2008 Derby Poster
 

I wonder how much money is spent on creating a poster each year.

That's actually the Festival poster.. the 2 week hoo-hah around Lu'ville...

This is the Derby/Oaks artwork which cleverly 'connect'..


DERBY POSTER





OAKS POSTER





'CONNECTED' LIMITED EDITION

Well I think it's another attempt to focus on the fan rather than the product. I guess it's kind of neat. It could be worse, they could have me paint it.

Looks a little like the woman on the left is clawing at the chest of the one in the middle.

I like the other one though. Don't love it but it's..... fine.

Now that's what the Oaks is all about!!!!!!:D

first derby poster in a while that I have actually liked.

I like it alot, too actually - except the 6 furlong difference between the front and back of the field seems a little weird to me <g>

(btw those seats are available for Twin Spires Club members for only $1200! ;)

As has been the case several times with recent Oaks/Derby artwork/imagery, I prefer the Oaks. Check the Oaks art..


My absolute favorite favorite from the last few years... Have it and need to get it to my framer...




Also terrific...




Neiman...




Last year... Was OK too..

I really like the second one!

What's your point here steve?

it's no secret that you and I don't have the same taste....I don't like those one's that you posted....

No point... Just saying that I've preferred the Oaks artwork to the Derby artwork the last several years. They are always by the same commissioned artist and regularly compliment each other or are integral of each other. But in nearly every case I've found the Oaks portion the 'better' stand alone piece...

Kinda looks like Doonesbury.

I was a fan of the 2005 Derby print.

Thinking about it, good point about the Oaks, I tend to prefer those, too.

I like last (and this) year's the best...the first one looks like the Wicked Witch of the West modeled for the artist.

I think about what the KY Derby is like in May - all bright pastels and light, sunshine, spring, excitement, hope, movement - I find the brown and blue 2003 poster just depressing.
