has theGiant caught wind of this yet? I bet he'll sell at least another 50 of Peace Goddess if it does.

that one is a little before my time, but certainly is a very cool image. I really dig a couple of the Zeppelins too.Rick_a_c wrote:I think ANY old fart like me remembers vividly the black & white album cover for Humble Pie's self-titled record album back around 1970. That's the image of the Humble Pie entry in this offering....

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.
I always defer to someone who's wearing a beater, regardless of what else he's wearing.

They look to be editioned. Looks like 21 of each.
I also went for #12.

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.

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.Rick_a_c wrote:It sounded to me when talking with Peter last night that these are 11 unique pieces, made immediately after the test prints in 2008.

I agree, but I also recognize that there is a generational gap in computer literacy/comfort.Wawaad wrote: people should learn how to sell online before they do. it takes 10 seconds
same goes for a lot of hands on creative type of folks.
