Cleon Peterson This is Darkness II, by thisisit on Apr 18, 2017 1:13:31 GMT 1,
I find this composition so pleasing, i will be going for one.
RELEASING PUBLICLY TUESDAY APR 18, 9AM PST
I will not say which one I will go for, as i have noticed with past Cleon Peterson releases. The best colour way goes for less money on eBay because of the flippers. (glad i found the right way to finally mention this - which has been annoying me for a while now...) i guess flippers should take note and try flip the worst of the two in their opinion 
THIS IS DARKNESS II
28 x 28โ hand pulled black and gold / black and white screen print
printed on 290gsm Coventry Rag paper with deckled edges
Each print is signed and numbered by the artist
limited edition of 175
Get it at: www.cleonpeterson.bigcartel.com

Cleon Peterson This is Darkness II, by frankiefrench on Apr 18, 2017 17:22:53 GMT 1, Peterson is really growing on me since picking up both the Juxtapoz and VNA cover issues and now that I know something of what he is about.
Good strong stuff, powerful imagery.
The only reservation I have is that they are very very much the same each time, I kind of wish we would see a slight break from the norm with him but people get into a style and if it starts selling they just keep knocking them out.
Good stuff, i'm not picking holes in it. Loving the black colour way as opposed to the white one.

Cleon Peterson This is Darkness II, by surge on Apr 18, 2017 20:03:39 GMT 1, I like the new release, though I agree 'Virgins' was not as great and doesn't look like it would be a stunning art piece on a wall. The best Cleon Peterson released prints (in order) include #1 Endless Sleep (too many reasons), #2 Genocide (one of the pieces that made Cleon famous), #3 Marchers (great for all ages and has a great Egyptian feel) and #4 Trump (political)

Cleon Peterson This is Darkness II, by surge on Apr 18, 2017 20:11:54 GMT 1, + Now that one of the Cleon Peterson's 'This is Darknes II' is sold out it's clear that the white one was the more popular one and I would have to agree. Also wanted to update previous ranking with color overlays included:
The best Cleon Peterson released prints (in order) include #1 Endless Sleep (both colors are amazing), #2 Genocide (black is the better one but the white is sweet too--the imagery is that good), #3 Marchers (white for sure) and #4 Trump (honestly there are too many color overlays  --though *cough cough* Platinum is the more elegant looking piece)

I don't find Genocide that nice at all and to my surprise I didn't find Endless Sleep all that great in person.
Curious thing is that when Cleon started to mix the colors a little bit I was very excited, but now I prefer his one color prints (Marchers, Balance of Power, Return, Civil Rights). I haven't seen any of the new OGs though.

My only comments is that I prefer White genocide to the Black one.
My order would be:
1) The return
2) Endless Sleep
3) The Marchers
4) Trump
And i genuinely do like the one that got released today, but to soon to add it as number 5 to my top 5

Cleon Peterson This is Darkness II, by Amber Halo on Apr 18, 2017 21:53:00 GMT 1, I'm not sure about all these rankings, sorta like "the World's Best Dad" t-shirts. I'm not sure how official those really are. But my red Victory print is bad ass.
