Another lackluster print. All it's missing is an oil well.

The tear marks on her forehead are shaped kind of like oil derricks.

I will buy one.

The image is great, but it works better as a cover than a print, IMO.

Just my personal opinion, but I feel like this print would have been way cooler without the image of the woman/tear.

Just the target and GW.

i like the idea....was wondering if media was ever going to be addressed given the soft a lot of outlets go on stories in favor of clickbait...i'm sure you guys have seen John Oliver's piece on journalism recently.
But this for me falls kind of flat. The tears were distracting for me...the headline is too vaguey without really even representing anything...i'm not sure why the woman is even in the image. Also not sure I like the colorway...Would really like to see a tight print on media one day. Someone get on it.

and now that I've seen a smaller jpeg of it on FB, i've noticed that one eye has been raised to be seen better past the tear. I can't be the only one who sees that...

That is strange. It also seems to really wide to the right in relation to the other eyes proximity to the nose. Still I think this is one of the better ones in a while.

The Left eye, on the right side of the print, was always higher than the other eye. That was the first thing I noticed when the print was announced. The two main eyes on the woman's face look like they are from two different faces. Different sizes, not even and even the eyebrows look different.

The one I'm looking at from Facebook is identical to the one posted above.

not to be misunderstood...i didn't mean it had been changed since first posted here, just that I had only noticed it upon seeing a smaller version of it on FB. I think on the larger jpeg on this thread I was trying to consume the rest of the image and the eyes escaped me.

Gotcha.

I like the overall concept of the design but those eyes not lining up might be the breaking point for me. Funny that you, and I assume others, haven't noticed it or are not bothered by it. Since it's kind of a portrait image, the first thing my eyes automatically went were her eyes, like making eye contact with someone you are looking at. It would be one thing if the entire left side of the face was shifted up, including the hairline, but the only thing shifted and changed is the eye.

I picked up a print. I liked it. And those Kardashian eyes are just sultry. Cheesy I know.
