I had totally forgotten about the Fry Guys and the Captain Hook dude. I think in overall context of the Melvins and rock posters this uses the formula that Kozik put in place really well. It's like the perfect "1996" rock poster. And I like that very, very much. Again in context to the band. |

i disagree with the 'not original' comments. while the interpretation is not totally original, the poster is original in spite of it.
it has to be evaluated on different levels, not the least of which is that it is a concert advertisement. it's perfect for what it is. this is conceptually one of the strongest pieces i have ever seen. this is for a show right in the center of the bible belt alongside one of the longest interstate highways in the country. it attacks two very american things, fast food and the religious right, and does so deep in the heart of both. it fits the bands PERFECTLY.
we see a lot of posters doing what we do. for me at least, not many stand out like this one.
i apologize if i just stated the obvious while wasted again. i do that once in awhile. i like this poster. |

The Last Supper has been reinterpreted countless times by countless artists. One of my favorite artists, Ron English, has painted it a few different ways himself including using Ronald as Christ. For me, this set up never gets. As has been stated here repeatedly, it's a good drawing and an excellent print. I only hope I can find the cash before it sells out. |

i think it's this guy "Captain Crook was a pirate and is similar in appearance to the famed Captain Hook from Peter Pan. Unlike the Hamburglar, this villain spent his time trying to steal Filet-O-Fish sandwiches from citizens of McDonaldland while avoiding being caught by Big Mac, the Chief of police of McDonaldland. As part of the nautical theme of the character, Captain Crook used ships and waterways as means to escape being captured. In his final appearances, he was renamed simply "The Captain" and his character design made less sinister. The character was dropped during the streamlining of the characters in the '80s." |

Well All I have to say is that this poster is incredible...But...why does it matter if someone gives a negative comment? I wish this site had more of that, people giving crit. Its called a comments section, not praise. If a poster is good it should get good comments, and not everyone likes everything, but everyone should be able to speak their opinion. Calling people out for saying something thats not a hail of praise isn't right, we should encourage each other to be more honest and tell eachother what we really think, ya know? I am really sour that i had to miss this hometown show, and especially now that I have seen that this was the poster? DAmN! |

FLIPPERFINS : |
Hey, this is really terrific. I landed on the home page and as soon as I did, I said "ooh, what's this funky Melvins poster?" It grabbed my attention right away. (which served it's purpose) When I looked at it further, it's brilliant. It's pop culture, for the last 2,000 years, and has a great sense of humor (as does the band it's promoting for). It is a poke at iconic commercialism. It's an homage to one of the greatest paintings ever created (either Da Vinci's or Dali's, both are incredible) It is culturally relavent and people on the street will "get it". It's satire.
I agree with Andy D 100% on his comment. This is illustrated from our childhood's memory. I can tell it required a great deal of conceptual forethought. It looks as though you have all of the characters in their proper size proportions in their relative space and prespective. It's aestheticly pleasing and does it's job well.
My only critique is that the opening bands info at the bottom is a bit too distracting. It needs to be on there somewhere, but as it now, it detracts from the "artistic" aspect of the image and is competing with all the hard work you have done as an illustrator.
In order to make this a really nice "overall" piece, you have to change gears. You have to initially be an artist in creating a piece of "art or advertising" that YOU are satisfied with and is going to convey the visual image and message that you are presenting. Then when you are ready to tell people when to go and see the Melvins, you have to shift gears into "designer" mode. You have to be analytical with text placement, size, color, font choice, etc. The Melvins at the top is perfect. All the way perfect. But the rest can't really be an afterthought and just plunked on there at the bottom somewhere stretched across. My suggestion for band treatment for this particular piece is for it to be more subdued and taking up less space on the floor of the poster. It gets lost in the angles of the actual floor. Another approach, would be to tighten up text some and darken the floor color a bit with some shadows, then the yellow text would "pop" more. Bah, everyone's a critic. It's all a matter of opion, but I think it's a triple and could have been a homerun.
You see my point? This is a great poster, visually, you have grabbed people's attention right away and drawn them into look at the poster more thoroughly. They are looking at the chartacters and such. At this point ,they are close up on your image, you don't need to bombard them with subtext from across the street. The Melvins will get their fans to the concert on their own and this poster will bring in the outsiders.
Good job. Pony Boy. |

I like the little rats under the table
okay, Andy
never thought of myself as "not too bright" or a "hater"
all this praise, geez, I figured one
comment that wasn't favorable should be alright
seems like I have seen this imagery done so many times before
I have even liked this kind imagery
I am in on the joke
Dead Kennedys artwork in the 1980s,
Juxtapoz and Adbusters in the 1990s
I doubt my comments will matter to the creator
hell I wasn't hatin, it does look nice, knowing it was perfect CMYK printing is very impressive
not sure how people making a fuss over my own work matters
I've had plenty of negative comments, I can take it, give me some if you want
maybe I will learn something and/or
laugh it off
take it easy man, I like you

Keith- you are either trying to be a pain in the ass or you are not very bright. It's pretty easy to see why people like this poster so much.
1. The image is well drawn.
2. The imagery is funny and a lot of people like imagery like this. Pop culture icons, drugs, and bible references = funny to a lot of people.
3. The pic posted is a pic of the actual poster, the printing is dead on perfect CMYK printing.
You get a lot of people making a huge fuss over your posters, personally they are not my thing, i don't go posting on your comments how i don't see what the fuss is all about. But what i do know is that art that appeals to some and may not to others. |
