Please Let Klausen do the Posters for this!!!

Lizardking

Just hope they let Klausen do most if not all the posters for the East Coast Tour? I would prefer Brad but other artist not named Ames Bros. would be fine!!!

Klausen is just who I like better, but art is funny like that. I really hate some Ames Bros. and I'm sure some people dislike some of Brads work?

oh yes and BK is very original with his designs and color :rolleyes:

dont mean to keep arguing something as subjective as art... but honestly it surprises me how people go crazy over BK's straight-lined, monochrome, generic work and then just turn their backs on ames after years of great posters...

i say they try someone else like jay ryan or frank kozik... or employ the fans!

camaros

please!

Yellow Bedwetter

Amen, for all shows north of VA
let's keep pissing off the south and give them all the ames
haha

Ames Bros are great. Klausen is great. (both are kind of hit or miss)

But Rob Jones is bad ass! http://www.expressobeans.com/public/search.php?text=rob+jones&class=0

Especially his Raconteurs work: http://www.expressobeans.com/public/search.php?text=rob+jones+raconteurs&available=

Speaking of which. I scored Raconteurs tickets today for Vegas, late April!

it would unreal if pj could get rob jones to do some prints for them. his art work is unreal! especially the stuff he did for the raconteurs.

there are just so many better artists out there then ames bros. they seem to have lost something. anyone remember the canada 05 prints? probably not. seriously rofl

personally, i prefer quality art work to bright colors. dont get me wrong. ames has some nice prints but for the most part they are crap.

I agree about quality over quanity of colors. But I don't think the majority of Ames prints are crap--that is just silliness.

ok ok, maybe the majority arent crap. i had the 05 canada prints in my head when i wrote that comment. so i retract that comment but seriously remember these?

Klausen
Ames Bros.
Jones
Mathane
Fairey
Slater
McCarthey
Hampton

No doubt he has hit some homeruns--but I don't think the guys batting average is higher than Ames Bros.

Wonder if the posters have already been started?

Daniel Danger? He could do one. There are probably a few others too, but the idea is to make a series with different artists, different interpretations. It is probably way too late anyway.
