Concept? What concept?
All I see are whack graphics? Prince is my dude but really though!
Wow, this is different. I can dig it. Props to the artist for their funky design.
What is on Sunday Oct 11? All day and all night?
… interesting artwork
Eye think everyone is missing what is being conveyed in the art. Look closely. Anybody?????
CD and DVD?.. The graphics are very dubious, but still fun and ALWAYS cool to get something from Prince, even if he’s got a blue face, WTF!
The pics I like best are the first and third ones. The last one is a close 3rd but could do without the blue faces. It’s not the Blue Man Group you know.
Anyway, I do like the variations of the main pic.
I like, just wish I was able to go
hope everyone has an amazing time

Very “Under The Cherry Moon”. I love the concepts and can’t wait to see what comes into fruition.
gorgeous….love this new artwork he’s got going…doesn’t this look like the Monaco art deco deal?? very cool.
sigh…(shakes head)
He’s doing fine. He’s in a good place now. If only I can get that far .. .I’d be oke too. (great art work btw)
So sorry I’m going to miss out in seeing him.. yet again.
Much Love
All day…the sun All night…the moon
But it also reminds me of the right eye of Ra(representing the sun). The left eye of Thoth(representing the moon). The two eyes together are The Eyes of Horus (The Elder). The eye perceives light and is the symbol for spiritual ability.
Very nice artwork.
Doc are these available for sale….posters? He should be selling these – - I’d buy one.
^^ thank you DigMeNow…
I’m feeling it! I loved the Parade Era…..the music, the clothes, the SWAGG! I’m loving the concept of Funkin’ NOW while celebrating the past!
me likey!!!!
One can only hope….seems very Gemini. If only his naughty side would come out and play.
OOOOOOHHHHH IT’S GORGEOUSLY GREAT ARTWORK !!! OHH, MY, I CAN’T WAIT……SUNDAY IS GONNA B THE WONDERFULLEST DAY/NITE OF ME LIFE.WOW. LOVE IS GRACIOUS.
Wow, a nice departure from the normal posters. Cool. My preference is the next to last, where his face is in all blue. I think the part face/part blue is a little creepy and Phantom of the Opera-like.
These r cool. Looking smooth Mr. P. Thank you P & Doc.
Thanx
Looks like Prince Tarot Cards.
And this one stands self recognition.
ying and yang. Day and night. Black and white.
It’s all in one. One love y’all!
Love it…. he kinda looks like Little Richard on the left
maggiegurl, you and most people would buy anything Prince would sell..;)
True Gemini. In constant battle with himself. Masks. Dual Personalities. Which is stronger? Which is the real him? Or are neither of them who he really is or wants to be?
He seems to be in conflict over something in his life
It’s cool.I like it!”I’ve got 2 sides and they’re both friends” is what it makes me think of.The astrological sign for gemini is twins..And I do see the sun,moon,stars.And as digmenow mentioned about the “eye”.Perhaps eye of healing?I like the last image best.I think that the artwork would make for a nice t-shirt or poster etc.Looks as if he is wearing a mask not just a blue face.I think there is more than what meets the eye with this but ….Interpretations…lol I’ll wait and see.What I hope for him is that he is listening to his heart and that it will lead him to where and who he wants to be!
Thanks for sharing
Not a graphic artist, but I am an artist and I LIKE the artwork! I actually like them all, but the last one with the last one where you can clearly see the combination of photograph and drawing is really appealing to me.
i love prince and its a cool concept, but these graphics take away from his prettyman face. Doesn’t even look like Prince to me. I’m a graphic artist. Let me try.
)
Any Prince info makes me happy!
Thanks Doc!!
Yo, that is hot right there. I would love for that to be a future album cover from His Royal Badness!
I am sorry to have to say that I find these sketches absolutely horrible, and terrible. I hope Prince doesn’t publish these posters in Paris, that would ruin all the great buzz campaign he’s been doing here recently.
Please reconsider either the designer, or the concept.
<— a french fan absolutely horrified at all poster projects.
Oh btw I LOOOVE the blue colors . Good stuff
I Love the poster without Prince on it, you can see it on le grand palais official website grandpalais.fr . B&W only, it should be the final poster for the Paris Shows, I would buy one, but not with the man in blue…
Absolutely love this, everything about it. The duality, the blue masks, the harmonious combination of both sun and moon, good and bad, as One.
I agree that it would make a great future album cover.
You are welcome justmemuchlove.
I would go on to say this concept is an extension of Lostusflow3r. The sun God Ra emerged from Lotus petals. The petals would blossom during the day and enfold Ra where he returned to the Lotus at night.
Hmmm….I am wondering if the 3 in Lotusflow3r is about the Third Dynasty…
Is that turquoise blue?? Because that would make sense to me.
The mirror idea with day/night faces is a good one
the pictures themselves are not very nice.
It is dark, it doesn’t reflect anything about the venue (Mr Designer, look at pictures of the place, you’ll get new inspirations for sure)
(look here : URL not working)
please find something more funky, more “happy”, more entertaining
Day and Night
I like this concept
Especially since many Prince concerts take place after midnight and some people don’t like to stay up that late
“..Because that would make sense to me….”

@ DigMeNow. Thats it! It all makes sense.That is why I love it and that’s why I said he’s in a good place now (its Prince
Should b n Purple not blue. Otherwise its unique. i like it.
Because this master is one of music; readily, we must think of it. Specifically, in three parts or sonata form, of which three or four are composed; thus three graphics. And too, they are all dyptichs which can be “folds of two works with matching parts”.
The eye of flame is pointed up, because heritage is denoted, with regard to the word “flame” representing an ethnicity; succinctly, a perfuming essence.
There has to be blue colouring to demarcate Mr. Nelson’s prominance in the science of odering tones, which music is.
Film is illustrated on the sleeves of Him, in these grand pictures, which are too, part paper sleeve and real-as agreeable sound should be shown. History, we can surmise, will be recorded and folded in to two.
There is much wisdom and beauty in this gifting of these motion pictures as cinema verite.
I believe this is Intelligent tranquil…

“Peace 2 U”(Prince)…I love you, Sir.
I got a purple suspision that lurks in my mind that these shows are gonna last all day and all night!
I dig the artwork. But does anyone else see the hidden penis in one of the pics.
the art is a trip. I like it. I HOPE HE SINGS ALL DAY ALL NIGHT since he’s been covering so many old rare tracks lately
Imo, this is the Old Prince(80’s era), TAFKAP(90′S) and the New (World) Prince (Musicology to present). The artwork is a clear depiction as to how he has and is still evolving. I went back and took a good look at the inside cover of the Musicology cd (note:Prince pic/A Million Days…similarities with the artwork). Next, I pulled out Lotusflow3r cd and played “Immersion” over and over again and again….(Bria sings the song, however you can hear Prince singing in the background. I connected the dots in this way: Senses(See, Hear, Touch, Feel and Smell), Spirituality, Knowledge , Life/Love….lots of substance in this one piece of artwork…not the artist/musician but a “man”( that name happens to be Prince) “all wrapped up” in a blanket of love 4 God and Humanity….what a “priceless gift” from God Himself. Each side is a symbol of the parts that make up the whole. Much love to you, Prince
Did my eyes just gaze @ this/these pic/pix 4 34 minut3s str8 ?!….strolling up & down & up & down….so much 2 say, yet the image/s speak 4 themselves.TOT▲ll▼.
Absolutly Fabulous !!!
Fantastic. Strong concepts that fit both the project and Prince. A lot of depth to them, which is always s bonus
Nice design and art work . The imagery captures the mind completely.
Love it. Shockalaka
The pix remind me of Sam’s artwork, but these are looser and not as refined. I’m not sure if I like them or not. My first pix would be the second one down…it doesn’t show any “skin”, which jut looks weird.
Ure always insightful Dig!! These posters are awesome, and Its almost like looking at two different versions of Prince even though they look very simular on the one poster. I wonder if this is anything to do with him being a Gemini. Funny thing is often when I draw the symbol I like to put an eye in the middle of it lol
Great work from the artist!!

Fantastic!
I love these!!!
It’s so weird but I drew something like the sun moon symbol about a month ago except what I drew was in the exact opposite where my sun came out of the moon, but mine also had 1 eye and my moon also had a silhouette.
(I love when synchronicity happens to me)
…. and I am loving these pictures!!!
Maybe one day we’ll all be of one accord, that would be so awesome!
What is “sunlight” without “darkness”…..can’t have one without the other.
Thx doc. 4 sharing as always.
What I find interesting about these pictures is that the dualities are represented perfectly balanced, but as you go further along, more of the truth is revealed. There is a mirror element to it. Even the date “11″. In numerology the number “11″‘( a master number as are all double numbers) vibrational frequency is of balance, male/female, yin/yang, moon/sun energy perceived simultaneously and yet held in perfect balance. It also represents new beginnings and purity. The number 11 also represents unparalleled spiritual awarenes and can represent a “messenger for God”. In the picture above there is a strong representation of the perfect balance of day/night, sun/moon, and a truth being revealed (as in more of the real Prince and picture being revealed as the pictures progress).
A CAMELEON – and i luv it! The EYE C’S IT ALL!
ONE SHOW’S THE HANDS’ AND THE OTHER DOES NOT.
Why isn’t the content posted on his official website, the one I paid $77 to join?
Did you see that he had one single eyelash out of place?
Capricorn is missing…and is ever so important in the coming of the days for which the ancient draws near.
Take care,

I’ve been a graphic designer for 15 now, and this, to me, seems very rushed and messy. Its inconsistent with everything else Prince has been doing in terms of graphics or design for the Lotus era.
Im really bothered by two things – the messy vector graphics of Prince’s face and the awful exposing of his hand and neck. Its seems like there no catch to that, what is it? Is it an error? Is it unfinished?
I’d give this back and say, work it out more. I wont tell you what my design idea is, I can see a great solution but I wont share it. Sorry.
But I will say this – design such as this is what happens for various reasons – the rush, last minute, emergency nature of requesting graphics. The using of any random designer or illustrator without giving them TIME to flush out a great poster. The poster can live on as a great showcase of that show.
I mean, look up some classic Miles Davis posters! They are fantastic and represent the artist and his music and vibe.
This Im afraid is having NO clear idea or even knowledge of Prince’s music. I bet I can find ideas in the Revolutions “All Day, All Night”
Put a White Fox in it!
Oh and SUPE TIRED Prince symbol and ear wrap.
I mean, can we move on! Please! Update the symbol and toss that ear wrap.
Man.
Over the years the looks of a brother fade, if you’ve not noted, over the years the “graphics” (pictures) have become less real and more reel for a “feel” but the deal is the heals are showing the leather cracks. It’s wack but then again look at what the graphical representation is trying to present.
Sometimes Prince’s sad slide makes me want to hide my eyes because his everXpanding FAILURE makes me want to cry.
Sigh.
I feel so enriched now!! I love you Prince
Negativity find a “hiding” place and stay there 4ever. Positive criticism is a good thing, however 2 inject Failure and the comparing of Miles Davis posters is “unfair”. There is something uniquely different about each design that we will never know, primarly because Prince is “symbolically special” himself….give onself to the “unknown” and say What’s My Name?
Iám so sad we want 2 go 2 paris….but there was no way ….2 buy tickets…
We wait here in germany 7 years since one nite alone tour….
Prince come on….lets do something….in cologne or…oberhausen…
We are waiting….4 ya…..so long…..

What album was all day, all night from?
I’ve never heard it before.
Aparently, The Work, Vol. 2. I read it was an outake and possibly on an album entitled “Hot Chocolate”. Don’t quote me, internet info -google.
playlist forthe 2nd show would be :
1999
Controversy
Sexy dancer
Le freak
All day all night(variation)
Why u wanna treat me so bad
Take me with u
Guitar
Raspberry beret
All day all night ( dirty funk with gospel vibe : mean )
I could never take
The one u wanna see
Sometimes it snows in April
Mountains
Everyday people
Take me higher
Without love
Purple rain
Kiss mashed up with Miss u
Honkytonk woman
All the critics love u in Paris ( tight long version)
Freaks on this side
Love bizzarre
As for the ALl Day ALL NIGHT : that song comes from the JILL JONES album ( along with tracks such as MIA BOCCA & For Love )
the whole concert evolved around this song that was used as an insert communicate with the audience and climaxed at mid show into a dirty tight funk beat with gospel singinf from both prince and the 3 back up singers : SURREAL , Creative and Vicious
now that i’ve seen both , one could argue that the 1rst one was a big rehearsal ( lots of soundeck ; at some point Prince told the audience : “the soundman guy is french you should tell him better ” but prince was was more laid back and spontaneous ( he played more tracks like Uptown , girl, cool and Party man )
anyway , Prince took Paris in Storm and he nailed it again big time
to be continued …..
THANKS – SAMIR99 – FATASTICO!
Prince grew a little more hair under the lip at nite i c!
A dream huh Samir99?
It’s Masonic.
