Yes, I picked up the foil art print. That's weird, I could have bought another after I bought mine. They were up for a good 5-8 minutes for me. I have never owned a foil print aside from DuBois FTW so that's why I grabbed that version. It is also my first fill size Eads screen print. I picked up the Mushroom set 1 and the Starry Night Cap a couple weeks ago but those were giclees, still good. I didn't notice the smilie faces on all the shrooms in the jpegs so that bummed me a little because I don't think they are needed, but I still like them.

It may be harder not to confuse them than it is to. I actually like Eads stuff for the most part but feel like these are kinda weak. Is it a series or something?

The Gorge one was a private commission, and he is branching out with a series. Note the band alignment (dmb)

But what I don't get, is how one can write "gorge amphitheater" on a print without it being official?

The entire series is a private commission. That's why they are being sold through a different website. From what I understand they reached out specifically for the Gorge, but said from the beginning that if it went well they wanted to do more.

I'm falling in love with James' work. It's amazing. Big and Lil King Caps are amazing. I was lucky enough to get both(scored the little one on the drop, and got someone's slightly damaged one for $30). I love the big one, but I simply don't have enough wall space so I had to give it up. But the small one will definitely be making the wall. One of his best prints to date. Now who's got my Finding Alakazoo?

Also own Orpheus in Love along with a few others. How in the world is Orpheus not sold out? Definitely one of my favorites by him. Hoping as his fan base grows, he moves to screen printing. But giclees are fine with me when they look as crisp as his work.
