Looks like Good Side is off the site. After todays nightmare I'm glad I picked these up with no stress. I bet the next fine art piece will sell out same day.

Nothing left but the retro series. I finally broke down and bought Obey '99 today. It is one of my favorite all time images, and I had been checking the site just waiting for it to sell out. I'm telling myself I will sell some of my other pieces to pay for it, but we'll see if that actually happens.

does anybody know what the quality of these prints? same as the Good and Bad Sides on cotton rag? did Modern Multiples do these? wish i was able to track down some high-res shots of what these looked like in person. i might be wiling to pull the trigger if i could get a better idea of the quality/appearance.

any help would be appreciated.

I believe modern multiples does most if not all of Obeys large format fine art printing.

The Two Sides of Capitalism Bad and Good show a print size of 40" x 44" on the wikipedia portion of this site. I used this to get a quote for framing, but thought the size seemed wrong. It is actually 30" x 49" when I measured. How do you change the size on the wiki portion of the website to the correct size?

Since I've missed out on the last couple of print releases I have some money which is stashed away awaiting a new release of Fine Art.
Any idea of how often these get released and of what they might be?

Maybe an insider knows what is coming, but for the most part, there is no scheduled release schedule for the fine art prints like the 18x24 releases.

Lets hope they do release a couple more fine art prints for the fans like me who have been left empty handed week after week. I got extra $$ and would love to get a new fine art piece.

do share some pics when you get a chance !cos the images on OG really bear little relationship to theprints
a big beast to frame though

Thank God "Good and Bad" finally sold out.
I bought them the week they came out, and couldn't believe as they just sat around the site.
They look stunning in person, and I would agree that they will be the Definitive piece from Shep during this era.

Now, I just need to get them framed.
