Is it really the best Hip poster ever? Well you decide, but I got your attention right?

[Image: The-Hip-Album-Poster_web.jpg]

Greetings Hip fans,

In 2012 I created a Tragically Hip poster, put it online, and was soon bombarded by online messages from people wanting a copy. Because the images on the poster were not my own, I didn't end up sending anyone a poster. I emailed the Tragically Hip to ask them if they would consider using the poster, or a variation of it on their website. I sparked the interest of their webmaster but nothing came of it.

On November 16, 2013 I met the Hip's guitarist, Paul Langlois at one of his solo shows in Halifax and I personally handed him a poster along with a letter requesting that something be done with it. Paul thought it was pretty cool and showed it to Rob Baker, however, I didn't hear back. I guess it was a shot in the dark but was worth a try.

Now, after the release of the Hip's most recent album, I redesigned the poster and I want to make it available now regardless of my previous efforts. The poster is now 18 x 24. I put all the text on the right to basically fill up space.

If you would like me to mail you a poster please PM me.

Thanks!!

Cool Poster.

I think my favourite though is, a couple years back someone on here made a montage of a bunch of song titles all intermingled, I guess kind of like a scrabble board would be the best description of it. I think it was all in pencil, but really well done.

It was a very cool piece of artwork, I kind of wished I had gotten a copy of it to frame.

EDIT: PM'd you by the way, would be interested in a copy.

Yup right up there with the 6 foot sum bitch Canadian tour poster for DFN and those Hatch show tour posters, this will be framed.
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

My prized possession is a big sum bitch tour poster from the '95 ARA tour. Not sure if it's 6 feet, but it's close. I'm jealous of your DFN one.

Hmm, is it bigger than an average poster? Can you post a pic? Ya boy, that 95 DFN tour poster is killer, I had it laminated, not sure if that was a smart move, I thought it might save it from ripping or some other ungodly act of stupidity of my part.

Not only would I like a poster, I'd like your PayPal information, so I can send you some money for this.

Well Done.
