Looks fake to me.. what do you think?
I could be totally wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen a Fairey print marked PP instead of AP.. also the silk screen is off center and the sig looks a little wonky. Whaddya think?

Would never drop anything close to that amount of money without full authentication.
Re: Looks fake to me.. what do you think?
My untrained eye and uneducated mind say it is real. $10k for an off centered iteration is a bit much for me though.

Re: Looks fake to me.. what do you think?
I wouldn't either.. it just looked questionable to me, and I wondered what the experts thought. If it's fake, it would be the first fine art obey fake I've seen. I was thinking maybe it was a test print that somebody doctored. But maybe it's legit, I don't know.

It looks like a Printers Proof (PP). Basically its a test print and is off center. I cant say real or fake with out seeing the back, sides and more detail

Re: Looks fake to me.. what do you think?
i wasn't asking if they were "legit," i know they aren't, i'm curious to know what their story is... are they pasters that someone glued to a board? are they test prints that someone acquired while dumpster diving? are they obey clothing pos promo items?darwin wrote:Feedback of 86.7% should tell you all you need to knowconartstudio wrote:O, what's the story on these:TheOmethod wrote:It looks like a Printers Proof (PP).

Re: Looks fake to me.. what do you think?
This thing's been around the block a few times. In fact, as soon as you said 'off center' and 'pp', I knew exactly what piece you were talking about. It is real, was once owned by a good friend of mine, and I believe came from a charity auction in '08 or '09.unioneighteen wrote:I could be totally wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen a Fairey print marked PP instead of AP.. also the silk screen is off center and the sig looks a little wonky.

That said, I've seen it in person and it is FUGLY. Bad centering aside (and it is very, very bad), it has little pin-hole looking chips in the border and just isn't pretty.

Re: Looks fake to me.. what do you think?
Regarding PP — I own a legit Fairey print that's marked as PP, so I've seen that before. The piece looks real to me, I own a piece on wood and the technique is basically identical. I think the fact it's off-center makes it annoying to look at. I wouldn't part with any amount of cash for it.

Re: Looks fake to me.. what do you think?
I believe there was one on wood that was also off-centered
