A kind member whom I very much respect sent me photos, it is an intriguing flaw. I wonder if the ap’s of other prints have a similar line hidden in the same place, and there is a flaw with the printing mechanism
Every Hanuka AP has the following line from Ghostbusters subtly screenprinted in a translucent layer:
“Then, during the Third Reconciliation of the Last of the Meketrex Supplicants, they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you!”

I hear a world of paper shuffling and magnifying glasses a flame. How far back does this flaw go? If it is a printing issue it wouldn’t be specific to Hanuka’s pieces

Just out of curiosity:
If it is only on the ap’s and not the regular edition, are the ap’s ap’s or a thinly veiled second edition that was done much later? What is the printing code ethics on this issue?

So it goes...
Nope, no print flaws to speak of, and no torn corners either, which is a real bonusdarthvenom wrote:Does it have that line like all the other ones?1000steps wrote:The TKU AP is even better than expected
I scored huge brownie points presenting this print to my wife for her birthday

Thought I'd share this as I haven't seen many frame-ups of Tomer's stuff. Got this done a few months ago and it was tricky to get the balance right for such a crazy yet elegant print.

Thanks man, had to wrestle with the idea of such a wide mount and comparatively thin frame but I think it does the job - gives it some much needed room to breathe. I also think the dark trim is essential to box it all off, sort of like a comic book frame but more elegant. My framer did an excellent job to be fair.
Looks like Tomer has done a reg/var Annihilation print and is selling APs. I like it, nice and trippy/lurid - http://thanuka.com/prints/annihilation-aps-var
