Must admit I really love some of the tour posters, especially the windsurfing, surfing and shark posters. Oz really brings out the best in Stones artwork.
But, I am getting a bit tired of the tongue. Once it was Warhol hip , now it is ubiquitous and overused in the art. I'd like to see an artist dare NOT to use the icon and still capture something that is Rolling Stones.
Maybe it is a requirement, specified by Mick or his people, but it's starting to get a bit predictable, like the setlists. Anyhow, I'm not holding my breath. peace

I partly agree. It gets a bit predictable especially in regards to animals or other creatures with the lips and the tongue sticking out as a motif. Some of them are nevertheless great (the black swan, for example, the Geisha or the shark). But I think the ones, where the tongue and lips are interwoven in another way, are more interesting. The most uninteresting ones are in general those, that simply show a full page tongue with different patterns or colours.

Can't believe they misspelled "Centre" on the Brisbane posters. Yank spelling don't cut it around here

Mispelling and mistakes on stones'stuff is a long time trade mark.

Either way it's a very ambitious undertaking. Have they ever done posters for individual cities on a tour? Aukland #1 is a real beauty IMO.

First of all , I'm sad to hear that you have no news and you are still waiting for your order.Then, about Bravado that's not new, these guys are the shame of the Collector's business.I don't order anything from them since a while for several reasons, time between payment and shipping, missing informations, and most of all the very very bad packaging.
Just got one advice for you, say it LOUDER !!!!! maybe one of their boss will read this thread and will start to move his ass for the safety of the trademark.
Good luck !
