Show Posters

[Mr. Dylanja]

I've wanted to get it framed for a while but a decent custom frame of that size is very expensive and would take up a lot of space. I saw the original at CoSM and couldn't get over how spectacular it was in person.

I hear ya on the price, that's why mine isn't framed.

Also, NO FUCKING WAY, you've been to CoSM? I'm dying to see the "Net of Being" and the one in my avatar in person!! I can't imagine how vibrant they are, tell me more about the Chapel please!!

we were in town for APW and I wanted to check it out so we went and loved it so much that we ended up staying until they kicked us out so they could close! Your avatar, Theologue, was HUGE (maybe 18 feet wide and 6 feet tall) and was a centerpiece of the exhibit. Vibrant is a good word for Grey's art in person.. it's all so detailed and beautiful. My favorite part was the Sacred Mirrors of course, but Cosmic Christ was pretty great. My wife never cared for Alex Grey until she saw CoSM and now she loves his stuff. Supposedly, they are closing soon and moving out of Chelsea so go while you can!

[Mr. Dylanja]

Sooooooooo jealous!! They are closing this month I think Everything is moving to Chelsea with them and the new place looks like it's going to be pretty amazing. I'm going to try and get up there in July of 09. If not I will definitely go to his next Lecture/Live painting in LA. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm glad your wife is now a fan!! ~spiral out~

Jesus. I guess we should've gone then. Our friend told us to go, but we were lazy and too unfamiliar with transport to risk it.

Custom framing BLOWS. Even with the Michaels 50% custom framing coupon, my AC poster still cost $70 to be framed in the plainest, most boring black frame. That one my Of Montreal one is in is slightly bigger than the poster (see the tiny white edges if you look really close at the first picture) but the frame is wood, looks a lot prettier than the custom frame...and only cost $20.

Custom framing is way too expensive. However, a lot of the posters I want framed are really weird sizes. Oh, the dilemma.

[kitt kat]

^ Yeah. That's why I went custom for the AC poster. It was something like 11 x 17 6/13" (???!!!)

[psychic friend]

and to show how big it is, my cat will demonstrate:

great pic!

The poster I was referring to is 40" X 59" so custom is the only way I could go, but I agree for the most part...you can buy a 50% off frame at Michaels, acid-free backing and some spacers for a quarter of what you pay for custom. Although, if the print is valuable or you plan to keep it for a very long time, a nice custom frame with museum glass to prevent fading is worth it.

It's a really dicky thing to do on the poster maker's part.

you can do custom matting with a standard frame...its still not cheap though. I had to get daft punks alive 2007 poster custom framed but I used a cheap metal frame so it was about $150. Looks good though...can't find an image of it though. Its a large poster that I bought at vegoose when they played.

[prettydirtything]

just bought this one off of ebay for $5, nice! from the staples center show...

There has to be a MSG one from 12/17... Not that I can find though.

[justinaqui]

[Sonicifyouwantit]

Love this. Looks like a hell of a show too, Wolf Parade and Bell Orchestre.

I only started collecting show posters last year, here's one of the first ones I bought:

[MissingPerson]

That's fantastic.

[Boourns]

I can't deciher what annie wrote.

[MissingPerson]

"Dooobert Frooot!

XXXX

Portel"

And then the next bit's in Farsi.

[TallGuyCM]

I can't deciher what annie wrote.

Looks like "Dearest Frank" to me.

[amyzzz]

What's the "Potter" part say? "Dearest Frank, XXX Potter..."

[TallGuyCM]

I think it just says the word "poster".

I have the one from a couple nights later in San Diego...






Also, I know I am the only crazy human around here who likes the Mars Volta, but they really do have the coolest fucking posters... I bought this one for a couple nights later at Open Air Theatre, it's still up on my wall because I love it so:

[pancakespancakes]

Also, I don't think I ever posted this, Animal Collective & Grouper in Big Sur...



Unfortunately all I could take was this super crumby photo, it looks almost nothing like this in person... the colors just came out super weird in the picture

In reality the colors are very strong red, blues and yellows.

Wow, thats way cooler than any of the MMJ posters from shows I've attended. I also have that whale one from SD.

[Boourns]

So:
Dearest Frank!

But what's up with: "Alpac, !" on the right side? Annie sure is an interesting one.
