Re: 2020 Poster Discussion
This got posted in dmb poster group. Lmfao. The methane guys are such shitheads. Won’t be buying a single thing from them again.
“I wanted to share this with the group. To my surprise, I received an email today (below) from Etsy that Methane has declined and refunded a recent 2 DMB print purchase as I had been banned via their social media because of ‘disrespectful & hateful’ comments in the past and that I would no longer have the privilege of doing business with them.
After the laughter subsided— I remembered that probably no less than 8-10 years ago I posted a remark on their Instagram after they unveiled another one of their mail-it-in, looked like it was designed in the dark, Dave prints. A comment I don’t fully remember but will still stand by. While Methane has had a few good prints in recent years, it’s frequently discussed with great enthusiasm when a print comes out and it’s a Slater (Deer Creek), Tsang (Cville/Mex), Helton (The Chelsea), Sperry (Gorge), etc., and not a more of the same 3-color Methane. Sure a number of grails came out of Atlanta but for every Treehouse there are 150 that we would pass on if we weren’t at the show or didn’t just enjoy the collecting of DMB prints. I just came back from the Cancun shows and there was a stack two inches thick of the Methane poster still for sale two days later.
If Methane doesn’t want my business— that’s fine. I’ll stand by my opinion and if I want one of their prints, I’ll probably be able to get it cheaper on eBay than from them. To use an Atlanta analogy— you’re getting lapped Methane and will continue to unless you worry about the design of your prints more than their deserved criticism. Don’t get me wrong, my favorite is the Chess Piece series and all are framed in my home. When they’re good, they nail it.
The privilege isn’t in doing business with you, it’s in the fact that this amazing band still decides to commission you, albeit less and less each year— to make show prints. Do better or continue to get passed by. ‘Shine your light while you’ve got one....’ Thanks for listening. #methanestudios #dmbgc #davematthewsband“
