Description
When I drew a scene in Maccadam's Old Oil House , arguably my favorite element ended up being the parodies of classic Guinness posters I put on the wall. And I'm thinking of selling my art again at BotCon this year, so I figured why not make one of those posters for real?Let me know what you think.

Think you'll offer this one and the other guinness parody poster as a print on deviantart?

No plans on doing that right now, but if enough people say they want one, you never know...

brilliant, instantly recognised what they were as a pub in a nearby town has 2 or 3 posters painted on an outside wall

The prints came in last week, and they're looking good. My first priority is selling them at BC, but if there are any left over (or demand is high enough for a second run), I can let you know...

This kicks so much ass words fail me! Dude, you combined beer and Transformers!!! Sky Lynx too! All available awesome has been included. Brilliant!

Heh. Well put! I'm glad you dig it - and yeah, poor Sky Lynx just doesn't get the attention he knows he deserves these days.

Matt, I can't over-emphasize how much I admire everything you share here.
All of your work seems so carefully considered both in concept and realization -- which, aside from time constraints, I'm sure, is probably why a new TRANSFORMERS piece only periodically flows from you. I always long for more, but I'm glad you take your time, because it makes it all the more worth waiting for.
If I were making it to BotCon this year, I would enjoy meeting up with you again -- it's been too long! -- and totally be taking one of these off your hands.

Thank you! I always look forward to your commentary. And yeah, there's a certain amount of... oomph I put into these pieces that makes them hard to just dash off on a whim. Outside of the time on the clock I know I'll be dedicating when I start a piece, there's a kind of psychological state I go into that requires I be willing to set other commitments aside until I'm satisfied I'm done. I really wish I could do it more lightly, but my brain works the way my brain works.
Anyway, I hope you can make it to another BC someday, and of course if I ever find myself in Norway I'll be sure to drop you a line!

Excellent, I knew what you were channeling the instant I saw it!

Awesome! Hopefully other people will too if/when I sell prints...

Would you be willing to sell prints of this piece? It's glorious!

it just like when things start getting aggressive, then every one stops and stares starry eyed at flying energon

If you do make them real, would you put them up for sale for those of us who aren't going to BotCon?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I might. Depends on how many prints are left over and if it seems like it would be worth the trouble to deal with shipping and so forth. I'll announce it if I do!

Ahah! That's understandable. XD

I LOVE THIS! It's like off of a Guinness sign with the toucan, "Lovely day for a Guinness!" Great job on this!!

"Energon for strength!"
"What pterodactyl... can... do?" Nah, maybe not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HA! Energon for strength, you should totally do one with like cliffjumper or bumblebee lifting up a steel girder.

Hmmmm, like this one ? Not a bad idea at all! I'll keep that in mind...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, and it would look funny cause it's the smallest of the autobots. Or I guess you could do like the tapes in blaster or soundwave.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Brilliantly funny! And now I mysteriously want some energon...

I'd buy one in a second. Sadly I won't be at botcon, would there be any chance of you selling them online?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I prefer the ease of face-to-face transactions, but if I end up with prints left over, that could happen.

SKYLINX! there needs to be more of him...in everything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am sure he would agree!

The original poster means nothing to me, but I love the idea!

Fantastic. I would buy this and have it as a poster on my wall!

This is brilliant! I love your style here, especially lil' Laserbeak and Prime and Megatron's faces.
I know would gladly buy a poster like this. :---)
