Tim Gunn Loves My Poster!

So, as I’ve mentioned, Tim Gunn & Phil Jimenez are signing at Midtown Comics and apparently Tim Gunn loved the poster I made for the event.

While getting this forwarded email certainly brightened my day, I wasn’t going to upload the poster itself because, like I said, it’s really nothing special. But now as it turns out, Tim Gunn apparently asked to have a copy of the poster! Unfortunately, I figure I can’t really share/brag about this *again* without showing everybody what the “hubbub” was about.
So, here’s the poster:

Like I’ve said to anyone who complimented it, the only reason this poster looks good is because the artwork — by Phil Jimenez — is good. In fact, I’d say that’s the case with most posters I make for Midtown. I’m lucky to be able to use & play with such cool images. It’s sort of like DJ-ing — as Tally often points out, the DJ just rearranges the songs or elements, the original artists are the real talents. Same thing goes for the posters I put up, and ones like this in particular, which has surely delivered the highest ratio of praise to actual work put in ever. Thank you, Mr. Jimenez.
