Seems a little pricey but worth it considering he doesn't put many prints out.
Plus it's a great image.

Agree with most all of that. I just simply can't afford that, and it's freaking massive. IMO an edition of 75-100 would have been more appropriate for that price but Studiocromie always prices stuff high. Oh well.

Has anyone here ever ordered off of studiocromie?
I ordered a print from them almost a couple of weeks ago and have tried to contact
them a couple of times about shipping but have not heard back.

Thanks for that info.
I looked at their FAQ and they had this:
"
q: hello i've never received the book i've ordered three weeks ago

a: your book is being used as a seat from the kids at poste italiane, no worries, it will get there, if it doesnt show up in another week, write me an email, ill do my best to send you another copy asap

Nice choice if you did!

That's funny, and sadly true. One of the countries I don't ship to anymore for my business is Italy because their postal system is really bad. Studio Cromie have been around for a while and are pretty active on the Banksy board so I doubt you have anything to worry about.

I ordered a JR print. It took at least a month and a half to get to me, but it did safe and sound.

and the finished piece:

it's pretty amazing that the piece is done next to the border with EU, where tons of people are lining up daily in order to get across, buy some EU goods, or even search for better life.. smart, provoking, direct, and striking.. street art at its best!

Italian street artist Blu recently did this little mural in small italian town of Niscemi, where United States Department of Defense are building an array of satellites against the will of local people living there.. the mural is a modified version of typical Italian "No Parking" sign that people usually put in front of their houses, driveways, etc:
