meandthemagicponies: Titled ‘I am Very Ponies’. Based on William Schaffs’ original artwork for the Okkervil River album ‘I am Very Far’. I drew up the original idea for this after seeing Okkervil River at the Forum in, I think it was October? But holy goats, that was such an experience, more than a gig, have not felt that elevated in a while, doubt I really will ever again. For the backdrop they had the two massive dogs in either side, and then about halfway through their set the red middle part appeared. There was a little bit of a creepy KKK costume feel to a lot of the shapes that I couldn’t shake, but it was oddly alluring as I felt there was so much in there, it was beautiful. So of course I went and did a print of it. I’ve printed about 10 of these, only a handful are any good, all of them have blemishes. Design wise I’m over the moon how they turned out. Execution needs a lot of work. But it’s a start. Not sure I’ll print them again in a while, if I do I might try some other colours. There is one or two I want to try change with water colour, so I’ll see how that goes and put them up here too. But have I said I’m really proud of the design? I didn’t think changing the dogs/wolves/canine of choice would work, but it totally did. (There’s about three I’d be happy to post off to people if anyone is interested [I think their blemishes add goodness]. Freebies. Buzz me.) If anyone knows how to get in touch with this artist…I know William would love to get one of these if another run is done, or any are available. Could you please have them contact him at samsa1973@aol.com. Thanks.
