Not the most popular thread...
« on: December 17, 2009, 04:42:53 PM »
...I'm sure, but over time, I'll be posting posters with my name on it.

That's right.  Enough with the freakin' movie posters.  Let's talk art, shall we?

"I actually quite like the name Peanut."  Andy Neal on MOPO, April 22, 2010

Thierry:  Type the word APF on MPF and it spells: "Banned due to malicious unsolicited private message ".

Charlie to the guy who lost to EatBrie:  You just got "T-boned"!  Happens to the best of us...  Wait until you get "Holidazed"!

Thierry to Silhouette:  Please tell her it's a tiny part of my collection so she doesn't think I'm a total creep.  Oh wait, no, I am a total creep.

I am not trying to be purposely flippant but what exactly classifies as a 'fine art poster'?

Limited edition print runs depicting beautiful landscapes and animals?

Reproduction posters of famous paintings?

Jonas Brothers posters?

I think of it as .. Pictures for the sake of pictures.. If its an Ad for something its advertising .. If it serves no purpose other than to look pretty its art .. Even if its horrid to look at :P Fan art can borderline on this too .. Just depends if it was only fan art or like with Alamo it was used in promoting as well .. Just my $.02 ;D

Make it your own, guys.

I was originally thinking of gallery posters, museum repros and such...  But if you want to expend, be my guest.

AFFO$ Italy
Satanic rites of Dracula Italy

I find both these art work generic since they dont feature the main roles.....also SROD is depressing to look at , the dark colors etc (ie Eastwood/Lee)
