Prints rolled in bags is my current biggest peeve. Had one artist ship a print with the poster wrapped tightly in bubble wrap (which was then taped) instead of kraft paper. Never seen dat fudge before. Was a "fun" one to unwrap. I can't stand the staple fudge either.
Luls. Bubble wrap. Why though?

Can’t say I care much about the staples, but would rather not have them.

Seriously? Never thought is was a thing. People don’t have pliers, screwdrivers, or other suitable tools at home?
Also, many are like this, just cut and slide it off:

I hate those things. Always wind up having to push the tabs in with like a pen or something.

Danger or McCarthy used them for a bit, they suck.

I was going to ask if Slater still used them. #antitabcapscrew
Wanda: I can't stand people. I hate them. Do you hate them?
Henry: No, but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

Never heard of bubble wrap wrap, lol.

Slater is the only artist I can think of shipping his prints in plastic bags.

You know what, I think you are correct. It was Slater not the Dan's who used them.

Haha. I haven’t actually scored on a Slater drop since the Obama administration so I’m not sure.

Last Slaters I got with those caps were an Evil Dead + TV onna Radio.
