In this case, no, but if/when the site is capable of handling the traffic, would a faster connection be more advantageous over a slower connection?

I genuinly have no idea, hence the questions.

Brad Klausen Unleashes Artillery Design

As a teenager, Seattlest loved posters. We plastered Miami Vice stills rock gods, Tiger Beat pages swimsuit models and sports stars on our walls with tacks, tape and that white boogery stuff. Some boys grow up and out of the phase. Others become obsessed with poster art, set up savings accounts for Flatstock, and bitch about those who “flip,”—resell high-demand gig posters—for a steep profit. (We fall somewhere in between.) Artillery Design, a new site from Seattle-based artist extraordinaire Brad Klausen, should satisfy the latter group.

Klausen is synonymous with Pearl Jam. He and the folks at Ames Bros. have a Ticketmaster-like monopoly on the band’s image, and that’s a good thing.


Klausen is awesome. Just look at this crimson beauty for PJ’s recent Dusseldorf show.

Klausen is coveted. The poster at left goes for around $150 on eBay. We’re guessing it sold at the show for $25 US dollars. For most people, auctions are the only purchase option—and sellers know it. (Some collectors—and flippers—will be pissed that we advertised Artillery’s launch, ‘cause it could mean one less poster for them.)

Sadly, per a note from Klausen, “Until PayPal approves my application, I cannot accept payment.” And: “For now, all the posters are listed as SOLD OUT. (Keep in mind that some actually are sold out.)” We won’t even guess how much he’s asking for these babies. Or which of them will actually be available. Or what, if anything, will be signed and numbered.

Happily, he hopes to have his work officially up for sale today or tomorrow. Looks like it’s time for a payday loan, boys.

at the same time the Poster Gods must have agreed that i should be in on all this action, too.

Dear number 7,

Just curious, if you're still around reading. How many hits did your site take this afternoon? I was wondering what I'm up against.

Peace,
KJ
