So basically the Obey site will be down all day starting at 10am and going until the print is actually released?

I don't see how this is any different than dropping it at a set time. People sat around for an INSANE amount of time on Tuesday hitting F5, they'll just do the same tomorrow.

Put on the Rolling Stones "Far Away Eyes" and sing along children

I was blogging home early wednesday morning through los angeles
Buyin' ink and paper on the obey giant station
And the preacher said, you know you always have the
Lord by your side

And I was so pleased to be informed of this, that I loaded
Twenty red and black bombers in his name
Thank you jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to buy a print, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time it went off, it be gone
It be gone with the nearest collector she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was, sittin on the flat screen
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a bomber in three, co-lor-ways

So if youre down on your luck
And paypal dont materialize
Find a bomber in three co lor ways
And if youre downright disgusted
And the website aint worth a dime
Get a bomber, in three colorways

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Forty eight dollars through paypal and the sacred bleeding heart of obey
Located somewhere in los angeles, california
And next week, theyd send me a print for my donation
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next day, I got screwed for bomber
Well, you know what kind of colorway i got

So if youre down on your luck
I know you backdoors will sympathize
Find a bomber, with three colorways
And if youre locked out, n disgusted
This thursday, dont waste your time
Get a bomber, on ebay for a dime!!! :D

I really do want to send an e-mail, but it's really hard to think of a way to say anything with respect after this. It's just seems really rediculous. I'm glad I collect from many great artists, and I'm not just a big fan of Shep like some of the people here. I like a lot of his work, but I'm just as happy having Dan McCarthy or Daniel Danger on my wall. And, they've never insulted me like this. It took me seven hours to "illicitly" use those links to obtain prints, and there was no other option, and when we did get feedback from OG it had nothing to do with the option we were using. It's absolutely crazy, the "true fan" comment was a really low blow, and I think I'm done ranting now.

Oh, but I still haven't gotten a refund or on e-mail. I guess us single order people will be tomorrow.

ADD: Nah, I wasn't done: I have a Obey stuck straight on my durn wall, totally destorying its value, but you know, I might, just might, have bought the durn thing to look at, and that's all I think a person should have to do to be considered a real fan, in my book anyway.

When did this start happening? Wait... who are you talking about. OG is banning people for complaining?

I know it is not us because we have only ever banned 2 people. Both for repeat raciest remarks.

This thing is even funnier than when he called people war profiteers for selling their Darfur prints. I love this guy, if he were just making art and not running his business like a clown college, I would most likely be able to hop on, purchase a print, and receive it quickly and safely - how boring.

Instead, I have to act like a functional drunk sneaking a drinky at work because I can't let anybody see me try to order; getting a print is like trying to figure out a Chinese puzzle box; and the guy that I fight to send my money to every week surfaces from time to time to call me names.

God Bless America.

Notice this Jason guy and OG claimed the print was "NEVER RELEASED" then in Jasons last message he says "RERELEASED". These Dbags have no idea wtf is going on so they just want to point fingers. Making the TRUE FANS the scapegoat for their incompetence. yay

there were a ton of new members in the peace bomber thread. it's nice to see shepard's popularity grow but at the same time i have some questions about the new people" 1) are they just looking to make a quick buck 2) are they going to participate in non new print release topics
