Must be spoiled by D&L ... that looks a wee bit flat with out metallics.

Kick ass frames, though.

It says on the site that these are printed with metallic inks. Maybe they didn't photograph that well or the metallics aren't that thick or sparkly.

I agree, the frames are perfect for these.

They are supposed to have metallic ink. I think (hope) it may just be the lighting in the photos that doesn't quite show it off.

Either way, nice print at a good price and DarkCityGallery are some of the best people around to deal with! Easy +1.

Rest assured, the metallic inks are fantastic on these prints. For some reason it doesn't show up well in the photos. The Half and Half did a wonderful job screen printing these.

I bit on the silver once you guys pointed me that there were actually metallics.

Pretty classic looking print, worth taking a shot at and I just moved into a new office that needs some stuff on the walls ... we'll see if it makes the cut.

Why did you drop before 1:00 EST... it was sold out when I checked even before that.

Don't sell just buy!
Use Mr. Brainwash prints to solve world hunger or to start fires...option two is a better choice.
Flippers are part of the process but not part of the solution.
More to come...

They dropped them at the announced time. You were an hour late. They dropped them at 17:00 - 5pm UK time/12pm Eastern time. Sorry you missed it. :(

As a huge Metropolis fan I was extremely lucky to snag one...

Was heading out the door to do some Friday chores ( hence took the day off) and glanced at EB for a quick snapshot of all things paper. Metropolis up! Car running, with wife inside!! Somehow managed to grab a sliver in under a minute while she waited and make it outside as if nothing happened. Touchpad has been great for clandestine acquisitions... 8)

Love this print! :pint:

Here's a better photo of the silver Metropolis, the flash highlights the silver metallic ink.
