About this poster

PRIMUS SUCKS! Very excited to share a new poster for @primusville and even more excited to see them live for the first time in almost 30 years (H.O.R.D.E. Fest 97, that's wild)! I could ramble on forever about this one, so I'll try and keep it short. Primus was one of "my" bands starting in middle school when I heard Too Many Puppies for the first time and went out and bought Frizzle Fry and Sailing the Seas of Cheese. I knew I wanted to have something pez related for this one and also wanted to play around with a reference that I hadn't really seen used yet. The first thing I thought of was the Humpty Dumpty verse from Pudding Time, but I didn't know how to mash those two thoughts together. Then I saw an old Pez ad where a character was riding a witch faced pez dispenser as a broom, & it made me think about that scene in Dr. Strangelove where Kong is riding the atomic bomb. Since he had a cowboy hat, what if I made Humpty a cowboy? If he's a cowboy, why not the cowboy outfit from the Winnona's Big Brown Beaver video? And so on, deep into the Primus K Hole..until I ended up with this poster. Pretty happy that I was able to sneak in a visual reference for every album from Frizzle Fry to the Brown Album, along with a little Wonka (and even Shark Girl is in there for Buffalo natives). I also finally found a poster where I could use one of my favorite typefaces, an R. Crumb creation for the title of his book "The Sweeter Side of R. Crumb." Just a super fun western style typeface, that needed a very specific home, and having it end up with either Primus (or maybe Ween) is the only thing that made sense to me. It's not exactly the same, but hopefully I did it justice. I'll have regular and foil edition copies available next week (the only foil copies made for this release), so keep an eye out here or sign up for my mailing list (link in bio) to stay up to date on when they'll be coming out. Thanks to team Primus for inviting me on another outing, thanks to @_the_headlight_ for getting the prints cranked out in a pinch, and @truegrittexturesupply for the coloring tools. And thank you for reading all of this nonsense.
