Tyler Stout

[eatbrie]

I think the guy deserves his own thread.  He's my personal favorite, so that's what you get.

Anyhow, his "Let the Right One In" poster goes on sale tomorrow, thru lottery.  Both regular and variant.  He has about 250 posters for sale.

I think TS is very talented and he has done some great posters .. BUUUUTTTTT ,, there are time I think he should self edit .. and pull away from the now expected cramming of every major and big supporting characters likeness onto a single piece of paper .. I mean if he likes them all that much do a series and showcase the characters properly ! .. Just my $.02

[brude]

No doubt he is very talented.... but I have to agree with fallen...his art is just a bit too busy for me...
Sometimes less is more, y'know?

I do really like this LET THE RIGHT ONE IN piece. It seems to really capture the mood of the film.

T, do you have other examples of his work to post other than Alamo prints?

[ddilts399]

It really is a catch22, once you are known for something, if you try to stray from that then you do not please your core audience. I say stick with it he obviously has a huge following.

I will say, to me, his art looks like the old fuzzy posters you would buy with the 4 markers to color; but what the hell, I thought those were cool

Here is a pretty good list of his movie work. I don't own everything though so there are a few missing plus this new one.

My Tyler Stout Collection

[guest8]

I have this non-film related piece ..

[joneyyy]

is it me or does every poster look exactly the same...
i find that its getting boring, for some reason whenever i look at a poster it has the title 70-75% down the page and heads plasterd all over it like mount rushmore.. every time.

[brude]

Thanks Thierry, Chad for the galleries. I can certainly see the attraction. He is extremely talented.

My favorite I think might be the non-film piece that fallen has posted above.  Very dramatic. What are the dimensions on that one?

[guest8]

Its only 5" x 5" but priced accordingly ... there is a gold version as well .. i think the gold had a smaller run and was slighty more expensive (typical for a variant) but i liked the red better.

[guest8]

If you do a search for stout on postersandtoys.com it shows about 80 different stout pieces non.film film and gig posters. Obvioulsy most are sold out but it looks like some are in stock.

[supraman079]

Yeah the Red one is better. I have this piece too, but I don't list it on my website as it's not movie related. Very cool art though that is for sure.

My attraction to Tyler's work is this. A lot of these movies I really really really enjoy. And if you are a big fan of them when you look through the collage you see things from the movie that are usually small in detail and hidden in the artwork. To me it's like anyone who really knows the film well will get these things. Plus his artwork is really good.

I agree the less is more, but that is what I can buy from someone else, which is what makes this hobby cool. Olly Moss is no Tyler Stout, but both make some kick ass shit. You have to appreciate them for what they are. Picasso and Van Gogh are different people with different styles, but when I go to the art museum and see their stuff on the wall, I can appreciate their style and hard work.

[brude]

Fallen, thanks for the link.  I've never been there before and it is an eye opener. "Migration" is a kick-ass piece.

Chad, well put.  Over the years, I have taught many youngsters who want to draw that there are many different styles, most with great merit despite their different approaches.

Now, methinks I will have to pick up "Migration" ...

[eatbrie]

At the end of the day, it's all in the eye of the beholder.  But if I had to frame one print of all the ones I own, it would be, with no hesitation...



Great movie and great design.

I try my best no to post anything on these threads because it would be too negative all the time,different strokes for different folks i guess.

I'm curious. How much money do you think Stout's pulling in a year from these posters? Anybody want to hazard a guess? 50k 100k a year more? What kind of percentage would he make on a poster?

[treegate]

It is very kind for Chad and T to give me one of their Stout "Thing" posters, that is VERY kind of both you. Please? Please? Please?

[eatbrie]

Ah!  Sorry, Jon, I could part with a lot of things, but not any of my Stouts, and certainly not The Thing.  This said, they do pop up on Ebay from time to time, and I know you have deep pockets, Jon.  The last 4 regular sold for $700+.

Was anyone lucky enough to get picked up on the lottery?

[ddilts399]

I got one. I bought the standard version, I think the red made the print pop more and the glow areas of the variant didnt excite me all that much. The quad version is too big to store in the portfolio's.

[jpicken]

I got picked too.  I ended up getting the quad although the price was a little steep.

I agree with Dale about liking how the red makes the poster stand out a little more.

I don't know, but  probably not all that much.  He was selling the regular version for $45.  After printing costs, how much does he make on something like that? I have always found it weird how the secondary market works for stuff like this, but if Il Grande Lebowski sells for $700 on eBay, it's not like Tyler is getting a cut of that.  I am sure he and other artists do fine, but I don't think you get rich making posters unless you sell them for more than $45 or stash some away and cut them loose after the fact if you need a few bucks.

I was kind of thinking about it today. I think Tyler Stout is like a Kobe Bryant of posters. The things that make people hate his work are the same things that make others love his work.

[Freefall]

Grats to both you. I was hoping I get picked but no luck. Maybe I'll scan ebay to see the flippers do their thing.

So, do you love Kobe now?

Man, I can't wait for basketball season to begin.

And there's already one on ebay for 200.00. Geez!
