    why did he rip that poster?
  • joe2468joe2468 Posts: 3,049
    a few months ago i came up this idea to do my basement over ... and one wall im WHEAT PASTING posters all over it .. every little inch of wall will be covered by posters ..8'x20'

    So i contacted Emek.Justin Hampton ,Jermaine Rogers, Frank Kozik,Brad K and Ames bros told them what i wanted to do .and they all loved my idea and sent me a shit load of their misprints/testprints. impefections etc etc for some money i got a total of 175 posters for about $300 bucks.. i got about 20 from Emek , 40 from Justin ,40 from Jermaine ..etc etc

    so i ask Emek about this print if he had any left .. i would love to have one . AND since i know the value of the print he could even rip it in half ..... AND THE FUCKER DID


    and not for nothing alot of them are in REALLY GOOD SHAPE . im even going to frame a few of them cause they are ONE OF A KINDS ... and each and every one they sent me is signed alot of them also from numbered editions

    Perhaps you said it so to make a point I don't know but you should be grateful to EMEK vs quote considering him that fucker as he hooked you up! I wonder at this point did you complete the wall if so post a pic for us so we can see how they all hooked you up!

    it never got OKed by the band ...the promoter paid for them ..they sold about 50 at the show before pearl Jam found out and made them take it down ... Emek had to take them all back ...

    Pearl Jam had AMEs do the posters for that show

    God I love that poster....and as rare as it is, I still think the rarest PJ item ever is the No Code calculator. I have never seen one...not even as an ebay auction.

    That price is insane. For that money I'd expect Emek to come over and paint it onto my wall

    Would love to see some pics of the room done or not. I know the whole man cave thing(I have one of my own that may never see the finish line). Sounds like a GREAT idea! Good Luck!

    This room would be an awesome thing to see when it's done.

    When/if you post pictures of it, however, please do so in a separate thread that in no way uses the phrase "man cave". Thanks. :)

    That's funny... I was actually planning on doing the Coachella 07 poster as a tattoo later on the summer... maybe I'll do the unnatural resources wave instead so that he'll send me a copy.... :mrgreen:

    Edit: Actually I had planned on another tattoo that was going to have a massive wave on it, and using the unnatural resources would be a cool idea...

    meh... I've got the guy to do it... you're right though, it would take forever... and unfortunately the only place on my body I have left that is big enough to do, is completely not visible while wearing clothes....

    I'm gonna see what my artist has to say though... I've got a really good idea for how I want to incorporate it into a mural.... we'll see... If not, I'll go back to my default... or just let him work on my 1/2 finished right quad...
