Just got this in with edge damage. They used a tube with a 6" mouth. Should've gone with 3" instead. :(

What's cool is it does come with a certificate of authenticity signed by Shag!

Wow Celcius. You were bitching so much about the price and imagery or Aaron Horkey's ODIR. Received this Shwag piece damaged in the mail, still seem happy about it. I don't know about your taste. I live within walking distance of Nucleus and stayed away from this. This print is cool but not for that amount of money and considering it sounds like gallery fuckd up on shipping these. Cheers to all you pop icon loving fools.

Couldn't believe the fatty tube. Nice packaging' print rolled with kraft paper and then bubble wrap around the roll.
Love the inks. It doesn't pop, but has a wonderful retro look/feel. I love the blue 'edging' in lots of areas of the image (e.g., on the shoulders of the boys' suit jackets - I didn't really take notice to that in the jpg's, although it's plain to see.
I always defer to someone who's wearing a beater, regardless of what else he's wearing.

Its made to to look like the stage lights shining off of their shoulders, but it almost gives it a 3-D effect when looking at it.

I've walked into Nucleus gallery asking if they do framing. They did but sent it elsewhere to be done. I asked about UV Plexiglas, and we're unsure what it was. They said they only did glass. This gallery needs to step up their game. It seems they ruined a good chance at branching out with this Beatles print. It sucks for me cause I would really love to have a cool gallery near me for all my poster needs. Whatever, ill drive out if need be.

Whoa whoa whoa. First off, ODiR is a half-assed print. This isn't. Simple as that. Second, who said I was happy about the damaged shipping? The sad face emoticon is there for a reason. Going to see if I can get a replacement.

Good luck with that. They told me there were no more left for replacement and IF UPS decides to say the damage was their fault, then I would get a refund. Was a real half-assed attempt at customer service.

Really? That's terrible. I'll be going to the gallery next week to talk to them.

This is the most ignorant and stupid post I've seen in a long time, how shallow and stupid. if Shag is not your "taste" why comment? what is your taste anyway? i'm curious. why comment if they are happy with the print with slight damage to the edge? how do you define "pop icon loving fools"? the Beatles are pop icons? :P

When I read that, I couldn't believe it wasn't referring to this.

Keep in mind that's coming from a dude who only collects cartoon prints.

Looks like Nucleus got some replacements from Shag's printer. If anyone was needing replacement, you may
want to contact them soon.
