Hey, everyone.
I've been working on this little project on and off since January 12th.
I am no artist, no formal art classes, besides the typical art classes in high school. Just occaisionally, I get an itch to try to be artistic. So here it is, three T's and all. Took a while, I know its not exact, but there's just so many damn branches!

The size of the canvas is 18x 24, so I guess it would be the same size of the actual poster. I used a vanilla color for the border, I thought it made it look more like methane's poster paper.

Why I Do Not Own This Poster:

I went to this concert fully expecting a very awesome show and, of course, an awesome poster. The challenge became getting one. A week prior to the show, I had plantar warts removed from my right foot, so I was in crutches and wrapped up. On the five hour drive down from Philly I gave my girlfriend the game plan because she would have to do all the running for me to get the poster. When it came close to showtime on that Saturday, we waited with a few people on the side entrance near the Warehouse/GA line. When they opened up all the doors for all the WH/GA people we all counted how many people ran upstairs (for a poster of course) so we knew what we were heading into (EVERYONE in that line wanted aposter first). When they finally let us in I wobbled like a bum on my crutches looking for a merch. stand downstairs while my girlfriend sprinted up the stairs to the other merch. line. I hobbled down my hallway for what seemed like awhile, but saw no stand selling anything. Then decided to turn around to go upstairs. When I got up there, my gf was smushed in the MAD MOB of people reaching with cash in their hands, I pushed my way in, and saw the LAST ONE go before me! I was next! AHHHH! :bang
It turns out, there WAS a table downstairs,it was around in the curve so it was imposible to see it ahead. and that table was hit the least hard, I would have totally had been able to get one. Me and my girlfriend couldn't help but laugh. So we went on to our seats and enjoyed the rest of the show. What can ya do.

My resentment towards my bad luck prevents me from purchasing one for $300 when I totally could have had it for $40. LOL So, I just decided to paint one instead.


Well thanks for checking this out,

That is bad ass. I'd say that's way better than owning the poster. It's like an OG, but better since Methane doesn't actually paint their prints first.

I wasn't able to offer one at face, as I only bought one. But I did offer my framed one for the cost of the print and framing (custom, double mat, and uv protected glass) for his print, and we each pay shipping. I think that is fair and if Randy wants to trade that is up to him! I wish I could of helped out better, but when I got back in line to buy a second they shut it down, even though they had more posters because the "other" booths ran out and that had to distribute evenly.

Actually, I was planning on doing the Vegas 05 Skull, especially since I got it Tatted on me as youve seen in the other post. The thing that would kill is the pattern throughout the background.

Also thanks everyone for your compliments!!!

Im considering adding very subtle and random firdancers in the border, maybe I shade lighter or darker than the border color. But whenever I go back to add something in any project I pick up, it always ends up bad.

Leave it the way it is, and trade! Or don't trade, but no extra firedancers!

Sorry, this is none of my business, but was the trade that you offered to let him buy your print for the cost of the print (assuming face) plus the framing and his OG?

got any posters in mind? I would enjoy painting another, but I cant think of any worth the time that are not going to kill me. AKA any of the flower prints.
