Holy fudge!!! I just saw it for the first time! I owe you a major bow. :notworthy:
I can't be the only blindfuck around here??!? Am I? Thanks for pointing it out with the close-up, seriously. Took me some time even with your pic.
This is one of my favorite poster this year and I wasn't even seeing it clearly. Curious why it reads TRiPS and not simply TRPS.. ok I got it thanks to the free online dictionnary.. Wordplay with TRPS - Trips - ''6. Slang To have a drug-induced hallucination''

I bet a lot of people missed this. I was really surprised it was not discussed at all. Please post if you just found it, if you saw it from day 1 or if you're still not seeing it! Discuss! This is sooooo cool! :pint:

The second photo is for reference from where I took the first photo. If you notice in the first photo the TRPS has a mirror image. Pretty cool!

No doubt I just found it, took me a minute also...then BAM !!!

That puts a whole new light on this print from me, I mean it's obviously badass in person from first glance, but seeing this makes me love it that much more.

Chuck you are a mf-in' madman bro :notworthy:

I hadn't seen the print since I received it a few weeks back. It's always worth opening the file to look at these. Beautiful work!

I don't know about God Doug, but brilliant nonetheless...

That wallpaper really deserves special recognition. Chuck spent a lot of time working that out before even starting the main art for the poster.

Look close, and you'll see "TRiPS" in a number of plant-like forms. A nod to San Francisco's psychedelic past, not to mentiuon the TRPS (intentional) acronym.



There's layers of stuff going on with this poster. Verrrry cool.

I was beginning to wonder if an Ohioan was capable of lying when I finally saw this...

I just saw this after staring at if for a few more minutes. You know where the TRiPS is.....If you look below that in the same patter design, upside down is SPiR T RiPS....There is another TRiPS I found!!!

Also it isn't a bubble lettering, but instead like pencil writing if that makes sense.

Great shot Bill, Corey not so much. :lol: I'll have to pull out my gold foil and see how this looks in person now that my brain has caught up with Chuck's brilliant design. :) I still can't believe we're having this discussion for the first time like 2 months after the release. It's a lot of fun to see other members and serious Sperry collectors mentionning they also missed this just like I did.
