I dont want to be negative, but hasnt the whole monkey thing been done already, didnt i see someone else doing that? 
Also, the monkey needs to be hanging off something, that arm is to distracting hanging onto thin air.
Other than that, i like the brushwork in the heart.

Well, I guess everything has been done before at one time or the other.
I tried giving the chimp something to hold on too, but found it only distracting.

Tof dat er een andere nederlander op dit forum zit nu. Waar zit je? Ik zit in de buurt van rotterdam, rozenburg.

Your right. It was the first night hitting the streets in 10 years combined with winds so strong that I was happy to get anything up at all without being blown away. So placement took a bit of a backseat this trip.
I have a large paster (those in the pics are big stickers) waiting for a nice wall with ledge to hang the monkey on. Stay tuned...

New member, new artist, new work, by Daan on Mar 9, 2008 19:33:15 GMT 1, I use a totally bombproof method. I start with a cardboard packaging type flat box designed for sending calendars, 50x70 cm inside, prints just fit. That is taped to a piece of 1.4 mm MDF about 5 centimeters larger all around. Then I add another layer of cardboard over the first cardboard pack. And finally the whole things is wrapped in craftpaper and all edges taped up for extra strength. The end result weight 3 kilo's and is virtually indestructible.
But, I only do this for a run of prints that I made on 400 grms paper that is just too thick too roll without creasing. 300 grms paper is a lot easier to double tube, safes a lot in shipping cost...

You are not joking when you say your packaging is bomb proof. It took the best part of half an hour opening that thing. It was so thick I thought I might have forgotten about a canvas that I'd ordered!!
Keep up the good work.

New member, new artist, new work, by Daan on Mar 25, 2008 17:51:06 GMT 1, Thanks guys!
I have been busy setting up my new screen printing studio. I used to use EZ-photo screens, works kind of ok to get started but I soon wanted a proper screen printing set-up. So I got some nice screens, a lighting unit, wash out booth etc.
This is the last print I did with my old setup: 'Our Vader'. Edition of only two.
The blue background is a Glicée print, the black is screenprinted and the pink cross is airbrushed. I will be releasing a larger run of this image at a later date. The second edition will be screen print and airbrush only, with a different background color. So these two could be called studies.

Love the idea dude!!
But just a suggestion... it looks like the raster-to-vector process lost a lot of detail (i.e., the words on the lighter fluid can have become meaningless shapes)... I don't mean to be a smart ass, but I'm just suggesting that it'd look a lot better with more detail and clarity?
But seriously... LOVING the concept!!!! ;D

New member, new artist, new work, by raniator on Mar 27, 2008 11:32:28 GMT 1, Dope concept. One thing though - Live Trace in Illustrator will mash up your lettering, and the tracking on the 'just add flag' text is nasty, especially the word 'flag'.
Really like your stuff dude.

The only thing i dont like in this print is the angle the light-cross is on....doesn look right.
Other than that, well done!

Both are intentional. I first treshold the source image till I like it and so that what needs to be legible just is. Then I lower the resolution and after that it goes through illustrator.
The 'just add flag' typo is indeed 'nasty' if you see it in real life you will notice that some letters are also rotated o so slightly. I like a bit of 'nasty' typography, after doing page layout and beautiful typography for mainstream magazines all day.
cheers, Daan

Its true that its hard to think of an idea that has not been done before but there are ways of improving what has been done before. I think its less about juxtaposition and more about execution and effects.
Good Luck
