    Just saw that

    I'm not going to be a hypocrite and scold you for making a copy. The way you went about it while the artist was on here rubbed me the wrong way. He isnt some huge band like gnr. Its tough making a living as an artist and you instantly went and printed it and then posted it while he was here. Of course he wasnt going to say "good job!" when you were sort of bragging about getting your copy. 

    You could have just said sorry and that you didnt know it would bug him (although come on...) But then you came off as a prick to him

    I don't know you IRL, I just think you were rude a didnt know when to quit. Anyways, it is what it is and maybe I was harsh

    You did nothing wrong.  Props for calling it out

    Arian Buhler may not be well known, I don’t know, because I never cared about lithos before GNR. But, Arian has definitely made a name for hhimself off This tour. Compared to what I’ve seen from other bands, GNR posters are fucking awesome. Most bands have garbage shit. The only other band that has quality lithos to me is Phish.

    No disagreement about Buhler.  He has done some great...correction brilliant...designs!

  3. These litho designs are often complete misses, sometimes great and rarely brilliant (Japan  and Europe legs) IMHO.  Which is good from a personal budget perspective to keep me from being tempted to buy.  Just interesting that when I compare to other acts with gig specific posters.  They don't go with the big name gig poster artists...  Emek, Slater, Sperry, etc.  Wonder if that's a conscious decision...assume so.  Any thoughts on that?

    Wait, are you actually being serious about this? I thought you were just joking around.

    Firstly, Slash's likeness is in plenty of other lithos. Many of them by Arian Buhler, the same artist who did the NYC 3 litho - He's in Coachella 2, Osaka, Perth Bunyip, London 1, Vienna. And secondly, you wouldn't think the addition of the exact top hat design that Slash wears on an officially approved piece of GNR merchandise wouldn't constitute 'using his likeness'? Come on, guys. Don't read too much into it. Arian Buhler probably just preferred to make it look more like Bill the Butcher and that's all there is to it.

    Note Bill the Butcher was the only one of the three pulled from the movie for these images that was an actual person with drawings of him in existence.  Maybe Mr Buhler....Buhler was reflecting that.  The Slash trademark stuff should go into a conspiracy theory thread.

    for those interested, the Gorge Amphitheatre litho was based on this vintage-style Don Juan opera poster:

    "Amphitheatre" for a lot of the non-US world definitely has an 'operatic' vibe to it so the opera theme seems like a cool, fresh take on it all. And for anybody who has seen a show at The Gorge, it definitely has that epic vibe to it!

    Impressive find.  Kudos
