For those following Aaron's work, this has been a unicorn since 2006. I never would have expected to own a legit copy of this, just seeing it as a desktop background image.63schoeffling wrote:Really?

To some you are right judging it just on image alone. To the Faithful there's way more going on with this one than just a great image.

Kind of sounds like many people new to the Horkey scene think this is a new image? This is a classic Horkey painting. It has been a dream for many seasoned Horkey fans for this to become an actual print release. It has been discussed for years. Many thought it would never happen. Today was a complete surprise. It happened, and it's drymounting awesome!63schoeffling wrote:Really? I saw the email and took a look but it's pretty much standard Hork to me.

I'm new to this poster/print game and Horkey is what got me into it. His detail in this is insane and having the opportunity to own it is incredible. Now I hope Monsters Children #19 becomes a printHappaHaoli wrote:For those following Aaron's work, this has been a unicorn since 2006.

THC members: does this print alone get me in next year ? jp
THC x 3
I started collecting Horkey 5 years ago, and saw this piece, it is this, Nesting and WBG that made me fall in love. Bought WBG as my first, lust after Nesting, but I never thought I would have Croatan on my wall. I saw it on the sight and added it to the cart, It could have been 2500 and I would not have known. I know I am not an old school Horkey collector but as one who really appreciates his art I am super stoked to see this piece. Now to get my post count up so I can see you all in THC, today I grabbed #15 and 16.TheThirdEye wrote:Kind of sounds like many people new to the Horkey scene think this is a new image?

This release was painful. I thought I had beaten the odds. I had not.
