The best part about this – if I were to have tried to get it – would be that it would commemorate an event which I did not attend!

This would have been his best print for sure if he was able to print it a bit larger. the largest letterpress print I have ever seen is Daniel Dangers “I am a rabbit out of room”.

I’m excited to see this one in person. When someone gets theirs, would u please post some links to some pics? thanks.

I was so excited to see this poster be released, and so disappointed to see how quickly it sold out.

i think it’s well within the world of proper manners to ask someone to first alleviate their ignorance before making an uneducated remark

Thanks for the info hankP. How about a little less of the elitist A-hole attitude next time.

I feel very lucky to have been able to grab one before they were gone (which seemed like seconds)…love the movie, love the artist – perfect match!

“Will it kill you to make the print a little bigger? Geez.”

There are size restrictions to 90% of the letterpress presses in the states, a 16″ tall print is on the large end. You need to do some learning on this subject matter before shooting your mouth off.

palehighway’s comment on moscoso is spot on … the fact you cannot easily read it makes it effective.

Only difference, I doubt any of these will be on the telephone poles of Austin, TX (ha!)

Some good points being made about legibility and how some of his characters (usually whichever letters are capitals or touch the outside illustrations) are discernible and others are not. It’s a bit frustrating because you can’t read what this is advertising. A lot of the purchasers will be people who have been fans of Horkey for some time now, so they may already know what this poster is for.

If I didn’t know beforehand that the poster was for a movie called Dead Man, there’s no way i would’ve figured it out.

Does that center graphic spell out: Dinn Moi??
Is this some artsy French movie?

This is ridiculous, although I’m not really feeling the ornaments on the outskirts of the poster. I love Horkey’s work but I’m not sure why he likes to make parts of the type readable and parts completely obscure. I could understand it not being readable at all, but when some letters are perfectly readable, and others are crazy ornate, it seems weird. I dunno, I’m not complaining this piece is rad. If I had the money, I’d buy one!
