bdix :

nice. first thing I thought of was the Miami Hurricanes when I saw the color.

surrender :

above all else im impressed with how well you got these colors to work together. this poster isnt "for me," but i still think you did a great job and its a very effective poster.

If you have to ask...

Jared Davidson :

theres a good quote in 'The Art of Modern Rock'..."if you can't read it, maybe it wasn't meant for you.." or something like that.
Wicked poster.

Hi Brad! Let's drink hi-life again soon.

There is a long tradition of rock posters that are challenging to read. Take a look at some of the stuff that Moscoso did for the Family Dog in 1967, for example FD-51, FD-68, FD-75 & FD-86. And those were promotional posters, intended to get people to buy tickets for the shows. I like this poster a lot.

"this will be in books 50 years from now." I agree with Philaarts.

philaarts.com :

christ its a merch poster. its not a promo poster. they are sold at the shows the night of the show. its merch, just like a shirt or belt buckle and stuff.

VegetableLasagna :

it has rewatchability on par with the Big Lebowski, Slapshot and Spinal Tap.

perfect poster.

Dusty! :

When i saw the poster i didnt know what it was supposed to say, i sat for a really long 20 seconds and figured it out. The power of the piece it invites you in to check it out and figure it out.

"how bout next time i use helvetica and it will be nice and simple"
pwned!

evanmarnoch :

i had to try and draw "enough" in pictionary last night.. that was tough..

2006-07-09 15:35:49

BigBadDawoolf :

Unfortunately, you already know what this poster is SUPPOSED to say, so there is no way to take a fresh virgin look at it. YOu are welcome to think what you want, Seabury and I see it otherwise, according to his post. Enough

2006-07-09 15:32:33

evanmarnoch :

it says pearl jam twice..

2006-07-09 15:31:10

BigBadDawoolf :

Be honest, If this was shoved in your face, with no idea what it was about, you would know the date, maybe Denver but I doubt it. The Pearl Jam, still don't really see it. I do like the art though and Klausen's work.

2006-07-09 15:23:34

evanmarnoch :

i was agreeing with bryan, not wolfboy

2006-07-09 15:21:38

evanmarnoch :

i agree, sure.. some may have to spend a couple minutes trying to figure it out, but that makes it all the more interesting.. great job, solid design.. the colours are very nice

2006-07-09 15:21:04

BigBadDawoolf :

The poster works, IF, you already know what is going on. As you state, it's easy to find out where Pearl Jam is. But not from this poster. Sorry, I like the depiction, but can't read most of it. Like Klausen's work also.

2006-07-09 15:20:46

Bryan :

It says Pearl Jam (twice), the city, and the dates. It's not too hard to find out or figure out where bands the size of pearl jam are playing. Poster works.

2006-07-09 15:15:11

Brad Klausen :

how bout next time i use helvetica and it will be nice and simple

2006-07-09 15:15:08

BigBadDawoolf :

Exactly, you MUST know, aside from the date, what this poster says, in advance to figure it out.

2006-07-09 14:43:24

john seabury :

Great design, totally illegible, which is appropriate, since Pearl Jam sucks. Looks like the Pepsi logo was supposed to go in the little white hole, but was left out. Thank you.

2006-07-09 14:05:55

BigBadDawoolf :

Thankyou for the explanation, makes all the sense in the world. I was unaware of the non promotional use of the poster. As I stated, it is artistically a nice poster. I don't like pearl jam so it is all academic from that perspective.

2006-07-09 12:47:04

Ben Gelnett :

sooooo dope@!

2006-07-09 12:19:52

john_fuz :

It says the locale and date and year and could only be a commemorative piece for this particular show. No more arguing...

2006-07-09 12:05:32

Brad Klausen :

Pearl Jam play big corporate owned arenas...like the verizon center or the pepsi center...and being that these posters are sold day of show and not used as promotion, i have no desire to ruin a piece fo art by including corporate advertising.
Hence the absence of the venue name

2006-07-09 12:04:44

Evil Alice Corp :

for some reason, i knew this was a pearl jam poster at first glance without even reading the text. this looks really cool

2006-07-09 12:04:02

TheRumbleFish :

This is the most recdiculous arguement ever since the posters were never used to promote the show in the first place. It's got a name/place/date, and that makes it a gigposter.

2006-07-09 11:56:00

Dusty! :

Considering that it was a commisioned piece mainly to be sold at the venue i think the complaints of a missing venue name are invalid.
cool design.

2006-07-09 11:31:49

BigBadDawoolf :

Artistically interesting though.

2006-07-09 11:17:52

BigBadDawoolf :

Every concert poster should clearly state necessary info. THAT is it's purpose. If you did not know in advance what this was supposed to say, you would not know, except for the date. No venue noted at all.

2006-07-09 11:14:13

Leia :

not the venue name, but the city "denver" and the dates July 2nd and 3rd, and Pearl Jam are all there.

2006-07-09 10:51:52

Leia :

Looks to me like the Band name, venue and date are all on there, what makes it not a valid concert poster again?

2006-07-09 10:50:21

BigBadDawoolf :

Agreed, not a valid concert poster.

2006-07-09 09:00:36

bicyclejoe :

This isn't a concert poster. Where's the venue information? Junk.
