+1 Before Variant.
Wow, still available 25 minutes after drop. Frankly, I'm shocked.

Multiple Black Friday print drops, existing Drake print and non standard print dimensions are key factors.
Plus its not an OMG Mondo drop.

Agreed, but personally, I think the "before" might be my favorite Drake print.rubberneck wrote:Multiple Black Friday print drops, existing Drake print and non standard print dimensions are key factors.

It looks like the matching sets have just sold out.

If its anything like the Alaska prints, should be a looker...Benelli wrote:+1 on the set.
going to frame the two floated together in the same frame which will match the frames on my Mondo O-ren and Beatrix variant.
Should be hawt...

Hey Benelli, that frame up idea sounds awesome, can't wait to see it once it's done.
I think this is the better of the two. I picked up the set. How are you framing this?

Just got mine today and unrolled it and the artwork is beautiful. Probably my favorite of Drakes, but I'm a little flabbergasted on how to frame it, which is a little distressing.
The paper is 36 x 18, but the printed image is 36 x 13. There is a 2.5" white border on top and bottom with a full bleed edge on the left and right side. The number is at the far lower right corner at the bottom of the white.
How the hell do you mat that? If you mat it to show the number you have two huge white "letterbox" bars on the top and bottom with no white on the left or right side. If you mat over the printed edges, you cover the numbers and your mats have to be at least 2.75 inches on each side, unless you cut the paper, which is a sin for such a beautiful piece.
I really think the only option is to cut it, do a custom frame and plan on keeping it forever, which i planned to anyways, but the thought of cutting a perfectly good print is depressing.
