i don't see mccarthy in there, but those wires are certainly a wee bit hecoxesque.

i wasn't sure i'd like war is over before i got it, but it looks better in person than i expected and i'd think the same would be true for this one. may have to sit out the next couple of prints though.

I think this direction as with the last one is way too illustrator-happy.

At this point, I think any print with a stenciled look would be very welcome to a lot of people.

agree
Also need to note - that last post was recorded & archived by big brother, there is also a videotape - not to mention the two guys in a tower watching me. In addition, due to the content, an Apache helicopter is on the way to hit me with a couple of Hydra 70 Rockets.


kidding aside - its a great thought provoking print - as much of this is sadly true.

I like it but one thing throws me off a little. The light or camera pole thats lighter grey weirds me out a lil. Still a nice one tho.

I think that is just a mistake on the preview.

Pretty sure. That gray would require an extra color unless he added a halftone pattern there. Which doesn't seem likely for one design element.

There were a couple grey elements that should be black on the Led Zeppelin cover, too (the stuff added to the bottom of the blimp). It's just a goof, if it's not, that Zep cover is going to be a BIG mistake.

Sorry for waxing the opins. Like I said before Whiskey, Ale, and Wine don't mix with computers.
