The Giant

Curious to know how some of you will be framing these? I read earlier in the thread that these will eventually curl if you float them.

If I avoid a refund, mine will be framed with a mat.
I love how deckled edges look, but I'm not a fan of floating artwork.
Hate the idea of anything attached to the paper.

just got back, sold out. oh well, any word of any future letter press prints?

Toughest drop I can remeber. Anyone have buyers remorse. I can do $250 right now......

Did anyone else have problems with the final confirm button. I clicked it but was redirected to a 3rd party site, very Spamish.

I think it would be cool to sandwich this between two mats and frame between two panes of glass. Then you could flip it at will. (no pun intended)

Congrats to those who scored! Back to work, minions.

They still don't care about the folks flipping either! What a shame...

100% false

Congrats to those who scored who plan on keeping it. As for the flippers, try not to make me pay too much. Heres to hoping we see more letterpress prints in the future!

done after the fact by hand embossing stamp. Similar to the way pow or modern multiples would do it.
there is a picture of it on instragram. and it looks like JRF himself is the one doing the stamping.

Anyone?? I found this problem to be worrisome. Ive never encountered it before from the OBEY ordering system.

That's odd, what was the 3rd party site?

I had to go digging through my browsing history to find it. I was too busy trying to score the print to screenshot/copy it earlier.

Wow, no. Never have seen that. My work network won't even open that link (spam).

Yeah, Im totally bummed. The spam link prevented me from scoring todays print. I reloaded the submit page a few times getting redirected to the Spam site each time. When it finally worked the print was sold out.

This is a false statement!

Really...and how is that? Where's the proof bud? Any & every drop you see the bay flooded with prints from folks just looking to make a quick buck!

Shep keeps print prices low to enable people without much money to collect/enjoy some of his work. Flipping is the unavoidable other side of that coin.

It doesn't mean Shep doesn't care about flipping ... He just cares more about pricing low enough to allow some of the 99% to buy his art on occasion.

It would be difficult to give you proof, bud. But, all I can say is, trust me.
Just because some fall through the cracks, doesn't mean they don't have means in place to help stop this practice.
There is NO way they could ever stop every person from flipping right after purchase.


love, Bud.

exactly. they definitely do care about people flipping but there's only so much anyone can do about it.

the one thing we know is 100% fact is that no matter if they got rid of the flippers or fixed the cart there will ALWAYS be complainers. complaining about the cart/flipping is starting to become more annoying than how things currently are.

The confirm info page always thinks I'm a Ms. What da hell man.

Frankly, I can't remember the last time a heavily anticipated / super sexy print dropped over at obey that didn't create a thread in here about flippers and effed shoping carts.

Surprising there's really not that many on flea bay. People must truly love this print! I scored driving with 3G! Can't believe it!!

That’s how the OGs do it when they miss out, no whining.
