    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?

    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.

    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

    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.

    Liking the Feldman and Klausen. The Feldman is something different and I think BKs stuff is always prety solid.

    Now to see how much of a shit show merchmania becomes!

    All posters are wall worthy, I'd be curious to see if any really sell out like Thomas at Fenway. Tough choice to make here.

    Ummm the Cliver isn't political is it? Looks like a 75 topps card.

    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.

    Mr Klausen quoting the great Willie Keller with that "hit em where they ain't" quote. I love prewar era baseball.

    My criteria for undesirable posters is met on 3 of these!

    Skulls: Cliver
    Birds of Prey: Taylor
    Humanoids: Faile

    so that leaves Klausen and Feldman

    So an Eagle is no good, but a Plague mask is?

    I think a Humanoid criteria would eliminate Feldman as well....

    And yes, the Cliver print is very political.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Just as long as we're clear on that.

    Too funny.

    BTW, I guess I could have asked about baseball/music orgies. I think that's what BK was really after... His dad on the back is just a cover.

    Ha.... yeah, the rules are loose though. Instituted after the Hartford 06 and Camden 08 posters.

    The other rule I forgot is Clowns are a deal breaker.
