[Sweet Nothing]

From a suitcase to boxes of merchandising, "Merchandising, Merchandising, Merchandising" (sorry had to add that small quote from Space Balls the movie) thats just the smell of success on the that poster you have from their first tour.  Nice find at a garage sale, and free at that.  Glad you found it cause the people having the sale were most likely going to throw it out if it wasn't taken(assuming that because it was free).

Actually it was a friend of my Dad's garage it wasn't a sale of any kind I just seen it and asked about it.  A little convincing was all it took.  but yeah it definately would have been tossed eventually.  House to garage to garbage.  I found it in the nick of time.

For those who went to the Vermont show in August, there are 7 copies on eBay of a promo poster using artwork from the Reno poster from the Columbus, OH show.  Note the staple holes.  The starting bid on all 7 is 99 cents, plus $5.99 shipping.  I've bid on one, so if others want to snag one of the remaining 6, feel free.  Let's try to not outbid each other.  I think getting seven forum members to bag this for $6.98 is reasonable.  Possibly overpriced, but...

Moving apartment and need to do some clean out.  Have 2004 Guy Burwell Crystal Ballroom Poster available.  Anyone's free to make an offer.  Would rather sell to someone on here than ebay, etc.  Send PM if interested

[johnnYYac]

Well, they finally arrived, so it wasn't a dream after all.  Crazy, though, that the guy sent both Burwells, worth maybe $500, in a tube with paper taped over the ends instead of plastic caps!  Yikes!  Kinda goes with selling these babies for $170.

(I figured I'd forgo the frames and just put 'em on my fridge using my kids' magnetic alphabet)  ;)

[mahg33ta]

well done.   They are two of my favorites.   sure are beauties.   To get them both on back to back days is ridiculous.   And to get them for the price you did is criminal.    I am very happy for you.

Hey Johnny! Those look sweet! Would $150 be a good price for that '04 Burwell? And do you know anything about the d. king gallery website?

[walterfredo]

Dennis King (D. King Gallery) is an old school poster guy, been on the scene for decades.  His prices tend to be a bit inflated, but most galleries are.  I would recommend keeping an eye on Ebay and expressobeans.  In fact, looks like there are some for sale by expressobeans members for far less than $150

http://www.expressobeans.com/members/detail.php/14314/trades

probably have to create an account to access that part of the site though.

also, just noticed you can still buy it directly from Diesel Fuel prints (original printer of the poster) for $75.

Theres a NYE MSG poster on Expresso Beans for 70$ shipped. Too bad I'm just now seeing it because my gal would absolutely lose it if I got that poster for her. Her first Jacket show and maybe the best one she will ever see.

The '04 Burwell's six-month average selling price is $123.27, according to Expresso Beans.  And finding mint, signed and numbered copies for $75 makes this a no brainer.

For questions about posters, I'm not your guy.  I'm new to the game and just got lucky recently.  I'd recommend you post questions here and listen closely to mahg33tah and walterfredo.

walterfredo - do you own the poster thats your avatar or whatever? I have never seen that poster til I was cruising expresso beans today. apparently its a pretty big deal?

[walterfredo]

I do.  In 3 different colors.  :D

(the artist is actually a friend of mine)

[e_wind]

nice! its a great looking poster. whos the artist?

[walterfredo]

Marq Spusta.  He also did the MMJ Fillmore NYE poster in 06.

That NYE poster is sick. MMJ + Wax Fang on NYE is pretty awesome. He's got some good artwork goin on. The most recent Black Keys poster is pretty cool, among others.

Hello poster experts:

Does anyone know if there is a poster floating around from the 11.30.06 show at roseland in NYC ?  It was our first show and I would love to get one if there is one to be had.

Thanks.

I've been sick and just sitting around all day today. I've spent the last hour looking at Burwell art. I can't really find it on his site, but does he do non-band art and sell it? I would love to get my hands on just some good looking art for my new place. Any suggstions for other artists would be cool to, but Burwell's is BEAUTIFUL. He did a print for lost that I'm going to get off ebay soon enough. It's awesome.


tdb - there isn't a poster shown on the set list archive. do you know a link or anything to what it looks like? it sure would make finding one easier.

There is no such poster listed on expressobeans, so it's unlikely there was one.

Guy does do some art prints (non band stuff) but not too much, and most are originals and not prints.  Contact him and ask him, he's usually pretty good at responding.  

The number of amazing artists out there is almost infinite!  Most of the artists I have stuff from in my collection stems from my addiction to poster/rock art, but a lot of them make art prints as well.  some of my favorite artists that I have in my collection...
