3 hours f5ing i feel for you, but plenty more fish i the sea, are UK buyers at a disadvantage because the server and company is in the US? If so at least we have POW and BRP

shep's elephant dropping, by kel on Apr 10, 2009 1:12:48 GMT 1, I tried and had the same problem as a lot on here. But to be honest I would only buy it to flip. Imo obey prints are just mass produced crap. How can any artist produce so many images a week. Dont get me wrong some of the images look good. Though do we really want these to hang on our walls.
I have 2 of the george orwell box sets sat waiting to hopefully pay for a nice holiday next year.

pretty easy stuff. posterize the image in photoshop, take it back into illustrator and do a live trace, add some colour and tidy it up.
simple.

What I cant work out is how he manages in his published hectic lifestyle manage to sign all these different prints/posters a week. As I say not all his prints a week are released on Obey.

then he just checks the proof, gives it the ok... then signs them at the end.
You can do the idea and get it worked up in 1-3 days depending on what it is.

I am just an old sinic, his obey staff must have to sign the odd 1 or 20.

People (including me) have been making posts along these lines on the giant forum for ever - it makes absolutely no difference - the obey machine does not listen and DEOS NOT CARE about you or your buying experiences (or attempts to buy) AT ALL. To let this problem continue - get worse in fact - over such a long time (years) shows nothing but a total disrespect for his customers and fans imo.
The amount of combined man hours that are wasted (totally unnecessarily) by everyone trying to get one of these prints, or even trying to pay for one once they had it in there basket, is mind boggling.

Why would Shep care? Regardless of how absolutely sh**ty the experience, EVERY print sells out in a matter of an hour. It would be mere minutes but for that fact that their servers suck so much azz that it takes a while to process the sell out... Reminds me of a story...
... of this guy who F5'ed for 8 f**king hours from the Google Campus in Nor Cal. The print dropped, kid got through to PayPal in a matter of a minute... and then spent 1 F**KING HOUR trying to get back to Obey for confirmation... and then funny enough, he finally got through to the confirmation page... and his cart was empty and the print... SOLD OUT 
Friends, that "guy" is me and all I have to say is F**K OBEY! I would much rather give me $$$ to artists with real talent that appreciate & create rather than duplicate the SAME CRAP every other week but for the occasionally exceptional print... such as Elephant Peace. Been waiting for months for this to drop so bitter boy say what 
Happy Easter to one & all... except for Fairey ;D
