Shell Blood for Oil, by beejoir1 on May 31, 2007 18:02:53 GMT 1, Hi everyone, just thought I better fill you all in on the print release as I've had quite a few PMs regarding it, the release date will be around the middle of June, ( sorry no idea of the exact date )
I don't have much say in a print release so I'm very sorry that I can't help anyone in getting one, I don't even have any artist proofs for this print.
There was this one original test spray that was sent to Jon....
and a Canvas .........
Both have gone, and all the Iraqi funny money have been used up. All 40 prints have been signed and stamped with the flashy new SoS gold stamp, thanks for the support and I hope to see some of you in July.

Shell Blood for Oil, by Imoy-San on May 31, 2007 18:07:35 GMT 1, Wow, I'll ping Jon. This looks awesome and great work.
I could send you some Iraqi money if needed. I picked up some 250 Dinar notes at Burning Man a few years ago. Seems one of the squadies was part of a team that raided a safe-house. he brought loads to the desert to give away...

Oh and really grateful for the change of Avatar. Some mental scaring issues if there was much more of Mr Baywatch.

I miss the Hoff!
Really like blood for oil- it's definately grown on me as it didn't appeal straight away when the pic was first posted a few weeks ago.
The canvas is amazing, v sharp.

Shell Blood for Oil, by hasselhoff on Jun 1, 2007 10:22:08 GMT 1, Chrisso, how do you decide upon edition numbers? I know it's good from the artists point of view for demand to outweigh supply - but why 40 and not 50 or 60 for example???

It's 40 because the edition is printed on sheets of uncut Iraqi Dinars Notes and he only could only find 50 sheets. A few have gone on the canvas and allowing for mistakes etc. it's whittled down to just 40.

Shell Blood for Oil, by beejoir1 on Jun 1, 2007 11:52:14 GMT 1, At the start of the 2nd Iraq war, at 2 am we took a ladder and a 5 liter pot of red gloss paint, climbed to the top of the local Shell garage and poured it from the bottom of the shell logo all the way down the sign/price list. It looked quite shocking....... until we got the local rag a week later. A half page spread on the ''vandalized'' sign with the caption '' Locals angry over the rise in petrol prices'' though they missed the point totally, we seemed to have had the support of our small minded community, I wondered for a while after that, if they had known the real reason why I had painted this, would they have supported it?
I would love to have done this to every petrol station in the land but it would have required a lot of red gloss and eventually some time in Jail. Will find the article and pics when I get around to it and post it on my site.
