As one of the other artists who did a poster for this show I'd have to say I agree with the majority of whats being said about creative/originality issues with this....As far as dealing w/money,etc. I do posters for the love of the music and to build my portfolio....Right now its nothing more than a hobby which I occasionally make a few dollars off of....money means nothing in relation to continually pushing youre own artistic boundaries

2007-12-12 14:13:08

strawberryluna :

Quantum foam, also referred to as spacetime foam, is a concept in quantum mechanics, devised by John Wheeler in 1955. The foam is a qualitative description of the turbulence that the phenomenon creates at extremely small distances of the order of the Planck length. At such small scales of time and space the uncertainty principle allows particles and energy to briefly come into existence, and then annihilate, without violating conservation laws. As the scale of time and space being discussed shrinks, the energy of the virtual particles increases. Since energy curves spacetime according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, this suggests that at sufficiently small scales the energy of the fluctuations would be large enough to cause significant departures from the smooth spacetime seen at larger scales, giving spacetime a "foamy" character.[1] However, without a theory of quantum gravity it is impossible to be certain what spacetime would look like at these scales, since it is thought that existing theories would no longer give accurate predictions in this domain.

2007-12-12 14:05:24

art chantry :

casey - when you posted you item, i was writing mine. so, the overlap made a temporal shift in communication synapses.

2007-12-12 14:03:46

Casey Burns :

art, see my previous post about the real origins of those images. your point was right on, just the wrong mgazine/book.

2007-12-12 14:02:25

art chantry :

he probably painted over it anyway. he kept painting over the top of his classic paintings to "improve" them. the result is that many of his classic images were destroyed by the artist himself. very gay,

2007-12-12 14:01:53

art chantry :

casey - you are absolutely correct. i'm a big enough nerd that i went back and finally found old copies of eerie and creepy and looked at thier back issue ads. it's not there. so, you win 100%. i am wrong. so, i guess that means that frazetta really should not be taken seriously because he did a cover FOR molly hatchet, right? he was that big of a turd. too bad. i thought i was defending his integrity. ah, well...

2007-12-12 14:00:30

here's a really cool site with ALL the warren covers (creepy, eerie, vampirella), since we've digressed. i love those mags. http://www.pixeltube.com/wmc/index.html

2007-12-12 13:57:24

Casey Burns :

don't make me have a nerd-off with you, art! regardless, art's point stands: the images were licensed to the band, rather than commissioned specifically for the albums.

2007-12-12 13:53:08

Casey Burns :

okay, because i'm that big of a nerd, i looked it up in one of my frazetta books. the death dealer cover was originally the cover of Flashing Swords #2, edited by lin carter, dell books, 1973. the barbarian cover of hatchet's flirtin with disaster was originally for karl wagner's dark crusade, 1976.

2007-12-12 13:51:24

art chantry :

i think it was the cover for creepy #11 or 12. or maybe it was an earlier issue of eerie. but, it WAS a cover.

2007-12-12 13:50:25

art chantry :

well then, maybe it creepy's sister magazine eerie. either way, it was an old re-use of a frazetta image. frazetta did a lot spot gag-cartoons in early men's magazines. during this period he was an inker for al capp on his l'il abner strip (those frazetta chicks are all actually variations of daisy may). he began doing the famous work on creepy and eeire for warren magazines (also publishers of famous monsters - which actually began life as a me's magazine called "after hours". james warren fancied himself as a sort of lowbrow hugh hefner.) he started doing the images for those magazines because he was fast and good cheap and worked down the hall. he hung around with a crowd of body builders and sports junkies and car geeks that included ron haydock who wrote and designed for ackerman and warren on fm. anyway, without those early issues of creepy, frazetta would never started his eventual carrer, as far as i can see. creepy and eerie were his launching pad. that's where he did virtually all of his most famous and earliest work. after that he worked on blazing combat and then he landed the conan and tarzan stuff. the rest is lowbrow kulture history.

2007-12-12 13:49:38

Casey Burns :

frazetta did a lot of the early creepy and eerie covers, but the molly hatchet images were not among them. death dealer may have appeared elsewhere before the molly hatchet record, but not on creepy.

2007-12-12 13:42:11

art chantry :

well, actually frazetta did that image used on the molly haychett cover for a magazine called "creepy" where it was a cover image. molly hatchet simply licensed the use of that image like 10 or fifteen years later to use on their record. so, frazetta didn't really do a cover for molly hatchet, he just took their money and giggled.

John A: Obviously that is not what I meant. I just think that it is worse when the creator of the original art is still out there trying to make a living from their hard work, and then someone comes along and rips them off for their own gain. Dead artists should be given respect as well. Works in the public domain exist for a reason, and it shouldn't take a lot of effort to figure out what is cool and what is not.

Not everyone can have the ability to be a great or even good illustrator. If someone finds themselves in that category there are tons of other ways to communicate your ideas. There are TONS of clip art and public domain images out there that can be utilized to accomplish the same result without stepping on the toes of living creators. Which I think is really the problem I have with this.

the more i think about this, the less i understand it. what's the point of making posters if you're not putting any original thought into them? taking somebody else's art and slapping text on it is really that amusing? maybe for fliers for crappy bar bands i can kind of understand... but there is NO reason for this poster to exist. two other people made posters and put some creativity in them. and i also seriously doubt this was hung up anywhere. so your telling sean agnew that you'll make a poster for him, and he lets you in for free, or what? that's the only reason that makes sense.

Hrabovsky :

Or at least if you're gonna boost easily recognizable artists work give them a credit on the piece. But that isn't really doing them any justice either.

Seamus McClernan :

I don't wanna dogpile this poor misguided fellow, but there are certain Artists that I (and I'm sure many here as well) feel are "Holy Men" - Frezetta's status is high in that pantheon. Kirby is most definitely a "King." Vaughn Bodé. Basil Wolverton.

i think some of the official Sword merch is ripping off Frazetta, too. So there's that.

3d glasses :

anyone got a link to frazetta plz?

2007-12-11 10:24:54

JavaFiend :

If you are going to rip off this style from anyone, rip it from Mike Hoffman. He has been making a career out of ripping off Frazetta for years.

Iron Canvas Studios :

yup - type is nice, image rip - not so nice. Wait, is that a split foundtain!

Mark McCormick :

DISrespectful.

2007-12-10 22:41:38

Seamus McClernan :

Oh snap! I'm so pissed-off that I missed that detail - otherwise my initial disparaging comment could've been WAY funny.

2007-12-10 20:45:59

JohnnyThief :

The irony is the venue is a fucking CHURCH,... Thou shalt not steal ring a bell?

2007-12-10 20:38:50

MaximumFluoride :

I think Frazetta would be very unhappy to see his art used without permission.

2007-12-10 20:36:05

Pfahlert Creative Labs :

Frank may not approve. Like the type treatment, but seamus speaketh truth.

2007-12-10 20:03:24

Seamus McClernan :

No. No. No. If you've got the balls to use a Frazetta, you damn well better bring something MORE to the table.
