I would scratch Kelly and Bertmer off my artist list, but amazingly some of the expresso crowd love their style (and speaking of expresso, does that forum run on a P90 or 486 out of someones garage, what a dog).
It is horrible on big drop days .. You get page errors and everything and then when you can get through and you try to post you can get the "someone has posted already" errors fro another 5 mins before youre post gets through .. and instantly buried by the other 10 posts that were trying to get through .. But they do have a larger site and a huge database .. I wonder what they do host the site on?? Its run by volunteers so I wonder if its hosted at someones house!
My favs are Ansin, Phantom City (Conquest) and the Kelly, which I never thought I would say as his art generally does not appeal to me, but his Escape print is pretty great, with solid coloring and perspective. His might also be the best upgrade from original OS to print, IMO.
The Taylor is a swing and miss, much like his Sucker Punch...both need another color or some air to breathe with the crowded composition.
Dave, I think $249 for 6 prints shipped is a pretty solid deal. Can't really go wrong there.
I agree with you on the Kelly .. usually Im not a fan but he really pulled it together on this print .. its not my fav but its not the Bertmer either!
Definatly a step int he right direction as far as my taste go.
As for the $250 for 6 prints go .. Youre 100% right, its totally a good price .. I was just saying .. if youre buying the set just to get 2 or three prints and think "Oh well I have the others too" its not worth it .. some of those will probably not gain in value therefore if you just wanted the Ansin, Kelly and PC .. Thats $150 and you dont have to worry about the extras and you saved $100 .. However, I suspect the Ansin to start going up and be worth the cost of the set after tomorrows drop .. So you will never really lose money, per se. I just look at it as I already have more than a few prints that I dont care to keep and Id be lucky to get what I paid for them. Why spend an extra $100 on this set just to add 3 more prints that I probably wont care for or be able to get rid of later down the road.
