Rather Ripped cover art - Page 5

pao-lino · 04.09.2006, 08:05 AM

I like the "stencils-like" things.

RdTv · 04.09.2006, 09:06 AM

not an immediate fan of it if its really the official cover, but maybe it will grow on me...

no fucking way! i hate this cover for a hundred reasons. i just saw it and threw up a little in my mouth.

primarily, it's bogus when people fake stencils. it's total fucking lazy bullshit and someone got paid for it... a couple of fucking canned stencil fonts? on a sonic youth record? WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! stencils as a means of print-making are so central to REAL underground culture (politically and culturally) that if yr gonna do it... you'd better fucking **do it**

i'd have done it for real. a huge part of my work is stencil based and i often spend days cutting out a single stencil. i also almost always draw my own typefaces whenever they're used on t-shirts or album covers AND ESPECIALLY STENCILS.

canned artwork is the death of design.

i'm really disappointed that they did that.
awful cover and i'm sad that anyone would associate me with it.

hater of phoney baloney stencils,
chris habib

i hope the inside artwork makes up for the shitty cover...

...i can't believe they are really using it, it looks very fucking lazy

and habib's stencil work is pretty great. check the "post yr art or die" thread to see for yourselves

chabib · 04.21.2006, 03:48 PM

whenever i do a referential design, i redraw the whole fucking thing BY HAND and am certain to significantly change the whole context of the thing down to the last detail while adding elements of my own invention.

comme ca

the cover for ripped is a referential design that alludes to christopher wool's work. it should have been done properly...

chabib · 04.21.2006, 04:11 PM

does this look like the wall of someone who would condone such a travesty?
i have enough of these to fill all of the walls of my studio...

i seriously wish i could muster up a tear.

Danny Himself · 04.21.2006, 04:15 PM

I agree with both Chris and AssBlaster. It's pretty half-assed, and the whole industrial style fake stencil font looks like a lame neo-punk band logo. I'm disappointed that SY haven't stuck to the old way of using artists they like to do covers.

EDIT, since Chris and I posted at the same time. Your wall, and work is awesome, top notch, five star stuff.

nazi colors man!!

grot topic=nazi

krastian · 04.22.2006, 12:05 AM

There just isn't anything to it. I liked the compact one too....ha.

FRACTUREDSUNSHINE · 04.22.2006, 12:21 AM

come on see the silver album line ing. The pretty intricate patterns like pretty nice. And i guess the black and red are really smbols of "Anarcho-syndicalism"

It must be true.

FRACTUREDSUNSHINE · 04.22.2006, 01:29 AM

YOUR nazi comment is like saying the swazstikaa symbol is evol. Which really it is not. there is no such thing as bad cooinsaadince

Everyneurotic · 04.22.2006, 01:33 AM

well, i take back the nazi reference, even if i don't understand the "swastika" comment above this.

so are sonic youth on strike or something? or maybe just the graphic designer of rather ripped's cover was on strike?

FRACTUREDSUNSHINE · 04.22.2006, 01:45 AM

every thing happens for a reason. What is the reason "mystical message from the rapture cover"??? I don't know

stirling · 04.22.2006, 04:49 AM

The message is clear: Sonic Youth are satanic nazis.

kungfunation has a different image:
