[cyclopsshooter]

is it ok to print these and hang a few in my store?

[Oleg Volk]

Email me for the high-res printable files.

[Floppy_D]

That first one is my favorite. I imagine most parents on here will like it, too.

[CoRoMo]

The second one and the last one win, hands down IMO.

[Larry Ashcraft]

Excellent stuff, Oleg, as always. Your posters get better and better.

That first one reminds me of certain little boys who hang around our place on weekends.

[Deltaboy]

God Bless you Oleg Gun ownership is a Human right! Prayers for all those who go to sleep tonite with out that Right in there home on their nightstand.

[Tim the student]

Full of goodness. Thanks for making them - they are great.

[ScottG1911]

Great work Oleg. you have a great way with that camera and words

[fireman 9731]

Now if we could only get a campaign started to get them on billboards across the country...

[M60]

Absolutly fantastic!

-Mark.

[hso]

Good stuff!

[jbkebert]

Great posters love them all.

[federalfarmer]

M60 Great sig line! :D

Oleg, you are the man. The last one is my favorite.

[armoredman]

Love that last one.

[akodo]

#1

It would be better if the message 'teach them about guns before TV does' was on the 2nd half somewhere. Also, you can barely see it is a gun the father is cleaning and exposing his son to. i'd reshoot that with a more visible gun. I'd also consider shooting it with a father and son firing a 22LR cricket, saftey glasses and muffs, etc, although that might be better with a 7 year old not a 3 year old'

#2 drop the bottom line. We don't give freedom up for anythign because it is freedom, not because it gives some slight advantage

Those two are good, but can use improvments

#3 = meh, yawn. Looks very fake and staged, probably something to do with her facial expression (or lack of it) and how she is holding the gun. I'd scrap that one.

#4. It's good. Question: why do you have a wielder in one but not the other? I think it would work better if you had a human + frying pan and human + shotgun. Heck, i'd do the frying pan where you can just see a female hand holding it upraised like about to swing, but a male hand holding her hand, preventing her from using it. Then the shotgun I'd have the gun pointed at the camera, in focus on the muzzle, woman very unfocused and shadowy it the back...kind of what a criminal would see in both circumstances (a pretty good chance of countering the improvised weapon and all attention on a very dangerous muzzle regardless of sex or size of wielder)

#5 this just seems odd. Looks like the clothing is from some S&M laytex sex fantasy prop box. Distracting. The cookie jar doesn't help any, nor the facial expression. Too many problems interfiring with the message.

#6 very good. Unfortunately the pattern of the shirt and the wife's position makes it look like she has one of those 40s film nuiar mustaches. I didn't realize it was a woman at first because of that, especially with the hollywood comment above

#7 I think the nudity is distracting, unless you can get someone very thin that looks like they may be running from a concentration camp. On the third frame, the cloths of the woman look to modern. I'd put her in a skirt at least.
If you are going to go with nudity, on the first image I'd have at least 3 people naked and attempting to flee, maybe some of them already going down. Image 2 would have all downed bodies...and something dark on them to suggest blood or mud.

[akodo]

for the little red riding hood, I'd start with a whole different angle. Get a young woman with a nice backside to be in tight jeans, with a red hoodie on, positioned so we can see a CCW piece, either at the small of the back or IWB on the side, just turn the model a bit so we can see it. Have the model in color but setting an alley or brick wall, have the setting be black and white, photography, so it looks greyish and brooding, that being the modern woods where the wolves prowl.

It you can't do the actual alleyway, then a grey backround lit around the model but fading harshly into smokey dark grey is what i would go for

[Wildyams]

I like them, but Akodo has some great suggestions. I'm really not feeling the 3rd and 5th pictures..

[scotthsi]

#6... A P11? A freakin' POS Kel-Tec?!? You can do better than that Oleg!

[Floppy_D]

A freakin' POS Kel-Tec?!?

I betcha that was intentional. The point is that self defense is a human right, and a family who can't afford high dollar guns still has a right to self defense. So yeah, a Kel-Tec.

