"Israel/Palestine", Shep print

I've gotta say, I love this image from Shep and think it'll be easily his best print release of this year so far. But has anyone got a clue why this thread over on EB would have been locked?

Because they split the threads now between the 'main' thread and the 'release' discussion, so that the main thread doesn't get bogged down in a load of s**te comments. Still happens anyway, but that's the intention. The 'release' thread for this is at:

forum.Expressobeans/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=33351

Also, this image was part of a HUGE wall mural at the ICA exhibit in Boston:

The wall itself was about 15' high, so it was very impressive.

Thanks mate. Hope you're keeping well.

Aye, not too bad. Just trying to keep my head down and hope the recession blows over soon. My missus has put a moratorium on any purchases more than a fiver until it does.

Good luck if you're going for this one. As you say, it's the best Obey print for a while, so the competition will be fierce for it.

[Heavyconsumer]

It's been a long time (or seems like it) since I got into any on-line bunfights too! If I'm home I will go for this one, as I think it's classic Obey! The Shep prints I like are quite pricey on ebay (and a no-no for now), so if I do get lucky, it would make a treasured addition.


EDIT: Just realised how dodgy the fingers are. Still really like it though.

This drop is sure to be utter insanity... I don't care if you have 40 fingers and 100 tabs open, unless you have the cart script, you're screwed... of course, I'm a bitter puss who has gotten screwed on EVERY Obey drop (only go for the good ones)... every time, EVERY time, I have no issues through PayPal, then lose my order waiting for Obey confirmation. F**king annoying

Makes it that much better when you score, I imagine.... Kinda like scoring a Banksy on POW... GO, GO, GO!!! ;D

[G-Man]

Best Obey for ages no chance of scoring it though as usual

[G-Man]

[G-Man]

Do they ever pop back up?

[Karl Read]

Managed to pick one up, im really pleased.

[G-Man]

If anyone got it and isn't sure please PM me? Thanks

[Martin Whatson]

site struggeled! I wish I got one

[Rsyok]

Me too , I was on time so were a few others. Those US flippers are so efficient BIN 300 dollars plus.

[melmoth]

Got one (I think). As noted by everyone else, a horrible experience again. While there are strategies that you can use for Obey drops, it still comes down to luck in large part I think.

BTW, I don't think that a script helps in this particular instance. The main problem is getting the order back out of Paypal, and I'm not sure that there is a script that can help with that. Just getting the print into a cart is nowhere near the end of the story.

[Zippy]

Do these keep popping back up?

[rosstierney]

i've never known a shep print to pop back up

i spent 55 minutes trying to submit my order before i had to go to football

[punkwithtats]

Hopefully they'll not notice it or allow at least 1 to get to you. If they both turn up, feel free to get in touch for some swap possibilities. I have several prints I'd give you a choice from, if you're interested.

[dkla]

I'm looking for one, too. Was all set to hit the website on time but had to go to a meeting. If anybody's selling please let me know. Thanks

PS - wish everybody would use that FairQ lottery system.
