i thought this was going to be about multi colored ink drawings with some words so badly splattered across them you ignore the poster the gig and the Dundee rep completely for another week.

Only if Thee Alex is playing.

Alex's posters always looked absolutely amazing but you had to sit with mirror, a prism and a replica of the enigma machine to work out when the gig was, who was playing and the cost.

Want to post examples of these? To make it easier for you here're my Gigposters pages, I look forward to these unreadable posters for the Rep being illustrated by yourself

Im not really giving a monkeys whether thee alex approves or not, he is merely some fat, mouthy tosser from england who can draw. Why does he still post here 24/7? Is it because he has no mates? probably

Touched a couple of nerves? Or are you just bitching in an otherwise light hearted thread for the sake of it?

{EDIT} From Scotland, not England, born in Glasgow dontchaknow....

hahahaha, these are amazing

at the end of the day, some posters for bad gigs are bad, some posters for good gigs are bad, some posters for bad gigs are good, and some posters for good gigs are good.

is that the moral of the story?

No, the moral of the story is that some posters are clichéd.