[hso]

#6... A P11? A freakin' POS Kel-Tec?!? You can do better than that Oleg!

You wanna loan him something "better"? :neener:

[CoRoMo]

POS Kel-Tec?!?

Oleg's pics are fine without veiled gun-snobbery.

And as much as I hate to try and pick apart the work of an artist, I think akodo makes some good criticisms. I don't agree with all of his remarks, but overall, they generally reflect my impressions.

[scotthsi]

I betcha that was intentional. The point is that self defense is a human right, and a family who can't afford high dollar guns still has a right to self defense. So yeah, a Kel-Tec.

Most families can knock off the drinking, smoking, snacks/Cokes at work, eating out, movie/game rentals, lottery tickets, whatever "frivolous" type expenditures for a month or two, stash that cash and be able to afford a NICE defensive pistol or other firearm.

Someone who can "afford" a Kel-Tec costing almost $300 (I know, I have a P11 and it's still a POS) can do a LOT better. Starting with a good ol' pump shotgun. Which would you rather have for home defense...hmmmm? I have an old Mossberg 500 I bought in the 80s that has never had a single issue and I've shot the crap out of that shotgun. Bought it USED for under $100 and it even has very nice wood on it. Plus, they are barely over $200 BRAND SPANKIN' NEW right here in 2009. :cool:

And there's always the used handgun market for CCW... Used Glocks can be found for not much more than $300 and there's always the good old Makarov, which is dead nuts reliable. Same can't be said for Kel-Tec's NOTORIOUS reputation for putting out unreliable firearms. And don't take that from me. Just do an internet search...

You wanna loan him something "better"?

I've already made my recommendation. ;)

Maybe we'll see Oleg start to use Hi-Points and chromed Jennings/Bryco/Raven/Jimenez stuff for the po folks crowd?

[SigP229R]

I love the Little Red Riding Hood

[CoRoMo]

Most families can knock off the drinking, smoking, snacks/Cokes at work, eating out, movie/game rentals, lottery tickets, whatever "frivolous" type expenditures for a month or two, stash that cash and be able to afford a NICE defensive pistol or other firearm.

Maybe. Maybe most CAN, but most DON'T. That's a simple fact; accept it. Is Oleg supposed to portray some fantasy world where all households operate at peak potential and financial effectiveness? Or, can he, with your permission, illustrate what the average low income family might have to resort to?

Someone who can "afford" a Kel-Tec costing almost $300 (I know, I have a P11 and it's still a POS) can do a LOT better.
Again, sure they can, but we don't live in that world where all gun owners have the highest of standards and financial responsibility.
Starting with a good ol' pump shotgun. Which would you rather have for home defense...hmmmm?
The shotty of course, but I'm blessed with the means and the knowledge to know the difference and ability to afford the better. Not all Americans are this fortunate. Is it alright if Oleg shows us a glimpse of these types of Americans?
I have an old Mossberg 500 I bought in the 80s that has never had a single issue and I've shot the crap out of that shotgun. Bought it USED for under $100 and it even has very nice wood on it. Plus, they are barely over $200 BRAND SPANKIN' NEW right here in 2009.
Lucky you. You should feel immeasurably opportune. It'd be nice if everyone could be as advantageous, but reality dictates otherwise.

And there's always the used handgun market for CCW... Used Glocks can be found for not much more than $300 and there's always the good old Makarov, which is dead nuts reliable.
Also true, but we still don't live in that imaginary world where every gun purchased meets your standards. Ah, the taste of freedom: To be able to buy... wait for it... what one prefers.
Same can't be said for Kel-Tec's NOTORIOUS reputation for putting out unreliable firearms. And don't take that from me. Just do an internet search...
No thanks, I've learned not to believe everything posted on the internet. My experience with Kel Tec is enough for me to carry one everyday.

Maybe we'll see Oleg start to use Hi-Points and chromed Jennings/Bryco/Raven/Jimenez stuff for the po folks crowd?

The gun snobbery is breath-taking.

[scotthsi]

The gun snobbery is breath-taking.

