I'm not advocating that every poster should look like this but(wait let me think about that for a minute...)I just meant to commend its urgency and its possibly(?)unconcious brilliance.
I like that this site has things we don't necessarily "get".
Balance is good.
As much as I can appreciate a super-crisply-illustrated-19-color metallic-splashed-diecut-dodechahedron-limited edition-hand pulled -screen print, I have to admit I see stuff like this and I get a stumbling visceral boot kick in the eye pan. Its like the seeing the all illuminating bright PUNK light again...(and hand lettering always just gets me all wiggly.)
plus sometimes an "untrained" hand will do things a "servant" hand would avoid like a whip...?
(or maybe its the drugs...i used to like them.)
