There are several members who only post on one topic, including some galleries.
I certainly wouldnt want to see someone banned for showing me a pic of some art, even if I am not the biggest fan of Above's prints.
Or, am I missing something?

I think I am missing something as well with respect to how hot people are getting under the collar. I believe Karen runs the Above Sales so I guess like ever gallery they should be free to post information about their artist(s). I think the angle some people seem to be getting angry about is that for the actual releases people on their mailing list get advanced notice and hence posting on this forum to date has resulted in the scenario that the prints are already sold out. I do get this point but would add if I remember correctly they have posted plenty of information pre-release. I do know that the prints were available for sale as I am on their mailing list. All seems very harsh unless I have missed something?

It's constant. Karengolden is the worst PR rep for Above....it's amazing how many people like his art LESS because of her.

Tavar Zawacki 🇺🇸 Above Street Art • Print Release, by karengolden on Sept 6, 2011 1:14:24 GMT 1, Final photos of the complete 1960 Hollywood set.
taped off and ready to be painted. Select pine wood that is 3 inches in depth (7.62 cm) gives the larger James Bond arrow a nice depth to literally stand upright and house the 5 smaller wooden arrows and the 5 stands nicely inside.
Arrow boxes lined up ready to be painted. Notice the piano hinge on the left side of each arrow box that allows the larger arrow to open up to the 5 smaller arrows and stands inside the body of the arrow box.
Wooden select pine stands with slots cut the length of the middle so the arrows can stand upright.
Here is the complete set of larger arrow box with all five 1960 Hollywood actors and five wooden stands housed inside. Take a look at the sequence.
Photos of the front and reverse sides of the larger James Bond arrow and 5 smaller wooden arrows upright in the stands.
Reverse side of larger James Bond arrow with the complete roll call of all five 1960 Hollywood actors inside.
Side view of larger arrow and signed, dated, and numbered arrows standing upright.
close up of signature, date, number and screen printed reverse side of smaller arrows.
all arrows are signed, dated, and individually numbered by Above.
complete set front view. This 1960 Hollywood edition is limited to only 10 sets. Each larger box is also signed and numbered on the inside of the arrow.
1960 Hollywood arrow box edition is finished.
