15

MrBlonde7 :

I appreciate the reply, Dirk. I don't feel like I was cheated. Like I said before, I love this idea, and that's why I bought the poster. I guess my discriminating eye looks for different things than yours when all is said and done. Haven't seen any others in the edition, so I don't know what i'm missing out on in a 'bigger picture' sort of sense, but I am happy with my print. I can see how my statement would seem unfair, being that it was said from an ignorant point of view. So, being that this 'discussion' has sprurned me into action, and i've learned that letterpress is no easy feat, as well as the fact that you don't look for exactness the same way I do, I'll rescind what I said.

2006-09-09 13:39:48

Dirk Fowler :

Geez. Mr. Blonde, I believe you have the right to say ANYTHING YOU WANT about it. But, if you were unhappy with the quality, you should have just told me. I would (and will) gladly replace it. I've done that for folks before. I'm just not usually concerned with smudges, misregister, etc. Not that I don't care about quality, I'm just not really thinking about the collector when I am printing. I'm not sure "flawed execution" is a fair statement, but, sorry if you feel you got cheated.

2006-09-09 13:33:04

Jeph :

I agree with whoever will buy me lunch.

2006-09-09 13:23:33

You suck. Other designers might suck, Peveto, but you suck the most.

2006-09-09 13:11:42

Designers suck. Ask Murphy.

2006-09-09 12:33:01

RADAR :

yes at least 50% of the time.

2006-09-09 12:32:08

MrBlonde7 :

I took the time to look at Letterpress description on Dirk's site, and can appreciate the trouble and time spent on the prints he makes. That being said, it's difficult to keep in mind that I can raise (what I believe to be) a valid point and still have to worry about getting jumped all over by designer after designer. I do not know the trade, and part of why I am a part of this site is my desire to learn more about design, print, and the subtleties. If this is a place that wants to help foster talent and inspire budding young artists, I suggest that a different approach be made. Or maybe I should just stop crying in my tea. You guys are all assholes, but that's part of the charm here.

that hat looks like Murphys hair

Oh mazn I agree with 8 and... Pevetoa should shut up

2006-09-09 11:27:31

stinkbait :

8ball needs to shut up just because.

2006-09-09 10:12:24

Bob Caruthers :

The only time registration should become an issue is when it supposed to be in register and it is not. In Dirk's case, accurate registration is of no importance (as it should be). The miracle of Dirk's work is that the registration is as close as it is considering the equipment he works with. Besides, perfect concepts trump perfect registration every time. Keep them coming, Dirk!

2006-09-09 07:34:20

8ball :

Mr Blonde does bring up a great point...he saw it from a fan point of view...he didn't know the effort involved...and he basically called it as he saw it. ..what's the problem? While other poster geeks might "get it", he wants to know what makes it special. What's wrong with questioning "art" and it's delivery?

2006-09-09 04:23:29

MrBlonde7 :

Well, despite the fact that everyone disagrees with me over something I am ignorant about, at least my comment pumped up the postcount by like 30.

2006-09-09 03:16:01

Mikey Jacket :

yeah, dirk should just have his posters done offset from now on.

2006-09-09 00:11:30

MikeBarn :

Registration is soooo overrated! Dirk, maybe you should start using crosshairs, we find it makes printing so much more efficient. Good luck in the future. HAH!

2006-09-09 00:03:53

RADAR :

i see it like 10 times every flatstock, people asking for an unflawed print, i dunno, it just gets to me. I try to keep it close but dang this shiz is done by hand. and dirk this is tits.

2006-09-08 23:57:20

stinkbait :

Dirk always has massive ideas. Trachtenburg Slide Show was as brilliant as it gets

2006-09-08 23:55:57

simple shape + simple process + huge freakin idea = greatness

and Lonny's $20 went to me instead and I bought a salmon burger with it.

2006-09-08 23:49:57

Mikey Jacket :

I hope that someday I can make imperfect posters as well as dirk can.

2006-09-08 23:48:21

RADAR :

i had a print at flatstock that was a little off and this woman asked if she could have another one i said no and gave her her money back. that was 20 bones i didn't want.

"letterpress ain't perfect... unless Dirk's doing it". I'll sell that one to you Dirk. Let's negotiate.

2006-09-08 23:39:02

Mikey Jacket :

that's why dirk rocks soooo hard!

2006-09-08 23:36:10

Mikey Jacket :

the dude is moving around hunks of wood on a piece of metal. Come on! the whole processes beauty is based on the fact that it's not perfect.

2006-09-08 23:35:19

bdix :

Dirk's posters are beautiful in person and I recommended them to several folks this past weekend during FS10. Needless to say, they were more than impressed with their purchases.

2006-09-08 23:34:35

stinkbait :

mr blonde needs to shut up. try letterpress and you'll see how good dirk is.

2006-09-08 23:31:08

Mikey Jacket :

I second registration being overrated

2006-09-08 23:04:27

Dirk Fowler :

Mr. Blonde, sorry for the "flawed" execution. If you saw the way I print, you'd think it is amazing I can get that close with registration. If I get within 1/2 an inch I consider it "perfect". Registration is overrated.

2006-09-08 20:52:48

I have this bad boy. The concept is fuckin' SWEET, but the execution(in terms of print job)is flawed. Register is way off.
