Do you prefer it to your gigposter work? Tyler Stout: I enjoy mixing it up, its fun to do different types of jobs for different clients, fun to approach things differently. I think I would get burned out if I just did movie prints. Tyler Stout: I guess I just research what the movie looks like and base my stuff on that. I associate movie posters with imagery of the actors faces, so I guess I go more towards that, representing them well. It sure seems like it! There seems to be a bit more of a demand as of late, which is good, work pays the bills.
What artists are you into that combine your own interests in a similarly intriguing way? Tyler Stout: Too many to list. Too many to list. Joe Mad is coming out with some new stuff that looks amazing.
Spiderman I believe? I rarely dig my own stuff that much. Ha ha! This does not sound like childhood landscape of an artist who is known for his illustrations of South Korean movie monsters and blood-soaked posters for Quentin Tarantino films, but to hear Stout tell it, there was menace even in the idyllic surroundings of his youth, as a response to a boilerplate question about his earliest childhood memory suggests.
I was four, I think. Later he graduated to comics, but not the usual Marvel fare. Two years at Clark Community College go Penguins! My least favorite class was math. I am the worst at math. He was working on that Tenacious D poster in Vermont and asked me to do some stuff, which I did. I believe they gave us a bunch of photos and the final result came from drawings of those.
Originally, the portraits were going to be on different layers, in different colors, with each portrait combined with a letter or letters spelling out Phish.
Many factors prevented that from happening, but they liked the portraits. The roots of that style can be seen in posters like the one he did for a show at Graceland for Les Savy Fav.
For some, Stout is only a movie-poster artist, but he never gave up on the gig stuff. From through , he continued to produce posters for shows at mostly smaller venues in Portland, as well as art prints, including the glow-in-the-dark gem for Copious Creative. One was a riff on a Beastie Boys album cover May 14, , Portland , another suggested the look of his movie posters May 30, June 1, , Los Angeles , and one even predicted the bucolic look he would give to his first Phish poster April 19, , Kent State.
It just worked out that way. You seem like a pretty straightforward guy, how do you keep that equation simple and not let the pressure affect you, no matter how real or imagined it may be? Having people interested in your work, you kinda do feel like you have to meet their expectations.
In my opinion, of course. How did you come the conclusion that this was the best method for you? But if its something I think a lot of people are interested in, then I try to do the lottery to at least give a few more people a chance. First come first serve really only hits up those people that are online right then, which totally works. But lots of people keep different hours, especially worldwide, so lotteries kinda spread out that sales a bit more, giving more people a random chance.
The one thing about the lottery system I noticed is that it does get you engaged with your fanbase. Was this always your aim, or is social networking something you just have no interest in? Man, I feel old. Back in my day, a website was actually social networking, I was on the cutting edge. Then Friendster came along and ruined everything, ha ha. I feel like you can get the info you need from my blog, or my website, or from just emailing me.
