Can someone explain to me why the number of letters is off, it's driving my OCD crazy. Thanks.

The art is based on Banksy's "Dismaland" so the going assumption would be that the sign spelled "Disneland" not "Disneyland".

That's what I thought...but why Disneland? Seems a weird choice and sort of a halfway house between Disneyland and Dismaland. I had assumed the copyright on Dismaland prevents the use of that.

Ah I didn’t even know there were group pre-orders.
Is this the Facebook group?
Always missing out on these.
Wonder if the bulk of the prints were already sold on the group?

I wonder if there was just a mistake made in translation somewhere... because it really only comes down to two letters... if instead of “sne,” it was written, “sma,” in the middle section, then it would make sense.

The other possibility is that there was “room” for another missing letter in the sign... in other words, after the “sne” there could have been a third space (D*sne**n*) and then Disneyland would fit.

But I don’t think so. I think it’s the first one.

Here is my Gillette HE titled Easy 6/15

Pretty sweet, he added the castle, another building and telephone poles in the background.
