The Pearl Jam 2016 Poster Experience!

Disco Portland

4 new artists I don't currently have in my Pearl Jam room = WIN for me!

-Buru-

I think Feldman may be my favorite. Probably in the minority here.

I'm not sure how it will look like hanging beside other posters. Hmmm

Who's trying for Merch Thursday? Only negative is not being able to take it into the Cubs game

Pearl Jam is set to rock Wrigley Field once again for two big shows on August 20 and 22. Brad Klausen has done one of the posters for the concerts, with it he has combined the world of rock and baseball perfectly.

The poster is a 6 color screenprint measuring 13.7 x 25 inches and on the back features a heart touching tribute to his father who played baseball and some of Harry Caray's famous quotes.

The variant edition will only available from Brad and features the colors of the Seattle Mariners.

IMO, the Klausen will be the big hit poster/print at Wrigley like the Thomas was at Fenway. Those two will be the ones to have.

I like Taylor's because it's a subtle nod to both baseball and it being an American past time.
One lonely bat surrounded by the Eagle. Taylor's knack for details is always impressive.

Agreed

@ Ken Taylor

Pleased as punch and super excited to reveal my Pearl Jam poster for this weekends Wrigley Field shows. Available from their merch stand its a 12x36” 6 colour print with a metallic gold. Go grab one if you are there!
Huge thanks to the band and the awesome @mrtsurt.
One of my most fun jobs this year for sure.
cheers!

Prints go on sale August 23rd.

Love Brads - then again I normally do.

Not too fussed on the others. The Eagle is nicely done, but storing those dimensions is impossible here as our sleeves are a bit shorter than the ones in the states and leaves the 36inch prints hanging out the top by a few inch.

The question remaining is do i need a regular BK or a variant

BCBA

My wallet is thankful. None of these prints jump out at me as a non-attendee. I like tge faile but the humanoid dog distracts me from the rest. I like klausens print too but it doesnt leap out as a must have

CantKeepmedown

I still think the Fenway Thomas is the best of the 11. Faile is the one I'd really want out of this bunch.

Seems like people have a lot of different opinions here, which is good. Hopefully everyone will get what they want.

BCBA

Actually thinking the feldman is going to be really sharp in person

ski-bum

Out of this bunch....Taylor by far.
Have to agree Thomas still wins it.

Merkin Baller

Out of all 11 prints, the Thomas is the only one I would put in a frame & hang in my house.

The Klausen, Faile & Taylor are pretty cool, but not frame worthy IMO.

Think the top 3 from Fenway (Thomas, Mark, Ames green monster) beat the top 3 here.

Having said that, I'd trade my extra Fenway Ames green monster for a klausen if anyone is interested.

That Faile

Go on....

Love that Brad dedicated his print to his dad. That being said, for me, Joey Feldman's is the winner, and probably the only one that does it for me.

That's for me, as well!

I definitely want the Taylor, but that Klausen is growing on me. I'd have to go with the Cubs colors, just because it's at Wrigley.

The Klausen will be the one to sell out if any do. The others are great, but that one will appeal to the masses.

I like Taylor's but why is he killing an Eagle with a bat handle?

Yep, I agree.

Not a huge poster person, but those really aren't all that great. The skeleton is neat, but the rest? Glad I'm not a collector!

Have to agree with this. Love me some posters, Kens is cool but the colors dont do it for me and the variant for BK far surpasses the regular so that will be the only one I go after from the bunch. The Feldman is just beyond ugly, i would hang the vancouver pig thing before this one hit my wall.

wg

1) Feldman
2) Taylor
3) Faile
3) Klausen (variant)

I agree too. This one is the best of the lot... I threw it out of consideration based on the teaser, but seeing the entire thing changed my mind a bit. I dont think an electronic representation does the art justice. Interesting colors, perspective, interpretation, and a bit of abstract.
In person in screen print form its going to be really good. A variant could have potential as well

As someone that didnt go to either stadium shows..i like Chicago posters much better.

Faile for the uninspiring win.

Disappointed no one encorporated the ivy at Wrigley as a theme to the poster. Klausen used it but as a gimmick in a poster busier than a 20 car pile up. Baseball is an asthetically classic sport which screams old school in its presentation. I love his art but that poster is the equivalent to the Diamondbacks new "space age" unis....if it ain't broken don't fix it. I'd honestly say detailed elaborate ivy with the simple Cubs lettering for the info would have beaten all these. The Feldman is cool but looks way too much like an 80's album cover for the Mad Magazine Spy v Spy band. Reaper is a Klausen DC 2006 cop-job. Taylor is ok but could have used much better colors. Faile did copy an old El Jefe Design (their stuff is sick!!) Bouncing Souls DC poster with the local subway passenger theme but incorporates the Chicago asthetic well enough that it works. Would have rather a plain L train subway car encorperating the info wherever text was necessary for accuracy but I'm boring.

Fenway folks were lucky with that Thomas. After seeing both weekends posters I'm coming around on Ted Williams too.

I think it's a good thing that there is such a mixed review of the posters. This will give those going to the shows a chance to get what they want. It doesn't sound like it's going to be as much of a shit show as Fenway was with 1 dominant poster and the rest being so-so(at best).

I do agree with this. The Cracker Jack theme and "The Catch" are so popular because they captured the synergy between a gig poster, baseball, and a classic aethetic look.
