From an Artillery email:
"All of the orders from the last sale were put in the mail last weekend.
Sorry it took so long to get these shipped out, but in the midst of trying to
pack them all I had to also work on two new Pearl Jam posters...so it
took me a bit longer to get all the orders packed and in the mail. If you
still haven't received your posters after about two weeks send an email
and let me know (I say two weeks because sometimes things can get
stuck in customs for a while, so give it some time before emailing). "

Does that mean Ames is doing the rest? Not sure I'm thrilled about that...

    maybe tom tomorrow is doing a couple?

    what's your beef with ames? i think they generally do an incredible job. not every poster is a winner but i like their work a lot better than brad's.

    Im an AMES fan too, they have a couple of prints that were a miss, but it's really up to each person's taste I guess, probably some of the ones I like some others don't and viceversa.

    I love BK's work but AMES has some pretty good posters too :)

    I like them both, before BK came along Ames was amazing, but BK has done some seriously great work in the last 4-5 years.

    I think they both have big hits and misses, just recently BKs hits a better and Ames misses are worse
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    I love that BK is doing the shark awareness poster - everyone should but it just to help the cause! :)

    As for PJ posters... Ames has never gotten back to their 98 work, and they've been on a decline since with a small exception being that 2008 posters were better than 2006. BK's work isn't always a home run but its a newer option so that always helps. Just my .02 there...

    but they have done some really nice prints since then

    Older Ames stuff (98 is sweet) is great for me, but I just don't like their work in recent years. Brad also has many misses, but has plenty of hits.

    +1

    BK is more design forward and Ames is more retro, yes ames made some ugly posters but i have faith on the boys.

    Brad never said he was doing only 2 PJ posters... he did say there were a lot more posters planned for 09. I'm guessing the 2 he's working on finishing now are Toronto and Chicago, then we'll see some more for the rest of the tour (aka PHILLY)

    He's definitely doing a Toronto poster (just ask D). I'm not sure about the rest, but I hope he does the Philly shows.

    As far as Ames vs. BK, Ames definitely peaked in 98, like others said. Ames has a bigger body of work, but to me I'd like to have about 30% of their prints and about 5% are frameable. BK on the other hand, I'd like to have about 50% and about 25% is frameable. Ames has more prints, but I like a higher percentage of Brad's work.

    I just wish Ames would move away from the cartoon monster posters. 4 out of the 9 ames posters from shows I attended feature bush as a monster/gorilla. Very original! :roll:

    Yup, I'm tired of monsters, tired of politics, tired of skulls... Classic PJ posters are just the cool, subtle designs (Honolulus etc)

    I agree. Ames has not been bringing their A-game since 98 or so. I think the 2005 Canadian tour was the low point for the Ames bros, where they only had one poster out of about 12 that was even above average. That was also the time that Brad started making posters and he's designed a number of amazing prints since 05 - Gorge 05 & 06, Atlantic City, Hamilton, LA 06, Virginia Beach, Portugal/Spain, Dusseldorf, etc.

    I also prefer Brad's use of colours to the typical Ames bros white background poster with 2-3 colours in the print. But everyone has different tastes...

    What is this aversion to politics that I keep seeing around here?

    Art is politics, especially with this band. I would think that fans would want gig art that reflects the band's music and politics -- and the times.

    That said, some of Brad Kalusen's most amazing poster work is undoubtedly political. Washington, D.C., 2006; the Showbox poster; Camden 08; South America 05; Vedder Seattle 08.

    With the exception of London, they were terrible.

    Speaking of politics in prints...does anyone think we will see Obama (whether it be subtle or blatant) in any of the tour posters this year? I'm thinking there will be at least one.

    Well.. on a technical sense we'll see him in every poster. He'll be behind the booth taking a bit more $$ than normal from the merch sales. :D