Yup, guess it is... :cool:

Lucky you. You should feel immeasurably opportune. It'd be nice if everyone could be as advantageous, but reality dictates otherwise.

I'm "lucky", as you say, because I have a garden variety Mossberg 500 I got on the cheap because it was used? Dude, there are deals like that all over the place. Did you miss the part where I said a NEW Mossy 500 is just over $200? You know, CHEAPER than that P11?

And, as for your "gun snobbery" fantasy... You think someone owning a shotgun which cost less than $100 is a gun snob??? :D

[OurSafeHome.net]

used handgun market for CCW.

Used/surplus .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers are much more reliable than the "economy" priced autoloaders.

(Ladies also like that brass is not flung at them, nor are fingernails as likely to be broken with a revolver.)

[scotthsi]

FINALLY! Someone who "gets it". Huge +1.

Cheap, used and and just all around good wheelguns can be found all the time.

[Oleg Volk]

akodo had the most helpful suggestions. Some of the photos I can re-shoot. Red Riding Hood was more of a joke illustrations, the others were serious. I will try to make the TV version.

I try to mix up gun types and models for variety. The family depicted actually has nicer guns. The husband would use a USP 45 and the wife an M1911.

http://olegvolk.net/gallery/d/34216-2/teach_safety_6113web.jpg

[Oleg Volk]

http://olegvolk.net/gallery/d/34222-2/dads_gun_5958web.jpg

[hso]

Oleg,

There's no value in reshooting based on comments about the quality/value of the firearms in the pictures.

The only suggestion I would make is to have the model wear period clothing consistent with the 1940's. There were resistance fighters who used their simpler weapons to acquire the more "modern" weapons of their murderous oppressors. That is unless you're intentionally having her in modern garb, then nevermind.

[Oleg Volk]

hso,

I just need to re-shoot that set of images. I took them while assisting another photographer and more period outfits just weren't available.

[akodo]

I do try to be critical, because honestly, while all your work is quite good, a bunch of fanboys gushing praises never really helps. I am glad you took my criticism as it was intended.

I too think exact firearm type is very irrelvant. That may be the first thing a gunny looks at, but I always try and view these through the eyes of fence-sitter, and for the vast majority of them, a gun is a gun is a gun, and arguments about the exact type of gun are equvalent to florists pointing out that you used the wrong subspecies of rose in your valentine's day add.

[CoRoMo]

I didn't care too much for the way the first poster was worded because an anti-gun poster would have identical text. The version you attached in post #32 fixes that issue.

[jfh]

CoRoMo: I see your point--but, to me, that the text would be identical is the reason the poster resonates so well: it takes an "anti" thought and, by supplying the image, moves it to positive behavior.

The subtlety of the text, IOW, adds to the strength.

Jim H.

[Justin]

I wouldn't ever use Hobo Standard as a font in anything. It belongs in the same bin of overused fonts as Comic Sans, Papyrus, and Copperplate.

Especially wouldn't consider using it for speech balloons from children. The retro-60's design of the font looks incongruous when used in conjunction with a child.

The model of gun is frankly immaterial, and would have no impact on message to the intended viewer (presumably someone who is a fence-sitter with regard to firearms ownership or self defense) so dickering over that is, quite frankly, ridiculous and of no constructive use whatsoever.

[Eyesac]

lol I can just imagine the call to the cops:
There's a naked lady running around and a nazi trying to shoot her, come quick!

[danprkr]

I just want red riding hood's phone number :D

[Oleg Volk]

I just want red riding hood's phone number

She is single and a very nice person. I can convey your email address to her.

[hso]

In a pro piece I would be reluctant to use the phrase "Gun Culture". That is intentionally used to set us apart from the group.

I would prefer to see, "Introduce your kids to guns/shooting like our fathers did before rappers and games do." or "Introduce your kids to shooting like our parents did before rappers and breathless news reports do." or something along those line. "Teach your kids about guns like our fathers did before..."

