For example: I think Sowers is so stunning partially because the OG was HUGE so when you shrink it down to print size the detail looks amazingly sharp. Totem, not so much. It has nothing to do with the actual printing. Also, the paper plays a major factor too. I assume Totem & Weaving have the same paper???

Totem would have been scaled down as well , I'm not saying they are bad by any means , but not as good as the other 8 x 10's

I was talking about a little bit of both
What was the size of the Sowers OG? Shrinking an image down from 18x24 to 8x10 should allow the detail on that to be pretty damn sharp if it was there in the first place
The paper on weaving and totem seems the same to me, but may not be

Sowers OG - 40x120"

Totem II OG 18x24"
Weaving OG 18x24"
Sowing OG 30x40" (This is the one that comes with the DBS Book)
Evacuation OG 30x40"

This probably helps explain why Evacuation looks "better"...



also, I feel like a huge nerd right now. :oops:

Thanks for that quick reference. I'll try to track it down....

I like the the entire idea of Keyes continuing these Tiny Showcase prints - keeps his work accessible to collectors who might otherwise miss out on the pricier larger-format editions, and a great chunk of cash goes to worthy causes.

Win Win.
