No refund yet, that was in response to using the name of the place. Keeping it on the DL makes it a little easier.

Everyone probably knows anyhow.

had 2 in my cart, but successfully removed one and checked out, timestamped waaay late at 5:13:48. expecting a refund.
it seems to me that to call an achieved work 'good art' and an unachieved work 'bad art,' is like calling one color 'good red' and another 'bad red' when the second one is green.

My guess is: because it's a bootleg hi-res printout.

the fabled test run that was rejected perhaps? got this from a black label skater - the big difference i see is at the ends of the background rays.

Aside from the ends of the rays, I like this version better. On the numbered version, the gold halo effect around the flower almost seems greenish to me. I don't see that on this one.

good call - that gold layer actually extends throughout the rays on the original - it just isn't present here so the rays have more of the paper showing through them.
