Prolly 350 each colorway.
When there are other colorways released usually the run size drops, like ed. of 300 each print when there are 2 colorways. I'll go ahead and estimate ed. 200 per print this round.
Im gonna agree and guess 200 each (but I wouldnt be shocked if they up'd it to 250).

I do like patterns and repetition but these are a
bit too ornamental for me.

good luck all!

I take it you haven't got kids carbomb! Trust me ,you get plenty of "gritty"

He is saying that Shepard is being inundated with parenthood and riches. Therefore, he is not as “gritty” as the Shepard who perhaps was living a more modest streetwise life of yesteryear.

And I'm saying that parenthood and riches hasn't made shepard fairey less "gritty". I know whats being compared, I think:
this sort of thing

compared to this sort of thing

Saying shepard fairey should go back to the kind of prints he used to do is counterintuitive. There's no good reason why shepard fairey should use the formula he knows works (russian propaganda) when he has the opportunity to explore new aesthetic avenues. The prints aren't everyones favorites each release, but its pretty obvious that the dude has some idea about where his work is going; it's pretty weak to disrespect him by saying he's no longer "streetwise" just because he's made a shitload of money and has been blessed with a family.

He must have been drunk when he wrote this.
Is he referring to Shepard's needs? Or did he mean Shepard's knees?
