I find it interesting that no-one has posted a pic of the 60 foot tall image of this that is supposed to be on the Henry Fonda theater in Hollywood. Anyone out there in LA with a camera? I'd like to see it. I Googled, but came up empty.

And DunDun, I am in Atlanta, but only for school. I am from the West Coast, born and raised in the Bay. And all my friends hate Kobe and the Lakers too.

Unless I view it as him lumping Kobe with Stalin, Mao, etc...
Then it fits.
Kobe is a narcissistic sociopath.

Hey Gigantico, it appears these codes no longer work. Are there any others you know of?

IMO I think this print is sick, just pricey.

The Lakers lost! Yet they feel the need to baby Kobe like a spoiled only child. Too funny.

In order to use them, you must register. And, if you did register, you would have received a code in your confimation email for 20% off.

god forbid i point out a flaw in a print/art and give the impression that this place is about prints and art. how dare i point out that the eyes look weird, especially when no one else here every points anything like that out.

HAHA you got proven wrong AGAIN! He actually looks like that. You've gotta admit you're THE biggest hater on this board. There's always something wrong with something IYO. Kinda funny too that you admit the print is nicely done yet it still has flaws?

I'm kinda annoyed I didn't pick up the MVP print now. First print I would've bought strictly for investment purposes.

LOL, that caught my attention right away.

I venture to guess that this prints cache will benefit from the sports collecting crowd more than by art/shep fans.

Anyone notice that Kobe's autograph is worth roughly $600-700. $350 for Shepard sig on the KOBE or MVP still kinda steep...

Dope, they just posted unsigned ones.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm feeling. Nice, great for exposing Shepard Fairey to an even wider demographic (in conjunction with the Obama prints).

Of course, it's Upper Deck that likely had everything to do with the final pricing.

[EDIT: I ran into him at the gym I go to here in Minneapolis once, with his two trainers helping him. Was polite, his trainers were jerks.]
