The link worked for me. I am kind of curious as to what they actually look like in person. He has some of the rolling roadshow and evil dead up too.

I'm sure they're garbage. These dudes get an oversized scan of the original and have inkjet copies printed out on thin paper. Anyone with half a brain would never mistake these for screen prints but sadly there are enough people out there with less than half a brain to make bootleging posters somewhat profitable.

Please don't support this clown, even if to satisfy curiosity.

someone should really flag this to olly.

i don't have twitter but maybe that would be a good way to get in touch with him?

this is bullshit that some ass just reproduces his work and sells them - profiting off someone else's work.

someone shut this guy down, please!

I really want a star wars print and would like a cheap Ass poster version but not if someone else is stealing his image and selling it at what looks like a high enough profit. If these were from olly I would bite but otherwise ill go without unless I can find a screenprint

Oh im not buying any, dont worry about that. I did send notification to the site tho. Guess that is my pro bono for the week. I know it is not really my lane, but it pisses me off. I understand that people want to be able to walk into a walmart and buy these off the rack next to the justin beebs posters but, drymount that I worked hard for my Moss pieces and I take it personal when people rip him off. :pint:
I think more than anything is scares me that some of his images would be really easy to reproduce, if you know what I mean. I hope he continues to emboss all his work.

So, I sent the ebay seller of the 24x36 'reproductions' a pretty provocative message this morning. I had just arrived at work (at 0545!) and was pretty tired, probably on my period. Anyway, just got a great response. Let me clean my message up, and I'll share the reply.

I probably shouldn't have sent that message, but whatever. Her reply is clear enough, she knows exactly what she was doing. I reminded her how she absolutely was scamming people, claiming huge profits from someone else artwork. Also she declined my offer of £1.01.

EDIT: Please note that the items have now been removed.
