estrangedtwat Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yeah, I get they were going for a Mad Max thing but I sure wouldn't want those ugly guys with those eyeballs looking at me from my wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 My biggest complaint besides the endless skulls is that the GnR logo always sticks out like a sore thumb. IMO, it should be 'drawn' in, rather than a copy/paste job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk_on_Drugs Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It's nuttier than squirrel shit to think people would even consider paying a grand for a poster. Some are cool and everything, but I probably won't even be willing to pay 50 for one in London (I know I wasn't in New York), you could get a couple more gigs for 1000. Major props to some of you though, I admire it in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the best collection of lithos now. I don't see European tour eclisping the Japanese tour in quality. 17 minutes ago, Drunk_on_Drugs said: It's nuttier than squirrel shit to think people would even consider paying a grand for a poster.

Major props to some of you though, I admire it in a way. It was the design of that particular litho and its scarcity they drove the price that high. And out of the 150 printed probably only a third or less made it to the secondary market, making it even scarcer. And the design was flawless. Probably the best so far. I wouldn't wipe my ass with these NZ/AUS ones. And you are correct, most are just kinda cool, nothing too special.

I think I've said it before but I'm kinda shocked and disappointed that those generic designs are done by the same person that made the Kobe samurai and the Wellington Maori.

I wasn't a fan of the Brisbane designs, but i think these Sydney ones are cool. I understand why people don't like them, but they are perfect for Aussies who grew up with or otherwise enjoyed the Mad Max films. I reckon the Melbourne one might be Ned Kelly. Who knows for Adelaide and Perth. Edited February 12, 2017 by Live Like a Suicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) I had never heard of Arian Buhler until a few weeks ago but I gotta say, I reallly like what I'm seeing. Great eye for composition and layout, really amazing line work, and also lots of different styles. Versatile. And they all have a genuine traditional "rock poster" feel to them. I love the Japan ones the best, for sentimental reasons of course, but the Detroit one is fantastic with the car and the bullet. Wellington Maori is awesome. Jersey Devil is cool. Cincinnati is a fucking masterpiece. Everything about the image...the colors, the lines, the lettering....that's an all time classic rock poster. I'd put it right up there with Frank Kozik's best stuff. Edited February 12, 2017 by estrangedtwat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking through a million pages of this thread is really annoying. I saved decent clean jpgs of all the ones Arian designed from his instagram. For the ones he didn't design, I tried to get them all from this thread or ebay auctions, but those aren't as good cause they're always warped, have shadows, etc. I used my meager Windows Paint skills to try to clean them up, but they're not so great. As far as I know, I have jpgs of all of them with maybe the exception of maybe some special ones in Coachella or Vegas. I'll post them all here or in another thread, but I need to put them on an image hosting site first right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estrangedtwat Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Took me an hour, but I'm finished. I apologize for how shitty all of the non-Arian Buhler ones look, but there wasn't much out there to work with and I only used Paint to "fix" them. Many thanks to everyone here whose pictures I stole! If there is anything missing or better pics out there, please let me know and I'll edit the posts!
