jason....will you post it for all the critics?
I'm tired of the comments about Pollock phoning these posters in. Folks have no idea how long it takes to create these prints.
The Rohner 10th Anniversary utilizes the most colors (blocks) he's ever used. I can personally attest this piece took nearly a month to complete.

That looks awesome. The detail is great.
Again, please don't misconstrue what I was saying. I think he's an incredibly talented artist and I respect the heck out of his work. I've got a couple of his prints hanging in my home. In reality I think I was more pointing out the intracacy of his other prints that have that sort of detail on each of the blocks, and were all printed with his own hands. I just enjoy those more - I actually prefer his 2-3 color prints and the skill it takes to utilize so few colors and still make a poster with so much depth. I think that's where his talent really shines.
But I don't think speculating that ultimately a hand-printed piece takes longer to print than this is really that far-fetched. I may be ill-informed.

on the website it says that half the run less the subscribers (100?) will be used for promotional purposes? does that mean they're floating around for free?
