Well that all sounds pretty terrible.
When it comes to sites like this, they're incredible resources when it comes to the database, but they're not exactly profitable, so they become no-one's priority.
I hate what happened to Gigposters...it's just a front for some weird print-on-demand site now, and that amazing database of rock posters is just...gone.

That is a shame. You have to be intrigued by the print-on-demand aspect though, right? It’s almost like they were inspired by some “artists” who started reprinting their more popular stuff in cash grab after cash grab. Beats coming up with new ideas all the time amirite?!?

Thanks man! Yeah, that's Spoke Art's and Recess' project- obviously I'm involved but they're handling all the heavy lifting.
Nakatomi did just have this Bernie Wrightson puzzle project a bit ago, that one did really well-

Bought the simpsons puzzles because I regret selling the original prints. These will do and be fun to put together. #doyled

I gave one away in an EB giveaway. The naïve days...

Luckily I kept a signed AP. My favorite BW print.

We really expected to be working with Bernie for years to come. His stroke was really a gut punch for so many reasons. Just a very kind and generous person, and an unbelievable talent.
That dude's studio here in Austin was a freaking museum.
