interesting, people slagging Eelus, Dolk, etc., etc. for Star Wars, all saying, "no more star wars prints, Lord please, no more star wars prints" but everyone either loves this or are silent. Things that make you go hmmmm....

yeah i know, i know, STAR WARS stuff has been done to death and after Eelus' At-at girl it has been pretty rubbish... BUT i'm doing this because I think this makes a statement about how other civilisations might see us as warlike, almost like Darth Vaders mob were seen in the film. When I was WELL into UFO's back when I was living in California and doing a lot of weapons grade psychedelics and listening to a lot of techno in the 90's I found out about this story ...

" So many people were seeing and reading about UFOs that it could only be a matter of time before someone claimed to meet their occupants, and this dubious honour was bestowed on the colourful "Professor" George Adamski. A Polish immigrant, Adamski had tried it all as a soldier, sign painter, factory worker, successful bootlegger during Prohibition , leader of The Royal Order of Tibet (a 1930's Californian religious group) and failed science fiction author (Pioneers of Space, 1949). But it was his November 20, 1952 meeting with a visitor from Venus that drew him world-wide attention, including a meeting with the Queen of the Netherlands, and, according to his supporters, a secret reception with Pope John XXIII, who died two days later.

The meeting with the alien took place in the California desert; Adamski ventured out alone with a camera and telescope after seeing a cigar shaped "mothership" whilst saucer spotting with friends. He then noticed a strange looking man in a ravine:

The men communicated through telepathy and sign language. Adamski learnt that he was from Venus; he had come to warn man that he must stop his warlike ways and that his nuclear weapons were a threat to universal harmony.

woooooo "nuclear experiments for warlike purposes must be stopped... you are threatening the equilibrium of the universe"

PLUS ** I was an extra in STAR WARS and I appear in the last 20 seconds dancing with Eewoks in endor (see pic) and I appear in a crowd on the roof of the Cantina "an evil hive of scum and villainy" .. which gives me a George Lucas given right to use the DEATH STAR II in my artwork if I want , so long as I make it bloody good. I promise I will never touch STAR WARS imagery again after this.

;D Ha ha... +1 muchos respectus Mr Evil!! That's so random that it has to be true. Dancing with chuffing ewoks, I ask you. That's ace! It's true in my had now and that's all that matters. ;D ;D ;D
I think you've justified using the Star Wars imagery with this print.
It speaks volumes about our current course on which we appear to be set. At the end of the day much of what we are currently doing to this planet and each other across and within borders simply does not make sense. Hey ho!
Just needed another smile again to cheer me back up!

Agree!! Wish i could afford the standard edition!! £300 is steep i was hoping for the £150 price tag as well!!

[megaelch]

i agree i was very interested, but 300 is a little bit overpriced ...

[®at]

I WAS interested as it is a great piece.
but £300?
no way pedro

[Joe J]

The image is one of my fav's from PR.

But I have to agree with the above posts regarding the price tag... Its just a bit more than I'm willing to spend, especially after convertinf from Pounds to Aussie dollars!

[gbh]

love it!
afraid 300 quid rules me out though
8+(

[Octopus UK]

I'd have to see the print in "the flesh" before deciding if it is worth £300. Not sure how I can do this though.

[taco]

Yeah could do with some pictures of the real thing. £300 is poss a tad rich for my blood....

[finlee]

have to agree with everyone as well, really wanted one but for £300 quid i cant justify it lol

[slacker]

i've got a couple of pure evil prints and was going to pick up one of these but the price is a bit much for me (and my credit card is a bit off the scale at the moment).

even if funds allowed i reckon i'd probably give it a miss at that price.

[exslacker]

Any chance we'll get to see an actual photo of this print? It seems like I agree with everyone else, I can't believe the price. I really like the imagery, but can't justify spending that kind of coin (especially without an actual image of this print)

[Pure Evil]

more pics of the print coming today..

[craigmccluskey]

crackin print!! but a wee rich pickings for me

[Pure Evil]

I just thought I would post these pics from my amazing printers of the DEATH PLANET on Black Plike and on BLACK GRANITE...
After seeing these I had to eat a pack of salty peanuts and drink guinness, because I felt like Arthur Dent did before hitching a ride on the Vogon Constructor Ship... COMPLETELY STUNNED.








I'm sorry these prints are F*CKING EXPENSIVE but they have been a real piece of work and they look the MUTTS NUTTS.

Hey ab
There was one in the sale at Habitat in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago. Might be worth giving them a shout. I know it was at least half price.

[Curley]

looking forward to hearing BONGO's comments on these... ;D

[Pure Evil]

Why car crash ?? Because I like Warhols death and disaster series of paintings from 1963
Why Lady Diana ?? Because she is our Jackie Kennedy..
Why lots of them ? Because they are going to look SWEET all together like a rainbow... Im going to show them at a guerilla show in the East End next week... opening thursday night on leonard street I think..

Not LEONARD STREET gallery, just a different space on LEONARD STREET.

[Pure Evil]

here are some of the Warhol originals from his death and disaster series...
