happy birthday to my sarah . still awesome. its been a great 7 years and i'm the luckiest oaf in the world.
for those of you spiritually inclined, say a little prayer for my uncle don, we're waiting for some medical results back and its just been a really rough week, and looks to be another rough week until we find out what's what.
of much lesser note.
i will give one Phish AP (2/10) to anyone that buys me an xbox 360
. i got the red ring of death on mine. i don't expect anyone to take me up on this but i figured i'd vent. video games help me relax. i make no excuses. -------------------------------------------
06.19.09
-------------------------------------------
happy birthday dad .
new poster up, i've had some dealings with the kind folks of Phish in the past, done some album stuff for them, and they asked me to do a poster. the deal was more of a 'we will pay you' kinda deal, so unfortunately i won't have any for sale. they let me have 10 artist proof copies, but i wouldn't know what to sell them for so i'm just hanging onto them. the edition size is 1000 (!), largest edition size i've ever done. plus all 1000 are signed and numbered, fun times. so if you're at the show tonight pick one up. if you like it. or not. i can't control you.

How can I get on your mailing list to be notified of upcoming poster releases?
under CONTACT, there is a form at the bottom with a GET ADDED TO MAILING LIST tag. put your email in that, click the buttons, listen for the whirring clicking sound and you will be uploaded into the matrix. or, email me at tyler@tstout.com - and say 'put me on your mailing list.'
PLEASE do a reprint of this particular poster, I will buy it!
its not my policy to do reprints. when i'm broke, living in a cardboard box, i might, or possibly when i want to put a second swimming pool on the roof of my guesthouse, but for now, i'm all like, 'LIVE IN THE NOW, MAN.' to myself, i say this. late at night. i whisper it.
I bought a poster from the Alamo drafthouse and its numbered but not signed. Why?
the Alamo usually needs their posters much sooner than i do, to have for sale at the screening. usually this means they are printed and shipped immediately, and since my screenprinter is in seattle (2.5 hours away from me), there isn't an opportunity for me to sign them in time. Alamo's posters are numbered, and the ones i have for sale are numbered as well out of the same run. all posters for sale on my site are signed.
Where else can I find your stuff for sale?
well, ebay sometimes has stuff, under 'tyler stout' or sometimes under that posters name (like 'big trouble in little china' or something). also, postersandtoys.net has stuff of mine, as does postercabaret.com and lonestarposters.com . also, expressobeans.com - which is kinda a gathering place for poster enthusiasts. Note: as far as i know all these places/people are on the level, but i'm not actually involved in any way if you buy from them, so theres that. plus, i have absolutely no control over any prices other than the ones on tstout.com. i price them here, everyone else prices them on their own sites.
How do I buy a poster from you?
you can tell which posters are for sale by seeing if theres an 'Add to Cart' button under the poster image. otherwise its sold out. if its for sale, click 'Add to Cart.' - when you're ready to check out, click on the shopping cart in the upper right corner, which should take you to the checkout page. if you're not used to using paypal, drop me an email about using a cashiers check.
How do you come up with your poster prices?
shipping plays a big part in that. shipping usually runs 8-10 bucks. you've probably shipped posters for less, but that's how much my post office charges me. so, if a poster is $20, $10 of that is shipping. easy. shipping outside of the usa usually costs me about $25. i know, ridiculous. i have the receipts if you don't believe me. rest assured that at the end of the day, all the money i make selling posters goes right towards getting the next poster printed.
Are your posters signed/numbered/screenprinted?
Yep.
I'm interested in having you do some work for my company / band / etc?
drop me an email.
I'm interested in having you do some work for my company / band / etc...for free?
drop my friend tom an email (mail@thethomaswilson.com)
Do you take all the jobs that come your way? Why not my job?
this isn't working, you're suffocating me. no, i don't take a lot of stuff that comes my way. not because i can afford to turn down work, but i can only do so much, and if i have other commitments, then i'll probably have to say no to yours. but check out the links on my friends page, lots of these guys do similar work. the world is your oyster my friend.
I'm interested in doing posters for a living, any advice?
go for it. lots of bands and venues out there, just start talking to them.
I'm interested in talking to you on the phone, what is your number?
i call you. one sec. is busy. maybe later.
Are these really Frequently Asked Questions?
that's the first time i've been asked that.
