This print almost made my head explode.

I like the red better.

I'm surprised by the positive reaction. Is nobody else bothered by the fact there are a woman's hands but no woman? Or the relaxed arms of the man/grenade in the suit? Just seems to be missing something.

I figured it was a woman and she was doing the self hug thing.

Weird print. I'm sure there's a message here, but I'm missing it completely. Then again, I never got the Dolk print either.

Always like grenade imagery. Though the woman's hand thing is now a bit odd. Undecided so far

Liking this, although I'm easy-Shep+ weapons=I'masucka. Women love men that have explosive heads(not all just the drama chasers) so this makes total sense to me.

I wonder if it's a comment on our cultural embrace of violence. Strength is sexy, might makes right. If love is a drug, we are drunk with power that is enabled through our weapons and willingness to use them.

All three elements seem just thrown together. There is something awkward about it. Why have the lettering too? I the the message is clear enough. It reminds me of Dolk's Grenade Lovers too much. GL to all who goes for it!

I think I'd like this more if one of the hands were trying to pull the grenade pin.

I like the red.

Seems like the suit represents Wall Street, the grenade head represents the danger of their ideas and the woman draping her arms around him represents how in love/subservient America has become towards these dangerous greed heads.

+1...that said I will go for the red and while I'll be horribly disappointed in the Obey site when it dies, I won't be horribly disappointed when I don't score.

I'll be going for both, but really would like to get a hold of a gold of the two.
