This poster proves two things: Emek is indeed "the thinking man's poster artist"; and Emek is Superman. Brilliant.

I hate having a blue collared job were I am out side for 12 hours a day nowhere near a god damn computer!!! If anyone doesn't want this one (yeah right

), could you please score me one and I will pay plus something extra

I'm kind of surprised how popular this looks like it is going to be. All Emek did was take an old art print and add new text. I call that working smart, not hard!

10 years from now, people are going to remember it as a good PJ poster, not a PJ poster created from an art print. And I don't think it's really that unusual for artists to use art they created previously for gig prints. If you like the art print, I don't know why you wouldn't like this PJ print.

Just wanted to add one more here...unless someone else added it and I missed it. Kozyndan did this.

I'm assuming he's a Japanese artist of some sort. Looks like Mt. Fuji in the background (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, and I usually am...)

I figured that those photos were atleast Emeks own work and he was just reusing it....... So when Emek uses someone elses work, people bow down to it and say Emek is "the thinking man's poster artist" and Emek is "Superman".

This seems like a rehash doesn't it. Deja Vu:

It's called "appropriation," artists from nearly every generation in existence have done it.

Here is wikipedia's take on it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriation_%28art%29

Not for sale, 800 emails.

He could print 1000 of these sell them for 50 buck and they would still shift ina week.

Shipping may take a little longer though.
