Bloody thought it was available at 2pm PST!
Now I see I have missed it. I have not been too impressed with the last few, but this one I liked and thought was for a worthy cause and I was after my first Obey.

One day I will manage to get my hands on one!

Anyone manage to get one?

i did manage to one, but im not convinced by being taken to paypal and back again during busy sell outs like this, because its just too slow.

I think the print is good, and like the rest of his prints a bargain compared to some, even if the price is doubled by the shipping charge!

Missed again! Getting a print direct from the obey site, is becoming a holy grail for me.
Cant get to paypal and back fast enough.
Will keep trying, one day maybe

Its 8pm GMT

Agree with everything you just said

I wasn't able to get out of Paypal quick enough this time. Nightmare as usual. It wasn't helped by the decision to allow a maximum of 2 prints per customer. Given the increase in secondary market prices Obey is showing at the moment, it was a flipper paradise in there today!

Missed this one, but I can live with it

Well done to those who were lucky ;D

Well spotted Ripper. Wouldn't be the first time Mr Fairey has appropriated someone elses art without acknowledgement.....

From a post on EB thats a review on Amazon

THIS BOOK IS A JOKE., November 29, 2007
By Clarisse

In response to Fairey's solo exhibition, Imperfect Union, (December, 2007) at the Merry Karnowski Gallery in Los Angeles, California, Mark Vallen, renowned artist, activist, illustrator and curator criticizes Fairey's work and career as an artist, in a essay published on his Art for a Change web site. Vallen expresses his outrage at how Fairey has made a career "out of the consistent, secretive and wholesale copying of other people's artworks" and describes why, in his opinion, "it should make obvious that anyone so ill-informed should not be in the vanguard of today's political art". He identifies Fairey's work as "machine art that any second-rate art student could produce" by picking apart Fairey's heavy usage of "silly portraits of a dead wrestling champion" as well as "absurdist propaganda". Vallen acuses Fairey of "toying with the veneer of radical politics" when "his views are hollow and non-committal". Vallen also explains how Fairey is "deceiving people by pawning off counterfeit works as original creations" with numerous examples of original pieces shown side by side with Fairey's "lucrative OBEY fashion line" version. In the example of the White Panther logo, Vallen emphasizes that by "exploiting the panther logo for profit by printing it on boutique clothing, Fairey has accelerated the dehistoricization and commodification of American history", and in his opinion, "has forfeited his ability to speak as a dissident". He states that "Fairey is guilty of utilizing historic images simply because he "likes" them, and not because he has any grasp of their significance as objects of art or history". Vallen further supports that "Fairey simply filches artworks and hopes that no one notices" and that "these days any amateur with a minimally written crackpot manifesto can make waves in the world of art". If Fairey has "developed a profitable livelihood exclusively based on pilfering the artworks of others", Vallen ultimately asks "can Shepard Fairey honestly be described as an artist who can critically assess the unholy union of government and big business, or offer comments on the underpinnings of the capitalist machine?". Koloman Moser, Ralph "Bingo" Chaplin, Pirkle Jones, Rupert Garcia, Rene Mederos, Félix Beltrán and Gary Grimshaw are a few of the plagiarized artists that are mentioned in Vallen's critique.

The only thing I like about obey releases is the price. I dont think Obey is my cuppa, still Its good to see them being sold with a realistic price tag. Whats the quality like on these anyway?
