All I know is the guy posted shep gave him the screens, then said it is too slick looking  never got back to him? What an arrogant move, so the dude said ok sell them to make his money back is what I am thinking! His Emek stuff is outstanding those are S/N by EMEK.. Will wait and see how this plays out!! Glad I got one! Really tried posting link on here for others but I was unable too! Figured others would have wanted one!

They were 250  Talked to peter on phone about two hours ago, secured mine!!! Can't wait to see this.... will post pics when it arrives! DOn't really care is shep signs them, like I said earlier shep gave hime the screens to make then turned him down and never got back to him. So betting he is just trying to get his money back. Think it cost about 200 in material and labor to make a metal print? Think that is what Chuck Sperry said his cost to produce? SO he gets his money back and us fans get a cool piece of art!

Apart from the fact that there were some really awful looking colourways there. That I'm sure S.F would never of produced. Looks like mitc got a good colourway though.

At $250 it would be cheaper to get a few friends together and print them yourself

Anyone else get a Metal shepard, by Zippy on Mar 13, 2012 18:11:38 GMT 1, They were test pieces created for Shep 3 years ago and supposedly no one got back to him.
They are not signed or numbered, nor do they come with any provenance.
BUT.... some of them looked good and for $250 you are getting a Shep test piece on metal.
IMO It is not a bootleg (ie a banksy canvas from Camden market for ยฃ10), but nor it is an 'official' Shep piece.
So i guess it falls into an area of a test piece that is not meant to be sold. For a big Shep fan it's a nice piece to own, frame and hang.
Does anyone have the image of them they can post up?

Anyone else get a Metal shepard, by mitc on Mar 14, 2012 0:46:40 GMT 1, Just got an email from the printer number 8 is mine see pic below! Being shipped today!
Pete the printer just posted this!!
Peter,
I like the way the prints on metal look. However, they are a little too slick for what I want in my "art" pieces. I have been printing on aluminum that has been sanded, dipped in a blackening solution, and then printed with matte acrylic inks. I'm going to dip the samples you sent me in blackening solution to see how they look. I am glad to pay for these two samples. If I like the way they look blackened I may order more. I'll let you know. Thanks. I hope all is well.

If I was an artist I wouldn't trust them with my artwork!