[Floppy_D]

Someone who can "afford" a Kel-Tec costing almost $300 (I know, I have a P11 and it's still a POS) can do a LOT better. Starting with a good ol' pump shotgun. Which would you rather have for home defense...hmmmm?

Go back to what I said:

The point is that self defense is a human right, and a family who can't afford high dollar guns still has a right to self defense.

Being a right, personal defense selection is a non-issue. Further, nonbody has to have their weapon of choice approved through you, which makes your input rhetorical at best. Would you like a non-expert (or even expert, for that matter) to tell you what to carry and own? Respect the individual choices of others, and the freedom to make your own choices. :rolleyes:

[LaserSpot]

I don't see anything wrong with using "gun culture" in a RKBA positive message. Seeing the phrase used this way reduces the impact when it's used negatively. I do prefer post #32 over the first version.

[Oleg Volk]

http://olegvolk.net/gallery/d/34255-2/spouse_8376web.jpg

[hso]

I think #46 works well for us, but I doubt it reaches undecideds or antis. The idea that we'd need to defend ourselves in such a way is so foreign to the vast majority of folks that it is probably unimaginable and therefore absurd to them.

[Oleg Volk]

They aren't my target audience. I am trying to appeal to gunnies whose spouses wouldn't know how to pick up a firearm or which end of it shoots.

[kwelz]

#5 this just seems odd. Looks like the clothing is from some S&M laytex sex fantasy prop box.


And this is a bad thing because?

[Oleg Volk]

It's a Halloween costume and used because the whole picture was to be in jest. It's a fairy tale we are talking about!

[MinnMooney]

I see several members don't seem to relate to the mother standing between her kids and an unseen intruder... with a 1911 pistol... waiting for the police to get there.
I've been there, done that and this picture brought a tear to my eye.

My first 2 thoughts were :
1.) that she should never have to be in that position - but life happens and there really are bad people out there that will do massive harm to the unprotected.
2.) My mind jumped to how this picture would look if she didn't have the pistol. She'd be cowering behind the bed with her two kids waiting and hoping that the police showed up before the intruder comes into the bedroom. In this sceneario, she'd be a sheep waiting for the wolf.

[Dulvarian]

Really like #46. My wife is a great shot, she is just a little hesitant on picking them up and coming to the range with me. It's also great because that looks like the ACOG that I want to put on my SIG 556. Awesome choice on that rifle for that pic, for me to help get my wife more into shooting :D And no gushing on that. For me, it works in a way that very very few other things would be able to.

[Dulvarian]

Rofl. That was the inspiration that I needed to take my wife to the store to 'look at some reloading supplies'. I just happened to tell her that she was free to look at something that was more comfortable for her hands than mine... and she picked an XD9. And she told me she wanted a CWP. Like I died and went to heaven.

[EvanWilliams]

Sad to think it, but how many times did the nazi/jewish woman situation play out in reality? How many times were they stripped, raped and then shot?
Never give up guns. Ever.

[bigalexe]

Posters are definitely cool.

The only thing I absolutely have to mention is that the little red riding hood one isn't something I would post in a store that I own on account of the fact that her clothing looks like something that could be from an adult costume store. As a result of this it comes off as unrealistic to me, and potentially repulsive to someone on the fence who is a family values proponent. I would recommend that you change it as Akodo suggested, a hoodie and correctly tight blue jeans is very common and believable.

These 3 things are light suggestions and probably subject to interpretation.
-the 3rd one looks goofy to me mostly in that the woman has a crazy facial expression and she looks like shes about to drop that gun as if it were a hundred pound brick.
-The 2nd one is absolutely cool, just that with a quick glance to me it looks like his "Daughter" could be old enough to be his wife (If you hadn't stated it I wouldn't know). Alternately the guy may look younger than he really is to me, also this is the modern world so im not gonna judge.
-Love the last one, just make sure it stays out Germany because I hear they've outlawed pretty much anything Nazi related.

Besides that, great.

[Oleg Volk]

More up on my blog.

[PT1911]

I for one find the nazi and jew poster to be very moving and the BLURRED nudity was a very good touch as it conveys a sense of complete vulnerability and defenselssness.

