I'd be curious to hear your take on the screen printed movie poster trend (Mondo and stuff), since you seem like you have skills related to that world but aren't so close to it that you'd lose objectivity.
Thanks for your reply! I think that there is some pretty cool poster artwork out there. I am a pretty big pop-culture nerd as well, so it is always great to see a talented designers take on a movie poster. I think you can tell when the artist has a connection with the subject matter and really puts the time and work into their design that does the original content justice.
As for a media choice. I am all about artist getting their work out their, and I think screen printed posters and t-shirts are cost effective ways to do so. I am all about it. I was told by my college professor that T-Shirts were not art and that I should give up on t-shirts. Obviously, there are "art snobs" that prefer that art only remains in the walls of a gallery, but I have always disagreed. I think true effective art is anything that communicates an emotion/idea from the artist to his audience. Who cares about the delivery method.
