Re: Ministry of Information -Behind the scenes of Obey!
Time to clear the tumble weeds from this thread!!
Life gets busy and hobbies such as this thread end up getting pushed aside. A fan has asked to give something away to 12 lucky fans. In the coming days, the information will be posted.
The way we share information is changing slightly which is also to blame the drought of information. With over 200,000 fans on Facebook, the lack of genuine fan interaction also got me bummed out. So I am really hoping that this thread gets back to its main intention, sharing and interacting with the most dedicated and loyal fans!
I would expect to see many more exclusive photos and contests posted here before you see them on Facebook. So, please understand that you might see a photo here, and a few days or a week later a certain photo may pop up on our Facebook.
So lets get this started.
First up the holiday print, edition of 425 in all its glory. Once I know how many we have left, I would like to figure out a way to get some in the hands of fans.
The blind tube experiment was an epic failure. I went through almost 30 tubes today and virtually all were offsets, which is probably why it was easier for the buyer to abandon the tube than pay tax or customs. So don't expect any blind tube sale anytime soon. I had really hoped to find some epic prints but no such luck!
Often overlooked, but Shepard has an incredible collection of reference material. There are always stacks of books on the floor and around his desk.
The sticker tells you how long this has been around. Who knows how many color choices from your favorite prints have been chosen from this deck:
Next I dropped by the Deuce to take a few photos for you:
Happy New Years everyone!

Absolutely happy that you are back too! Thanks for the update and I think I can say we are all looking forward to more contests. Too bad about the mystery tubes, kind of like Geraldo and Capone's vault(showing my age)

Thanks for the update. The dove is so much cooler as a monotone piece. Rarely do I like the metal better, but that is awesome!

From Shepard " The frankfurter ART sticker was designed by Kinsey and printed on one of my [sticker]runs as a response to a vigilante citizen's group making a big stink about stickers and posters in San Diego. They were doing a PR campaign and that was Kinsey's return volley. Kind of funny".

thanks

oh my goodness. I LOVE the Peace Elephant. Hopefully this is the one that I can actually aquire. ever since the first edition never appeared for me i have been haunted by it. That Peace Dove on metal is out of control too. Thanks OM for giving me something else to long for.
Re: Ministry of Information -Behind the scenes of Obey!
Thanks for the update O and for sure (like everyone else) that elephant is SICK and certainly an ISO
