"'This is John Baker, tour manager of the White Stripes, I'm in Lyon, France looking at a poster you did. Please call me back as soon as possible.' That phone message woke me up one fine September morning and I nearly messed my drawers. A friend had told me that so long as you had the venue's permission, it was cool to make posters for national touring acts. This, my second poster out attempting this procedure, demonstrated that wasn't the case. You had to get the band's permission too if you wanted to be safe and avoid a tongue-lashing.
I timidly called Baker back, and got a dressing down that had me stammering worse than Claudius. He unexpectedly ended the tirade, however, by revealing he and the band loved the poster. It felt like getting yelled at by your neighbor for breaking a window with a baseball only to have him compliment you for hitting the ball so far.
At any rate, I asked if I could submit some other posters for approval, and Baker agreed to look at them and show the band. So I'm indebted to him and France for setting me on a course that didn't involve storyboards for Tecate.
Probably the hardest poster of mine to find as the Stripes commandeered the 50 I sent to the club. Tiffany at Monotone also asked for an additional 10 later, so there aren't that many floating around outside the Stripes compound."
