I designed a poster today for a house show I'm playing at in a couple weeks. I really wish there was a real venue in town to play at. But anyways, here it is:
Background looks pretty familiar eh? I got the idea from a song by one of the traveling artists, Adam Balbo. He has a song called "Let's Make a Porno" that's pretty ridiculous. I used to think that it would be weird to see yourself in a pornographic movie.
That was in high school. I really wanted to be in a porno back then. I told some people once, as a joke; they thought I was disgusting. It wouldn't be for anybody else to see, just me. I could never have gone through with it. I was addicted to porn at the time, and I hated myself for it. One of the best nights of my life is when I was first dating my wife and I told her I'd been stuck in it and she didn't hate me at all.
Now that I've had plenty of sex I realize how ridiculous porn is. Not that I don't think it's a serious problem, for the actors and the audience, I just think it's so far removed from sex as to be a ridiculous imitation. It's weird that way.
Anyway, the poster is also influenced by a moment in the long-awaited return of The Office when Jan is giving Jim and Pam a tour of Michael's home and there's a camera and a tripod set up in the bedroom. She quickly folds it and puts it away saying nervously, "Michael, I thought you said you tidied up in here!"
