I would also encourage anyone to read the ebay feedback of those posted auctions. Why do you encourage people to read the eBay feedback?

Popular Post amaninjapan Posted March 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2019 Okay, so I thought I'd stop being lazy and reveal some information about the Tulsa litho. I've known this information since about July of last year but just never got around to sharing it since it had originally been shared with me in confidence. But since the topic came up again here recently, I decided it might be interesting enough to make sure it was okay to divulge this information and I have received the all-clear to do so. The Tulsa lithograph was originally designed to be used for Cleveland (the artist's home city), however was eventually bumped further down the tour schedule to be used for Tulsa and was appropriately modified. The original Cleveland design showcases the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge's iconic stone statues entitled "Guardians of Traffic" and was originally designed to be 12in x 36in specifically to be able to display more of the statues and in turn compliment and echo the vertical nature of the guitar illustration. The original Cleveland litho looked like this: but was obviously turned into this: 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcs953 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 That would have been a beautiful litho for Cleveland, Ohio screwed again, instead we got that ugly looking too dark design. Cleveland just can’t catch a break. Thanks amaninjapan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcs953 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Wish it was possible to get the original design for Cleveland, wonder if any were made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcs953 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Just putting this out there for the group, I purchased the Seattle litho from McCoyGnr, great experience and a fair price, honest seller, the eBay feedback doesn’t tell the whole story.

estrangedtwat Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Aman......thanks so much for sharing that original Cleveland image. That was one of the most exciting things I learned/got to see when I visited you cause as a native Clevelander, this image would have been a hundred times better than what we got. I'm glad that thanks to you, Cleveland fans can get an idea of what SHOULD have been!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that thanks to you, Cleveland fans can get an idea of what SHOULD have been!! It's definitely a far more appropriate image and has more gravitas, right? When swapped around and substituted for another city, it just doesn't feel the same. I think that's the reason that I love the design of Cincinnati but it just doesn't win me over completely. I understand the reference but I still think the astronaut would've been better for Houston or Orlando. As for the resulting Cleveland design... well in its defense, if it had been printed as it should have been (instead of so horribly dark) then it would've been significantly better. At least you can actually read the text at the bottom, which can't be said for the real life litho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Timothy design sharing a rejected Philly design that I thought was pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Timothy design sharing a rejected Philly design that I thought was pretty cool. Not anything particularly noteworthy. I do know however that artists commonly submit multiple designs for a single city, so it's not usually a case of submitting one design and then hoping it is accepted or rejected. They might submit two or three designs and have one or two accepted or all of them rejected, for example. There is no particular protocol for the submission process. Some cities have multiple designs from multiple competing artists, some cities have had a particular artist in line to do the design early and then they've played around with concepts until they settled on one they liked.

estrangedtwat Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm still gutted by what we could have had for the Cleveland litho. Two of our landmarks that, admittedly aren't masterpieces, but are big, imposing, somewhat iconic, and have presence. Part of our history. Instantly recognizable to locals. And the smashed guitar just ties it in to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, where dozens, or even hundreds of one of a kind historical guitars reside. We could have celebrated this: Instead we are "mocked" for perhaps our lowest moment other than when LeBron left.....the Cuyahoga River Fire of 1969. I swear Clevelanders never get a goddamn break. Well. It could have been worse than all this combined. I sobbed and snotted uncontrollably with rage and heartbreak when this happened. I'm undoubtedly taking this shit to my grave. Why oh, why oh, why oh, did my parents have to bone in Ohio??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlIsGod. Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Does anyone have a Manila litho that can confirm its details?

Hi, I have a Manila one, it is indeed US size and therefore slightly bigger than the European ones. I have just compared it to the Nijemegen one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
