    Yes, $35.

    And worth every penny. The pictures don't do it justice; the blues are gorgeous, it's got my city's most famous piece of public sculpture on it, and IT'S DESIGNED BY ED! I'm framing it this week. I love it.

    I should also note here that one of these posters, SIGNED BY ED, will be auctioned at the pre-party at Kasey's tonight. Come on down!

    That's a really great image. It perfectly captures the theme of ITW and the public art is the perfect contrast. Again, Brad Klausen outdoes himself.
    I might be able to get to an E-bow.

    Me too, passed on both in NYC, don't need to stare at Ed's face on my wall constantly, and I totally don't get the batcraze.
    But this! This I want to frame and cuddle and call it George. Well not quite. But kinda.

    I also skipped the other two. This one I like.

    you think there will be some left tonight?
  • AvocadoLadyAvocadoLady Posts: 680
    There were a ton left last night. I wouldn't be surprised if there were plenty today too.

    Just an FYI....

    Both the Blue Ed and the Batman are big. 18 x 24, give or take.

    The Chicago one is slightly smaller. 22 x 15 or 16.

    Just in case people wonder about size for framing.

    Did anyone else pick up the Chi. poster both nights??

    I was looking at them side by side and the colors are slightly different.

    On the night one poster, the horizon is a lighter blue on the horizon...like the dawn or something.

    On the night two poster, the sky is much darker on the horizon...like a late night...

    Maybe I am crazy though, which is why I ask. I can try to take a couple of pics to show what I am talking about...

    This poster is so beautiful. As the last night of the tour was going on I was sitting on a big granite rock watching the sun fall over a Mountain Range in the high mountains of Yosemite...Toloumne to be exact. I ate mushrooms and was completely overtaking by the beauty of the evening while I was listening to Into the Wild and thinking about the show that was happening at the same time. When I came out of the mountains and got home my dad had picked me up this poster and it was just amazing how much the blue sky resembled the sky of my memory from that evening. A perfect fit for wrapping up this tour that I have followed so closely. Im so happy with this super cool poster. Can't wait to have it framed beautifully.

    This poster is listed on artillery, did it go on sale? If so, when, this one is the cats ass...but I think 99.99% of them are.

    am i the only one who really doesnt think this poster is that great?

    i brought money to the show specifically for this poster and the batman one, but when i saw it up close it just seemed wierd having the picasso in the middle of alaska. didn't fit the background well at all IMO.

    so i ended up getting the batman one and i am satisfied. i think its just overhyped because it is the only show-specific poster of the tour.

    agree with you - this poster is so so at best...

    Are you having them frame it, or are you doing it yourself? I'm thinking of getting it framed just not sure if I should try it myself to save some $$.. :)

    Nope...I honestly just haven't taken them out of the tube yet.

    I need to do that though.

    Same question here. My wife goes to Hobby Lobby 3 times a week and this will give me a reason to go with her. Maybe make a date out of it.

    I like this poster because of the Picasso. Maybe it is beacuse I am from Chicago and that Statue has meaning to me.

    I can see why people do not like it if they are not from here or did not go to the shows.

    I have a bunch of posters in tubes but this one needs to go on the wall. These 2 shows were classics.
