that one is a little before my time, but certainly is a very cool image. I really dig a couple of the Zeppelins too.

These aren't just unauthorized rip-offs from a guy that can't spell?

So, in looking at that 2008 thread, I know jojo and lightyears and boatingbenny were in the fray when the skull test prints went up for ~$1k. What's been the scoop between then and now, guys? Have any traded or sold? Have they stayed "pure" for 3.5 years? I don't know how I totally missed that drop, so you'll understand that I'm coming from a different place than y'all when 11 more quantity are added to the world supply of this offering, especially at such a relatively attractive price.

funny, i bought that too before post the link here :roll:

I also went for #12. :wink:
I also bought Peace Goddess #12 and got an e-mail confirmation (yesterday)
just waiting for my refund now :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It sounded to me when talking with Peter last night that these are 11 unique pieces, made immediately after the test prints in 2008. Should I be skeptical about his integrity? I know that Emek does lots of variants on his images, but it sounds to me like what you see for sale on these metals is what there is.

they have put them at sold out ages ago then
one would think 11 will sell out in a minute even with all the questions around them
people should learn how to sell online before they do. it takes 10 seconds

from what I remember, Peter is just creative & curious and into experimenting with the anodizing process. I doubt he would start playing around with anyone's image without some initial contact. there is a link between VanHamersveld & Fairey ( http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/126808 ), so that gave me enough of a connection to feel comfortable in making an exploratory purchase.

I agree, but I also recognize that there is a generational gap in computer literacy/comfort.
same goes for a lot of hands on creative type of folks.
