    1 per artist... Ames Lexington made the final list... it was one of the last cuts
    that's kinda a dumb rule...

    It only allows 10 options in a poll otherwise I would have put them all on there

    Am I in the minority of folks who like the Hampton VA poster? It's a unique style. I also liked the color choice of Toronto 1. think Toronto 2 is too bland. Just my opinion.

    Hampton proudly hangs on my wall. I feel most people took issue with the bordering and band/event info as they were done in a very asymmetrical "modern-art" sense but didn't have qualms with the main image. Looking at his art and work for Vans something more colorful I think would have raised popularity but if he was going for his version of a Picasso PJ poster as the reverse art suggests the Spanish flag background is spot on.

    I feel the same way about the Fort Lauderdale poster, lol.

    As for "the best poster" I voted for the Philly Emek but now that I have the MSG owl next to it, I think the owl is the "better" poster.

    But the Emek is my "favorite"!

    I have the same fickleness with PJ songs, lol.
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)

    Klausen gets the edge to a great run. It's a great companion piece for his Hawaii print. They will hang side by side soon. Third man record/PJ print gets an honorable mention for the cool as shit factor iPiJi

    I was thinking the soda "Slice" but had the same reaction. Anything beach themed is super "Margaritaville" gimmicky IMO but I haven't seen the print in person.

    I would expect every print looks better in person, but not a huge fan either of the Fort Lauderdale. It is good and would be happy to have it for a show I went to compared to the ugly totem in Quebec, but not best of tour.

    This one's just not for me. Klausen is a beast but ironically I prefer the Bogota sitting in the shop to this tour's. SA 2005 and Dublin 2010 go down as 2 of the GOATs for me and surely he's gotta be one of the stadium posters.

    Something about that Lexington poster just has a vintage B-Rate Grindhouse look to it. I don't buy posters from shows that I don't attend, but the Lexington poster has tempted me on more than one occasion.

    but I think I like his Wrigley / Eagle poster better!!!

  • Toronto 2 - Mark5
    For me it's Ottawa, Toronto 2, Lexington but since Ottawa wasn't a choice I went with Toronto 2. I really like Mark 5's poster here. It's not as busy as the 2013 Buffalo poster (which i also like) and it looks like something that I can hang on my wall without questioning my sanity (Toronto 1 or that 2011 Vancouver poster).

    "The Catch" does nothing for me. I really don't get the appeal. Same with the Wrigley Faile.

    Fenway Thomas is most relevant/literal to the show's locations, love the owl from MSG1 for the detail but no NY feel to it, but as a Chicagoan the Faile for Wrigley has the best blend of local pop culture/references to make it my favorite.

    Idk why the NY Welker gets such little love.

    Maybe it's too cartoonish, but that is a sight to behold in person. I love it & will eventually frame & hang it even though I wasn't at the show.
    Same for the Ottowa, I can't believe that's still in the shop.


    Fenway Thomas is the best of '16 IMO, but I'm also biased: I'm a Sox fan & was at both shows.

    Yeah Fenway Thomas wins for me.

    I'm with you on both of these!
    None of the Fenway posters were "frame-able" for me.
    I really liked Kevin Shuss's attempt at a Hatch Show Print!!
    The Taylor, Klausen & Feldman Wrigley posters are better than the Faile for me!!

    I think Klausen had the best Wrigley.

    Faile was pretty cool, but I could never hang it.

    (No, it isn't any fancy framing.)

    Got this one hand delivered on Saturday by DD himself. (Thanks for grabbing it for me and saving it from the rain, Dave!) I love the poster and it was the ONLY Wrigley poster I would consider purchasing. I would have purchased "The Catch" if we had a Wrigley version.
