May Day 10 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I collect gig posters from shows I have been to (as well as branched off into some others and other screen print art). These things look outstanding matted, framed, etc. The Seahawks crossed the rubicon. They picked Ames Bros (a Seattle poster/apparel artist who create a lot of gig posters). In a way, Im glad the Bills dont do this, at least my anxiety and wallet are happy.... but these are awesome. Some remind me of the cool NFL/AFL program art from the 60's. https://crosscut.com/2019/10/seahawks-draft-seattle-artists-new-series-game-day-posters I think this is doable with Buffalo's robust art community. 4 2 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) The Ravens one is hilarious. What's the meaning of the Rams one? Or isn't there one? The Bills would need wheelbarrows to move the money into the bank if they offered these to fans. Edited November 1, 2019 by dpberr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with these is... typically, they are limited edition. So the artist may print like 2,000 or so for the event, then sign and number another 100 of them and sell them from their web site (which are typically worth more). They also might create some variants with mixing up the colors or printing some on 'foil' paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the Pegulas doing something like this. As an aside, I was trying to see if I could purchase these. I was led to the Seahawks' 'One Buffalo" app alternative. It was the same interface. Under 'gameday experiences', you could order the prints (and pick them up in person). However, I did notice, their gameday experiences dwarfed what the Bills offer. The bills only have 1 available: go to the field post game. The Seahawks have a bunch of cool stuff.

Fan in San Diego Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Because of you! We cant have nice things like Gig art. lol! Those are pretty awesome. I would definitely buy a few, frame them and hang them up if we had some Buffalo Bills or Buffalo Art like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan and have multiple Ames Bros posters. As you said, it's a good thing the Bills don't do this, otherwise I'd be a lot poorer and have a bunch of posters I don't have room for in my home. As it is, I have a backlog of Pearl Jam posters that I don't have space for. Still, very cool. Not gonna lie: Despite being happy for monetary reasons, I am also jealous. These posters are dope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once did the whole ordeal before a Pearl Jam show: Waited in a really long line to get in, ran in with the other crazies, staked out my spot on line, got my poster tube already, and snagged one of the last few posters. Just then I noticed the guy in front of me get HIS poster. He -- and I'm not making this up -- folded it in half, tucked it under his arm, and off he went. ?

Just Jack Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Decades ago the Bills did do something similar. @Guffalo can explain it better since it was his father doing the drawings. 6 hours ago, May Day 10 said: As an aside, I was trying to see if I could purchase these.

Most artists aren’t huge sports fans, so they’re unlikely to crate sports art on their own. However, pay the artist and they will make it. If you want something like this, find an artist whose work you like, contact them, and I’m sure they will make it for you for an appropriate fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