I like the others as well, but that is the most effective IMO.

[Oleg Volk]

And on that topic, I recommend a film called "Divided We Fall" (http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/677446.html). Just watched it. Excellent example of how that "great" experiment worked out for the defenseless participants.

[rmmoore]

Oleg, VERY good work overall. I think some of the folks replying to this are a little too up-tight or perhaps have an overly generous opinion of themselves. While I tend to agree with some of the "facts" regarding lower priced, "cheaper" firearms, reality dictates that you buy what you can afford. And for many families, including single moms (and dads), single income families, ect., a Kel-Tec may be the best they can FIND, let alone afford.

Remember folks, right now isn't exactly prime-time for a premium selection of guns or ammunition. Would YOU buy that "I always wanted to have one" handgun if you COULDN'T buy or find the ammo for it, and really, truly NEEDED it or at least FELT like you did? OR, would you settle for something that you could walk out of the store with a box of ammunition too? You get the point? I am also "fortunate" enough to be able to afford quality firearms, but I know folks who can't. There are many, wonderful, used revolvers out there that are GREAT home defense guns.

As a firearms Instructor, I recommend double-action revolvers almost 100% of the time to "newbies" and those who are new to self-defense. Believe me, you'd be surprised at how many folks have hunted their entire lives and never gave a thought to using a firearm for self-defense against 2-legged animals.

Back to the posters. I like posters showing women taking the initiative to defend themselves and their families. I travel quite a bit, but I am 100% confident in my wife's ability to defend herself, and our children, in my absence. She recently took an Antelope on the move with one shot. If you don't understand what that means, read up on Pronghorn hunting. She still however, likes to see that other women are doing the same. I'm a guy, so I don't get it, but women like to know that they aren't alone when it comes to guns and ESPECIALLY CCW. I am trying and my wife says I'm making progress:o Keep up the good work.

While it's not "my thing", I personally like the pink AR, or at least the young lady you have modeling it, or with it, or whatever you call it :D They make a fine pair. And pretty or not, I wouldn't want to be looking down the wrong end at either one of them.

[rmmoore]

Oh, and one other thing. I have a buddy who is a certifiable "gun nut", and he carries a Kel-Tec 9mm EVERY DAY. He loves it and I couldn't steal it from him if I tried. Lest you think he is somehow deprived, he also shoots competitively with $5000 custom rifles and 1911's. Let the gun-snobs swallow that. He has more than an adequate selection of excellent handguns to choose from, but due to his particular situation, the Kel-Tec works for him. It's not MY cup-of-tea as they say, but who am I to judge?

[PT1911]

Kel tecs are quality guns that fill a niche as well or better than others for a lower price and is a company that actually stands behind their product....

[Oleg Volk]

So long as we are on the topic of inexpensive guns...

Steyr .32

http://olegvolk.net/gallery/d/34304-2/steyr32-7175-7185.jpg

Gorgeous machining, tip-up barrel...heavy and big.

Kel-tec P32 (newer model than my backup but the same otherwise)

http://olegvolk.net/gallery/d/33994-2/P32_pocket_clip_6743web.jpg

Adequate looks but nothing fancy. Simpler in use, probably 1/3 of the weight and half the size. And, if we are comparing price adjusted for income of the time, perhaps 1/10 the price.

I deal with people for whom $105 for CHL application and $120 for the mandatory course are not affordable. They end up carrying .22 pistols for lack of money to get practice ammo in any other chambering. Many such people have no access to informal rural ranges, so also have to come up with $20-30 range fee every time they need to go practice. Less expensive guns in common calibers (such as P11) are popular for that reason also.

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

Many such people have no access to informal rural ranges, so also have to come up with $20-30 range fee every time they need to go practice.

I hear ya on that. I have no access to any spot in the woods where you can just shoot. I need to pay for range time by the hour every time. Thankfully I've got enough cash to practice once every 2-3 weeks but a lot of people around here do not.

[Dr.Rob]

Nothing inexpensive about that pre-war Steyr. That fire bluing is still brilliant. Neat old pistol.

