Sue is the best - a credit to EB, for sure!
I've got two sets, and they're awesome!

Do yourself a favor and snag a set from her, or get a set for a friend. You'll be happy you did.

Received my weight bags today and I am beyond pleased with IWish's work. Great communication, excellent at setting expectations, and very fast turnaround times (order placed Thursday night, received bags following Wednesday).

Any standard weight bags you're going to find on the market are $10-$20 each, so this is an absolute no-brainer, especially with the custom imagery offered.

Here are my beautiful bags:

not to derail this thread...i have a set from Sue, they are amazing and she is amazing...most likely gonna get another set.

i'm well aware that there is a lot of fudge on here that would be considered "in bad taste" but, if that "Challenger" one is a poster, which i assume it is, though i havent seen it, its in pretty drymounting bad taste, and to want to look at that over and over again and call it "beautiful" is just weird...i actually watched that fudge happen live in the sky, along with the rest of my middle school class mates....either there is a joke im not getting or its just not very cool man. :(

It's one of Faile's iconic images and why they sign all their pieces "1986" (http://expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/55949).

They explain the Challenger image in this video: http://vimeo.com/34902815

not the place for this discussion (sorry Sue) but what i took away from that video was that their next "iconic image" could easily be two trenchcoated colorado teens walking into a highschool with guns in each arm....why would they be trying to bring people back to points of extreme grief and trauma in their lives? senseless. "faile" does seem like a good name for them, i guess...."hey, lets remind people of horrible failures, that they all remember but dont want to truly think about cause they were so tragic and awful"

whatever man, its art, to each his own.

Hadn't seen this done by anyone else, and these sort of moments mean so much...these movies wouldn't so great if it weren't for these actors and directors working together.

Top to bottom:

Stanley Kubrick and Jack Nicholson on the set of The Shining
Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorsese on the set of Taxi Driver
David Fincher and Michael Douglas on the set of The Game
Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott on the set of BladeRunner
