The Dallas Observer's blog DC9 "honorably mentioned" our flyer, for Episode XLI, in their "Poster Of The Week" column.
"Brought to us by Brent Frishman (who's no stranger to having his work around these parts) of Gutterth Productions, this poster couldn't be ignored.
Promoting Episode XLI (41 to you non-Romans) of Gutterth's showcase series, Brent himself says, "The poster was made to have an old traditional Victorian feel, to juxtapose the lineup; since the bands playing the showcase are of a more noise/ambient/improv/experimental nature."
This is exactly why we ask you to tell us a little about the poster--some story behind why you chose a given particular style, etc.--so we can all hear it from straight from the designer's mouth. Feeling very "steam-punk" to me, the Victorian influence is very evident with the colors and the flourish/decorative motif. I am a sucker for this emerging style (although cringing for the moment when it becomes yet another trite trend, if it hasn't already), especially when combined with another archetypal style to create something "new" and different. Although, here, I'm not really seeing that, aside from the weathering that's been added for some textural detail. Nevertheless, it's a pretty poster."
