But there's no way that they would ever have a formal contract for that. Wouldn't fit their model.

allwaystired Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Ah for fuck's sake, this is depressing. With this and the filing legal challenges against bootleg t-shirt sellers it's just ramming it down our throats that money is such a driving force now. I wish it was otherwise as it all just seems to be greed on top of something that is highly profitable anyway. Just sad to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcs953 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I agree, these posters have taken on a life of their own, they are works of art and the creators should be fairly compensated, looks very bad for business and word of mouth gets around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still very proud of my work even though it's for a band that I now hate. It's sad, I grew up LOVING them. I always thought of them as THE antiestablishment band. Sadly they're just a money machine. Nothing more. Now is perfectly appropiate the ABSURD word you work is excellent. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a number of your posters from shows I attended and really value your work now and for many years to come. That’s disappointing to hear what happened and is another strike against Gn’R and further erosion of my support for the band I haven’t had much of an opinion on how GnR is managed or it’s management team, but they really are negligent. No enterprise with this much economic might should be managed by someone so inexperienced, callous, and unprofessional. Hopefully they make it right. If not, hope you and other artists box out Gn’R from your services 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have had the inside of Allegiant Field in the background. I got tix for the vegas show, so very excited! I'm assuming that they went with a different design?

He told me no more lithos sold outside the venue. And that there were 3 merch stands inside, but only one had the lithos and litho shirt. With a 1 litho per person policy now in effect. Management must know somethings up with the lithos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backinblack Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 You know what is even cooler? The Strokes poster from one year before that Cleveland show that artist clearly ripped off https://www.rockcandyposters.com/the-strokes-2016-governors-ball-randall-island-new-york-poster/ 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
