Brian Ewing was commissioned to design a poster for the current Queens of the Stone Age - Villains tour. He took a chance on this one and went in a different direction (for him at least) and cultivated his love of John Romita Sr and the romance comic book covers of the 60's and 70's. So bad it's good - as the kids say.
Brian talks concept:
"Once the band and management approved of the sketch and direction I called upon local printer Upright Press to see if they wanted to try an experiment with me. I wanted to go the opposite direction of the anatomical style I like to do and see if I designed a poster to look like an old comic book cover if he (Jess) could help make it look like the way comic books used to be printed - 4 color process. Basically breaking the artwork down to CMYK and printing them as dots. We tried to mimic that style of printing and hoped there would be some mis-registration to help further it looking like a vintage comic book. I can say "vintage" now - I'm old. I'm only a few years away from getting that senior discount! Catch me at Denny's for the early bird specials.QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE - regular
