It's not the best photo, but here is my framed DC. I went with a more slate top mat in the design.

That's the best frame job I've seen on the DC thus far. There are a handful of posters that seem almost impossible to the right look when framed. For example Santa Barbara 03, Gorge 05, DC and even the AC 05. Almost all framed examples I've seen of these posters have looked very cheesy.

heavy stock is the word they used

but i'd say it's better than flimsy

it's not like a screenprint

but it's not like my michael jackson poster

hope that helps

Its practically card board....The colours are really good on all the Aussie posters....5 months after the Aussie tour tho all the posters are still being sold on ebay in australia.........The same sellers have been selling them since the end of the tour....
I would love to know the exact number that was printed.....?
I saw a couple of Melb posters in a record store in Melbourne yesterday framed they were selling for $225..

You inspired me to link a photo of my AC, which was just framed locally. I used 2 mats, the pink is reverse-beveled so there wouldnt be any white separating the colors, and there are spacers between the pink mat and the print to give the mats the same dimensional feel and depth that Klausen did with the lettering and image in his print. That sounded confusing. Basically, the mat job looks 3D the same way the image is meant to, although my camera couldnt really capture the effect. Hope you all dig it.

Wow, impressive. You all inspire me to reframe all my self framed posters, give more thought to the matting etc. I just went with a consistent black frame on white mat for all of my 19 out of 70 that are framed. I am humbled.

The run for the austrailian posters was infinity. They are lithographs and you can make those at kinkos and no one could tell the difference.

Yeah but was the break down......?

The million dollar question today is when is the leftover poster's going to go up for sale?

that was the alleged run

and it was "approximately 1000"

i'd say it was closer to 2000

Seems like eBay has sold almost 1000 of each, sure not so, but seems like it.

With this kind of poster, very easy to just keep printing them off!!

Brisbane's gone....

Looks like there is some demand for these after all. At least more so than for Arnhem, Milwaukee or Ireland/UK.

like your ghost hood


most people buy for the images... so they don't care


and some will be surprised that it's not a silkscreen



here's the email/breakdown from the guy who sold the posters

Pearl Jam Posters Australian Tour
Some info:
Posters are not signed or numbered.
They're printed offset on 100+ lb heavy art stock.
A series of 12 different posters were made using four different artists each making 3 designs.

Approx 1000 posters were made of each design.
Between 350 to 500 of each poster to be merched (depending on venue size)
at respective gigs in OZ, which btway are selling out each nite.
350 of each sent back to the US fanclub for sale later.
100 of each go to the band, not for sale.
150 stay in OZ for sale thru Beyond The Pale Posters.

I'm not seeing the Newbury Comics allotment in his math.

it was a sarcastic good... you should know that!

plus I figured "good" was better than bitching and complaining about it

my guess is you could take it from the "approximately 1000" which probably ended up being 1400

You can not go to Kinkos and get Litho prints. Kinkos digital printing service prints to laser printers, a very different process from lithography that I mentioned in another thread. Laser printing creates prints made from powder or wax toner that gets fused to the paper in one layer using heat, this creates an image that is dull and soft. The color can also vary greatly from print to print.

Lithography, the process used for the Aussie posters uses a (typically) four color print system that sets down each of the 4 component colors separately (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) as a series of tiny dots; once the 4 layers of dots are on the page, it creates the illusion of many hues, tints and shades of color. The result can be vibrant and are much sharper than a laser print.

If you can not tell the difference between a laser print and a lithograph from of a printing press....you aren't looking. You just can not make a high quality, fine art print that would be acceptable to the discerning collector using the laser printing process.

If you really think that these posters can be duplicated at your locals Kinkos, I challenge you to go try it.

well said, as an artist myself i dont think anybody here realizes what a litho is, it may not be as hands on as a screenprint but it is not a print that is dupicated easily
