i think promoters have commissioned emek several times in the past...only pearl jam made a stink about it. i could be wrong though.

i believe one of the velvet's sold for over a grand a year ago. it was at 400 or so with less than a minute to go haha.

call me an amateur, but wouldn't a poster printed onto a velvet surface lose some of its detail ?

Yes, but it has that gaudy velvet texture. It feels good when you rub it on your face.
