Have you had an official tip off on that then A.M?

Shepard is a habitual DIYer and everything he does-- donations of artwork, donations of services, even the creation of images used as collage material in fine art pieces-- is eventually made to pay for itself, usually through the adoration purchases of a small subset of the total print run by we hardcore OG fans.

No tips, just following the logic flow.

I'm just afraid that if we let them get married they're gonna start reproducing.

"Chapman is trying to rewrite the book on shark sex, often a brutal affair that involves biting with sharp teeth and sometimes death." Sounds like something out of Angela Jolie's playbook.

The way the OG mainpage blurb about this is laid out, the line "I will be making a poster of the image below" with the video set below it, makes it sound like Shep's going to make an image of Keith Olbermann.

maybe olbermann will be the new obama

And that includes web store checkout processing.

jk. but, i think its time to start a petition to upgrade their checkout process. He posted the $10/print increase was to cover upgrades. So what happened?

I've been successful in buying 100% of the time, but the time involved from when it goes up to when it sells out is out of hand. How can MoveOn.org sell 5000 prints in 24 minutes, but OG can't sell 355 prints in the same time.

I, for one, was not trying to buy from MoveOn.org... But I *do* try at OG... Think there are others like me?

I Agree

Yet Prop 8 discriminates because it provides that gays and lesbians, alone among consenting adult couples, shall not have the opportunity to enjoy the rights, privileges and social approbation conferred by the status of lawful marriage.

Well said, sir.

Let's keep the political discussion in the appropriate sub-forum.

Unless they're gay Californians.

Take it somewhere else please.

As I mentioned earlier, I'd rather not hear about your beliefs in the prints forum...puts me in a bad mood.

^ some were given out at rallies, no?

Shep truly believes that Obama is Pro Gay Marriage but throughout the election he would not say that in order to not scare some of the middle votes. Thats just what he believes and it does make sense.

I completely agree.

The Love Unites poster will go on Sale, Friday, 11/21 at a random time. This print aims to raise awareness and funds for the movement to overturn Prop. 8. Any person suspected of EBAYing this print will be automatically banned from OBEYGIANT.com. No Exceptions.

defend equality

11/20 - UPDATE!!!

THIS SATURDAY, Nov. 22nd there is a rally at Hollywood and Highland to overturn Prop 8. The rally starts at 2pm. Anyone who believes in equality and human dignity should be appalled that Prop. 8 passed. Here is a link to a great Keith Olbermann special commentary on the issue and I could not agree more with him.

Unless I stumble upon a completely random drop, I have serious issues getting through as well.

I hear ya. I hate harping on them, but it has gotten much worse. but then again, if it worked it would be like banksy release. sneeze and it is gone.

I have several plans tomorrow, so I doubt I'll be able to get it. But, if I happen to be online when it drops, I will definitely try.

I'm not buying this print because I am totally against Human Dignity [/sarcasm]
