That's a battle we can't win.
I bet its a much better looking poster in person due to the metallic inks that Sperry uses.

When Pearl Jam asked me to make a poster for Buenos Aires, they knew my recent history in Argentina. I had recently visited Argentina to make a presentation about rock posters at the Trimarchi Design Conference, at the invitation of Santiago Pozzi, an artist who had worked together with the me at my studio as an intern for many months in 2012. I asked Pearl Jam if it would be possible to collaborate with Santiago Pozzi – and to introduce you to the great, new young talent, the Argentine rock poster artist Santi Pozzi – to make their Buenos Aires show poster. Pearl Jam loved the idea. It was a bit of an extension of the VS. idea (at my behest), but with the hand-written story of the poster printed on the back, which ingeniously distinguishes this series of posters from other posters for Pearl Jam.
After traveling to Argentina and meeting many of the artists there, I felt that Santiago Pozzi would have the local knowledge to work with me to make a very authentic poster for Pearl Jam’s concert in Buenos Aires. I felt Santi should generate the theme and idea for the poster, and asked him what he thought. He returned with this idea: Argentina’s local folk hero, Gauchito Gil, known by every Argentine from childhood, should be fighting a mutant soy bean monster from the genetically altered soy bean crops that have invaded Argentina’s farmland for years. In Argentina, South America’s bread-basket, the farmland is called the Pampas. And lately, the Pampas have been over-run by industrial soybean production, by monoculture, and that monoculture, industrial production is engineered by Monsanto Corporation, who overlords the use of genetically engineered seeds. You can read a New York Times article about genetically engineered soybean seed here.
This important issue and treatment of it, would resonate with the Argentine fans. They would immediately understand the anti-corporate motif, and this would mirror Pearl Jam’s opposition to corporate control – whether it is in the music we listen to, or the food we eat. The local folk hero, Gauchito Gil, who is like a Paul Bunyan figure in Argentine mythology, would be fighting for the freedom of Argentina from corporate control. Very Pearl Jam!
Santi drew Gauchito Gil and I drew the Soy Monster. I figured since I’m the Nord Americano, that made sense, and I Rat Finked him out, California-style. I’m very happy with the result, and the Supreme Court ruling, and all the press about Monsanto’s control of genetically engineered food made this a classic mix of rock poster and protest poster all wrapped in one.
As a note: Santi Pozzi printed all the show posters for Buenos Aires at Imprenta Chimango, his printing company in Buenos Aires. I printed all the posters for the Ten Club and for the Artist Edition release (with metallic blue-silver) which is offered here.

We will be making a very limited release of Artist Edition posters, here, on Sunday, April 7, 2013 at a random time.

so onto to Chile to give me at least one to buy
Chuck Sperry and Santi Pozzi
22 x 29
Artist Edition of 100
4 colors on archival cream paper
Signed and Numbered (Chuck Sperry signed - Chuck Sperry and Santi Pozzi - plate signed on the back)
...
Some artists release 100 but some release 200 signed & numbered prints.
Why is this? Especially on the current PJ tour? It was the same for last year's Ed prints too.
Is the band involved is asking the gig artists on how many prints they can limited on selling / releasing?

By the way, I had extra cash to buy at least two more to sell for face value here (I could use the extra paypal money), but since I didn't like it that much, plus I thought the price was too high (around 50) and then add shipping costs, I didn't think that would be a great idea because you can get it from the artist site or the 10C later, plus, they were selling without tubes... probably you can get them from the Santiago Pozzi site/place too, should he have any, when I left last night there were some posters remaining, icluding the ones in display, I was hoping they were cheaper, but no, so I left...
