WBGs look great stacked! This was my old apartment:

Hey everyone! It has been a while, still lurk quite often, but kind of got sucked in to vinyl records the past year+.

So anyway, I have come to a point in my life where I still regret (which is rare because I try to live life with no regrets) to this day not picking up any of the original works that someone was selling 2ish years ago on the forums. There was a claw in particular that I remember and some that involved lettering and other miscellaneous works. Needless to say I would wholeheartedly paypal someone some money just for letting me know if something like this or similar happens again. I do my best to frequent everything, but hey I have been slammed busy with work over the past year+. Spent 6 months working out of a hotel south of Chicago and working 110hrs/week.

Regardless any information, friendliness, spitting in my face, telling me snooze you lose, etc etc are all welcomed.

Hopefully the time will come in my life for me to be the proud and faithful owner of one. Maybe the next time I meet Aaron, if ever, I will have the courage to talk with him some more about this. I know he has always been close with his originals and that is his preference, but still they float around ever so rarely.

ALSO a big, huge, insane, gargantuan, congratulations to those fine gents in this thread. The guy who got the painted WBG are stunning and remind me of the painted Nesting that I have dreams about every so often.

Sorry for rambling, miss this community. Will try to start posting and being more involved, but it is hard (and I really have a lot of items I need to frame so I try to limit the amount I get on here which equals my little will power to not buy more) to get back in the groove.

Aaron Horkey very rarely sees the light of day. He's a little over 7 feet tall and speaks in his own language. Some people claim to have met him, but it's really someone else pretending to be him.

All facts and good luck with your hunt

Hi appletree. I, for one, have missed your posts. You have good taste...but that goes without saying, given that you are posting in this thread. :D

Yeah, welcome back man. Hang out with us more.
Believe me my friend, I've kicked myself in the ass on more than one occasion for passing up on those sketches that you're referring too.

I just spent an hour going back through this thread. Thanks everyone for posting pics.

Just wondering if there are any of the retrospective letterpress suites that got the treatment? A little graphite on the very contrasting prints would be :drool:

Good question. I've never seen any but I bet it would look great.
