Heads up, Secret Serpents added a bunch of sold out posters to their store, including Altamont Tour 2010, Sleepy Sun Brooklyn 2012, Tomahawk Amsterdam 2013, Melvins/Unsane 2012, Swans Los Angeles 2015 (blue version), etc. Some sold out already.

Whiffed on the two I (and everyone) wanted, but still some very nice ones left.

ps what's up with the unsigned/unnumbered editions?

I got five that I've been desperately searching for...feel both happy and actually exhausted... it feels kind of suiting for me that this haul was launched in such close proximity to the demise of gigposters.com, Walsh was one of the artist I found over there who brought me into this world, and man, now I've assembled close to all of my favorite Walsh posters. Though I hope there's many more to come. And yeah, I totally agree that there's some very nice ones left...so jump at it people!

Isn't pretty much all of his editions unsigned/unnumbered? Could it be because he outsources printing?

Apparently it was one or two of Walsh's personal copies that went on sale.

Wow, this guy's got some pretty awesome stuff. Don't really have the cash to swing atm though, sadly.

That Melvins/Unsane Milwaukee poster continues to elude me.... one day.

Thanks for the sig/# info. Appears at least one of the Swans LA was signed, not numbered?
I feel like we may have talked about this generally somewhere... do we know the run sizes?

Anyhow- these posters rule.

The only signed Swans LA I've seen was signed by the performer, other than that I only got three of my Walsh posters signed, and one was on the back.

Yeah there's some comments about it in this thread, if I understand it correctly even Secret Serpents don't know about edition size if its not stated.

Most of his editions are around 50 (total) - that number includes show copies and the few that we end up selling.
