That's quite a series of work. I would love to see a few of them as canvas prints such as "Lonesome", "Going", "And Gone".

The screenprints for this series WILL be made from photos of the finished paintings, so much of the texture/collage/surface detail seen in the above pics will be present.

This series looks great. Is it just me or does the "does she look down" print have a striking resemblance to David Beckham?

Maybe Jason and Omethod can share the duties on the Ministry of Info thread.
No pressure.

Interesting. He does. Although, when I first saw it, I thought Mike Patton.

Yep , I thought that too when i first saw it ....

It wouldnt surprise me at all if they move in the same circles , what with Steve Jones of the Pistols playing football for Hollywood Utd ..etc etc...

12 prints of $45 = $540 ?? or more or less ?

My guess is it would be more in the $60 range, so around $720.

With all of the special packaging and extras (already mention of a "lyric print"), the Perry Rubenstein influence, and in light of how big the collaboration is, this set will not be under $1K. My guess.

Agreed. I am going with a $1200 price tag. Not sure if that would be worth it. Have to wait and see everything that is in the box. However, after seeing the album cover box sets and how awesome those were, $1200 might be totally worth it.
