I was thinking they were created before the price increase.

Every list that went out was different. The initial list that went out was a spread sheet. A couple days later they sent out a list with pics. If anybody needs to fund their recent purchases, I am your buyer, shoot me a PM with details.

Something I've always wondered about the screenprints on metal...are they sealed so that they won't age/corrode?

Anyways, I picked up the Green Power HPM. I'm excited to finally have a fine art piece!

Metals are sometimes not perfect, some can even have stains when you check them from different angles and with light, but if I remember well they say that its normal and its part of the piece if they are not perfect and they can change with time.

Congrats on the HPM! I am so excited too I got to score a piece on wood (Paint it black).

Cannot wait for pictures now to see them in detail...

The metal editions are NOT sealed. The inks used are water based, The metal used is aluminum, a material that is naturally corrosion-resistant.

Feel the same. Was excited to pick up my first fine art piece but only received the second price list and feel like I would be settling.

Just got back from the preview. Plenty of pieces left with great images for those of you who still want one. Overall it's a great show and Shepard's mural and works in the alley are awesome!

I went to the show during its opening. It was my first experience with seeing his art in person. I brought my Supply and Demand book to get signed - however - after being there from 6-8:45pm and he had yet to arrive, I left. I saw he arrived shortly before the exhibit closed and went into the DJ booth to entertain the guests. I loved the show though - lots of artwork inside the gallery and then 4-5 murals were in an alley behind the exhibit. I had a great time. Long line waiting to get prints. I didn't get in line because there was no indication on price. They were also selling the Mayday book. I heard both prints and the book were going for $45/piece.
