Anyone ever figure out what the "eye" billboard meant?

I mentioned it before but I look at it and read: "Your Eyes/Focus/Attention Here." Like, it doesn't matter what's on the billboard, just look at it and be told (Obey).

So sorry if this comes across as a stupid question, but this is only my second time buying prints straight from Obey's website. The first time was Duality 2. I've mainly just bought Kinseys prints before. I was just wondering how long it typically takes to get your email confirmation for shipping. For Duality 2 it only took me three days, but for these it's been longer.

Thanks

You have to figure that there were two prints offered. So i would say all delivery confirmations should go out by friday.

I haven't gotten a shipping notification yet, nor a refund for a dupe charge... sigh.

I agree. More along the lines of how Gigantico is interpreting it.

I just got the Eye and I'm digging it. Flame if you must, but, this one would make it to the wall before the Duality prints, in my house. I like the bold, solid colors combined with a lot of open space and a beautiful pattern. Add in the obscure message and this print is a winner, and something I haven't seen in awhile from the Obey factory.

The prints are very clean. Crisp sharp edges.

I can see where you are coming from.
I don't care for Duality 1 and my wife hates Duality 2 so I am trading mine.
(hit me up with offers of TRADES ONLY)
I am really looking forward to my PE print to come in the mail.

Thing with Duality 1 is its one of them prints you gotta step back from to appreciate it. The problem with duality 2 is you gotta step back from it to not notice the durn mistakes! :))
