Really? I saw the email and took a look but it's pretty much standard Hork to me. Idk I mean I'm sure it's great in person but you really think this is AP of the year?

The hork always wins.
Always bet on Hork.

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.

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!

**edit.. yeah what HappaHaoli said.

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 print

THC members: does this print alone get me in next year :P ? jp

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.

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