It's by '60s psychedelic poster artist Bob Masse but it's of the 1975-on Rumours line-up! I think this is just boss! Nice traditional penguin in there too... Masse has done great new posters for Tori Amos and U2 in recent years as well.

I just have that card. About 6" x 3".

That one's cool but I don't have that particular Masse print. I have the AHI one. I like his work.

I have that, although it's rolled up in a tube at the moment, but it's even nicer in the flesh, so to speak. I might have to dig it out and put it up!

I picked it up at a poster store in Calgary.

I think its ugly

It's autographed by Bob, matted, framed and hangs on my purple living room wall. The Masse Stevie poster is on the other living room wall. :)

I don't like any of those Masse posters either. Maybe if I saw one in person I would change my mind, but I've never found them that attractive.:shrug:

i don't think they're particularly attractive, but i do think they're cool. an cool piece of pop art/history.

I think your standards are so high because you make the most beautiful sigs ever...:p

How do you really feel? :lol:

Actually I'm glad someone finally said this, after years of people praising these posters I can finally come out as a Bob Masse hater...I've never liked his posters....I can see the "cool/popart" factor - but I pretty much find them horribly difficult to look at :shrug:

Seriously though. Who else on the Planet Earth would do a poster of a red-haired woman with a down-turned nose, wearing a red gown, and say it's a portrait of "Stevie Nicks?"

Seriously, he even hid her boots! :rolleyes:

[Livia]

I was unknowingly standing right next to him at a record convention when I said, "He made her boobs droopy." Imagine my horror and embarrassment when he turned to me and introduced himself as the artist. :eek:

Well, obviously I like them. But I would have liked to have seen different pics used in the FM one.

^^
:lol: oops!

I meant to mention, in this particular poster I do very much enjoy Mick's Balls hanging from his picture :laugh:

[Aisling]

i have this one, as well as the one he did of stevie, hanging in my living room. both were signed and numbered by bob masse. i actually like the poster of stevie better. for some reason the photographs he used in this one annoy me. it doesn't feel cohesive, at least in my view.

I can understand people not liking Bob Masse's work, for one thing it's pretty imitative of Alphonse Mucha and he has been doing the same thing over and over. What I admire most is the quality of the printing on the posters in person, the color schemes (which are along the lines of Maxfield Parrish, rather gaudy and either works for you or doesn't), and the lettering is often very inventive. It's pretty much a dated style from the psychedelic sixties and also a time when Art Nouveau was back in vogue. I prefer the real posters (or reprints of same) that are meant and were used as advertising for a show or shows.

My friend gave one to me for Christmas a few years ago, and I love it. It's easy to see why some people wouldn't dig it, though.

Question: She got it on eBay, and it's signed, but how do I know if it's authentic. I've always wondered...

[Karlie]

I'm getting the Stevie one for Christmas. I think it's pretty... so what if he gave her red hair and droopy boobs?

just today at the Yukon, OK Hastings store selling for $10.00

Also for sale at the same store was a concert promo ad for a Stevie Nicks 1983 concert in Providence RI that was $8.

I was actually given it as a present so I have no idea where it comes from.
I can understand why some people don't like them, but I think they are very cool and retro looking.

I really like those awesome punk rock posters with the original artwork that gigposters.com sells though, so I guess the Bob Masse stuff sort of fits into that.

Not Fleetwood Mac but this is probably my most favourite concert poster ever (http://www.gigposters.com/posters.php?poster=69414)

I like what Becca says. She knows her stuff :nod:
