As Mcs953 said, a beignet tastes kinda like an elephant ear with powdered sugar. It’s delicious and terrible for you, but it’s a French thing. They still cut coffee with chicory in Cuba as well. I was just watching a Jim Gaffigan special the other day where he mentioned beignets and elephant ears: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liqddynamite Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks for the clarification guys, good to have a better understanding of it, and if the NOLA fans like it, well thats kind of the point so kudos there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytop Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I can't say I like it. I get the reference, and I hope people from the area like it, but it's about as plain as it gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlconcerts Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 That poster is Little Rock Arkansas level terrible. I mean that may even be worse than the Winston-Salem tea kettle. Hopefully Vegas is a Buehler 4 piece set or something crazy. I would love a deviation from the normal 18x24 print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaninjapan Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I've rolled back my dislike for the litho. Now that I know that it's a local reference... now I just look at it as a reasonably good idea that was just poorly executed. As I've said before, I like when there's a good local reference, but it still has to be executed well to be a great design. It's a real shame because I actually am a big fan of that brown-and-orange color scheme. I'm a bit of a sucker for it since I like the luxury brand Hermes and that's kinda like their traditional color combo. I think if you played around with the design, it'd be possible to make it look good. I mean, just look back on the Seattle litho of 2016. It's a VERY simple design but it's executed well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telly Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I've been to cafe du monde many times & know what it means to miss new orleans so i appreciate the local flavor of the litho but its just not very exciting to look at, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaninjapan Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Okay, so I couldn't help but play around in Photoshop a little. Maybe it's just me, but I think these subtle changes would have made for a better litho design.

BUYER BEWARE. People do this all the time. It's not as big a red flag as you think. What happens (especially on the night of the concert) is that someone buys a few of them with the intention of flipping them on Ebay. They're at the concert venue and unable to take a good photo. They want to strike while the iron is hot and sell their spare litho while people are still caught up in the moment and thinking about the design. They grab the best photo they can find online and list their litho as soon as they can. If someone is still using that same photo like, a week or month or year from now - then yeah, that would be a bit sketchy. But literally listed before GNR get on stage? Seen it happen a hundred times before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them vibrant and festive. Nicely done. Gods I hope SLC doesn't suck......would love to see someone hanging from the arch with a GnR was here note. Instead it will be someone floating in a dark salt lake (which no one does hahaha). I designed/illustrated the SLC poster. I can say that it features none of those themes.

Cleveland just can’t catch a break. Thanks amaninjapan. I designed the Cleveland/Tulsa poster. No Cleveland ones were printed. I have the original art file for it but obviously couldn’t sell It as a GNR print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one he threw off the cliff. That guitar was retrieved and donated to a Hard Rock Hotel, and I believe is displayed somewhat like the litho. There is a Hard Rock Hotel near Tulsa. It wasn’t based on the Don’t Cry guitar. I just wanted to draw a gnarly smashed up Les Paul haha.
