Mine's still flattening, and the light isn't perfect, but the colors don't seem dull. After seeing it in person, I like the print job on it as much as Empathy reg. (Image wise, Empathy still has the edge)
Chuck Sperry News
Hard to tell from the pics, but the colours seem to be more vibrant on Empathy than this one, when compared to theirs jpegs. In reality, they are probably about the same. The dark blue is definitely purple though.
Going back to shadow lining, I snapped a couple more pics of the last Black Keys posters:
I think I noticed it first as something different on the Democracy print. Not sure if Chuck did it before 2019. If I recall correctly, it was even briefly discussed here when the Democracy print was posted. Briefly as in 2 or 3 posts, but given the level of activity on the site, one may say it is quite a bit, lol.

Bubbie and ryan9— regarding the diagonal shading, the first I noticed it was the Democracy print, as you already pointed out bubbie. I guess Chuck has been experimenting with new shading techniques since then. Generally I think it’s working great. However, it’ll be tough to outrival the beauty of say Erato which only shows some subtle, pointillist shading in the face combined with other dramatic shading in solid black shapes that reveal a glimmer of the floral pattern beneath.

yes, I believe this is normal. it's been a few years since I had much luck on Sperry drops but I recall only getting paypal receipts
Chuck's the man and usually all over shipping quickly.
