    I think the flippers have went the way of Obey. The cheapest & ugliest kind of art this planet earth has ever seen. Though I gotta give credit to Obey. He's a smart businessman.

    Well how many talentless artist there's making tons of money... who's to blame? the "artist" or the consumer?

    It's the hype & fame. Cause somebody created something big, aka Obama print & designed an element the world all over has been using for their avatars & photos, the fan's are drawn into the artist & will buy everything printed there after. Kinda sad when the world evolves around millions of beautiful colors & endless rainbows of flavor while cream, red & black stands out as the only color wanted & it's value rises.

    Obey prints are terrible for the most part but the Ali print that was sold last week is actually nice.

    The photo taken by Michael Tighe, sure, it's great! http://www.expressobeans.com/visual/ind ... 436/159823 . But a blown up poster & colored in, not! There is nothing new or artistic about this print at all. It's sad art collectors buy this.

    I can't wait till somebody starts re releasing all the kick ass '90's Seattle Grunge shot's day's by Charles Peterson & Lance Mercer & start scanning & blowing up their images on poster & using only 3 colors on those black/white shots & selling 500 of those prints for 80 bucks a pop. Think they will sell hot?

    I'm not a poster expert person at all, but I was just curious as to why the posters at the concerts were $30 + $2 tube, and the posters on that website are selling for $80-$90???
    I love to turn you on

    It's because these are signed & numbered by the artist who created the artwork for that show/poster. Plus with a short run of only 100, it's more expensive & very valuable.
