Imposter! Or Why Is That Rooster Wearing A Helmet?

Not too long ago, a coworker announced that the gallery his wife worked for was having a gallery show called "ImPosters", and they were looking for fake band posters. Now, you have to understand... I have been training for this for the past 10 or so years... in fact, I have a list of the worst (yet greatest) band names that some friends and I have worked on over the years. Here are some of the relatively unoffensive and socially acceptable ones to give you an idea:

Friends Forever, The Nuggets, Steam Room, Windowless Van, The Limp, Donkey Punch, Lump Sum, Bologna Crutch, Hot Lunch, The Mirrored Aviators, Mouthfart... and the list goes on (for pages and pages... literally).

The list also gets more disgusting as it goes. Anyway, the point is that I had been training for this poster show, so I got it together and did some of my finest work to date. The result is the Stunt Cock poster. The funny thing is that I'm just absolutely proud of this design... from the clean look to the ridiculous text to the layers of symbolism. Well, maybe "layers" sounds too deep... it's no onion or anything, but there are a couple different ways to look at it at least. I also made it into a t-shirt, although it's the only one in existence. That doesn't make it less awesome though. Maybe I should start selling them.