[RockyMtnTactical]

I really like the first one you posted there. That is totally my 2 year old son. Everything is a gun to him, and they are always full auto with unlimited ammo...

Definitely need to teach him that is not the case in real life.

Great posters.

[Dannix]

#56, that "only good commie" t-shirt cracked me up. :D

Email en route for a high-res of the first on #1. :)

[Mp7]

if you know a graphic designer ... that wouldn´t hurt.

As a copywriter i can just tell you, that the positioning of the headlines
as well as rather leaving something out - makes a great difference.

THe "do before TV or Rappers do" is a good simple idea.

The others are too simple/blunt for me.

a smarter pic/headline combination makes for a poster
that does not only appeal to the already convinced ... but also
might grab the positive attention of "the other people".

my 02$.
Cheers, Mp7

[C-grunt]

So for the "not hollywood" picture did you put out a request for ugly people?

Just kidding!!!

The Nazi one with the woman is the best one you have ever done IMO.

I kind of want to get a pink AR just just to see the jaws drop at the range:neener:

First one reads fine, the second needs to have "some things" typed as two words.

[MinnMooney]

Great posters, Oleg.

These make a huge impression on me and many of THR members but we're already convinced and dedicated to 2nd amendment rights. These need to get out to the general public like on a billboard or in a large newspaper/magazine ad.

If any THR member is into commercial advertizing or works with billboard prep or knows how to approach newspapers/mags then maybe you could start a fund toward getting several of Oleg's posters displayed where thousands or millions will see them.

Think of the impact that the anti-abortionists have made with their billboards on "a heart is beating in x days" or "a fetus has 'fingers' in x weeks". Those billboards and ads are in many places and, I guess, are having an impact.

I know... "It's easy to say but hard to do." If I were more talented at getting the above done, I'd start the project but I'm a land surveyor and haven't the foggiest idea of how to get all of the detail work going for this kind of project.

[Rezin]

I don't like the last one at all........... The rest are excellent.

[thorazine]

Nice work!




Speaking of posters...

I need to get my post count up. :(



Maybe one day I will break one thousand.

[Foofles]

I love your web site Oleg :) If you don't mind (and I'm sure you don't) I am sharing links to it with many friends. Very good work.

[Sixtigers]

That last poster? Referencing armed Jews?

That's some powerful work, brother. Possibly the best I've ever seen you do.

Disturbingly powerful...but if you can look at that poster, and still not get the message, I submit that you're just not capable of ever getting it.

BZ, Oleg. Nice work.

[Oleg Volk]

http://olegvolk.net/gallery/d/34610-2/gunfree_zone_1036web.jpg

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

I don't see the need for the "They Just Disarm the Law-Abiding for the Slaughter" at the bottom necessary. The blood colored sign with the person turned into a target makes it pretty apparent that this is against gun free zones for that reason. The redundant text, to me, comes off as corny or even preachy.

[General Geoff]

Alternatively, replace the bottom line with "They Attract Them"

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

Brilliant! I would like it a lot better with that line at the bottom.

[SapperMapper]

I like it as it is, but General Geoff's suggestion is great. It would complete the thought nicely.

[trol79]

I liked the one with the unarmed/armed jews , because that is the right language anti-gunners and so themself calling "pacifists" would mostly understand. at least in germany (I know many of this guys). the rest was also cool.

[Oleg Volk]

The dad is protecting them by carrying a gun, but they can ride bikes barefoot or in sandals and no protective gear?

That was noted before -- I plan on re-taking the photos later this month.

Can I print them off and nail them to the Houses of Parliament!

Great thought provoking pics - congrats

Hi All,
I like all the guns but that first one is my favourite.
Thanks for sharing

I would like to see the caption from post #1 placed with the picture in post #32. I think that would be a winner.

It looks to me like the camo is Marine

That is, indeed, MARPAT camouflage and not the Army's ACU pattern.

Quinton Jackson measured in his punch at 1800psi.

PSI and lbs/ft (foot/pounds) are apples and oranges.
