    Too many poster sales all at the same time. I spent all my money on Brad's site on Friday, but good luck to everyone who is buying.

    I love how he described his own posters as rare or "sought-after", if only the piccasso statue he used as the "alien" in the poster wasn't so weird looking I would be all over that poster but...!

    I went to both Chicago shows and like has been mentioned, they are both weak posters. I really wish they were better. Going to pass. I also blew all my money on Klaussen and MunkOne sales.

    I'm really surprised to see that so many people didn't like the Chicago 2 poster. I think it's awesome that Tom Tomorrow did a poster for the band, and as a Chicagoan it warms my heart to see that crazy ol' Picasso...I dodge its laser eyes almost every day.

    Ah well, more for me :lol:

    Glad to FINALLY see some new different artists. I think Backspacer art was incredibly refreshing and Chicago (doubt many of you even got the message) more interesting than the others including SLC's Red Mosquito everyone pooped over. Maybe cause I quit painting my walls blood red and black many years ago. :-D To each his own and like Avocado Lady said more for us.

    Time out, WTF?? Why are people bitching about the price??

    When Brad sells his A/P for $60 no one bitches about the price, or when Ames sells their A/P for $70 no one bitches. But now some new artist is selling his stuff in the same price range, and now it's to much???

    Really??

    I wasn't speaking directly to you Speedy....I know you aren't into the posters at all.

    I'm talking about all the poster nerds on this board and in this thread bitching about the price. Doesn't make sense to me.

    My guess??

    The poster wasnt a hit with the poster people.....
    You can get it on ebay for $30...
    This artist isnt anywhere near as popular as Klausen....

    Who is this guy to charge $100????

    Thats just my guess....But WTF do I know???

    Nail on the head Speedy

    Its nothing to do with the artist.

    Its more that the poster isnt good.

    charging that money for a substandard poster is a tricky one. Good luck to the guy i hope he sells out. and I expect they will becuase the people at the show will want to pick it up because they were there.

    But the casual fan buying this as part of a collection? not likely when Ames are firing again, and Klausen is knocking out posters like salt lake city, Manchester, torronto, etc

    that Chicago print just looks all wrong

    The design itself isn't half bad, I think it's the color choices and fonts that make it boring IMO.

    Not sure, I look at it and dont immediately dislike it, but cant put my finger on why i dont think its a good one.

    Its wierd i think.....thats it, its wierd.

    Indeed and he did, two of them. Very generous of him and I think some of you will like the poster more once you see it in person, but that's just my opinion. Once I saw it in front of me, I started to take the time to digest it more and it is a very nice piece. We will have two (Non Numbered) signed Chicago II posters on the Philly Fundraisers on 10/30 and 10/31. His public sale however is for signed and numbered pieces which is pretty cool to this guy.

    For me it's more about the artist and genre that help me appreciate it even more. Its odd to me that many of you think nothing of flipping or paying $75 plus s&h for a print someone bought at a show for $35. :-S . This guy has been an incredibly brilliant political satirist when many of you were still in diapers or popping zits. Also weird many of you spent hours figuring out the Backspacer artwork to rag on TT for selling his signed work for the going rate. Go figure.

    Hear, hear Mama! I bought the poster because I've enjoyed Tom Tomorrow's incredibly insightful political cartoons for years, and because it's got a classic pop art look. There's a reason Pearl Jam commissioned this guy to do their album artwork. He is talented as all hell.

    I guess he doesn't have the same name recognition with the PJ crowd as Ames does, but trust that he is well known. He will sell all his posters.

    Looks like they will be here for a while, strange there is no one per customer limit either...might help it sell out quicker though

    I entered 30 and it would let you buy that many easy....but then again type in 120 and it still lets you proceed :shock: No idea why I did that

    I enjoy the poster and picked one up. $80 shipped is a bit much but at least he limited the run to 100 and not 200 or 900 like some artists.
