Until Durieux releases his posters, I picked these up. Artist is Adam Rabalais, from a private commission. Only 30 made.

The photo-realism of his artwork is stunning and incredible! Impressive, to say the least. Congrats on picking them up!  cool1

I got a set too, mandatory at this point for my Spielberg collection.  I really like them.

Adam Rabalais is a pretty good artist. Here are some of my other pieces from him.

I like them both, especially Clockwork, but Indy is better, imo.  Why so few printed?  They could have sold more.

I'm always surprised to have a poster that T doesn't have already  :)

Yeah, I like Clockwork Orange, but only if it's 24x36in.  Not 18x24in, which I assume it is.  

I think there are 6 prints I would actually spend good money on, and plenty others that I don't have but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to acquire.  I like to see them, I would buy them if I found them at a normal price (not a scavenger price), but I'm okay not owning them.  Clockwork Orange falls in that category.  I own close to 500 prints at this point, around 200 I really like, 300 I could do without.

Secured myself an AP set of the Indy on Thursday. Super stoked about that.
Also got the copper Goonies as well as his Nemo fish tank.

Great get on the Goonies print. I've only seen the copper version, but I think Kevin Wilson has done good work recently.

For some reasons, the variant didn't load at the same time than the reg, so I ended up buying the reg thinking that the variant was already sold out.  Then it popped up as I was buying the reg and I missed it.  But a good friend of mine ended up getting it for me, so now I have both and I can relax ;)

Yeah, I don't do metal.  I simply don't have enough room to store them.

I normally like Vance's work but that looks nothing like McConaughey. Yikes. Just my opinion though.

Phenomenal movie though.

I have to agree. McConaughey looks just way off.

I really like this design. It works well with the background. I guess the figure on the right (stones like) is intentional.

But of course. I am a huge fan of this film. I think it is one of the best out there for a Friday afternoon.

i came across two print serigraphs of limited ed. and they are both rolled against the grain, that is, the image on the outer side rather than inside, like a jelly roll.  Is this on purpose?  Does it make a difference?  Charlie?

if its a stupid question just dont respond and admire this image of a jelly roll instead

I've noticed this is a popular way of rolling amongst European galleries. Some discussion here from EB on this topic in case it's of interest...

I thought it might be more than just a coincidence.  They are both from the mid-late 80s, from the hands of different printers in North America. Sounds like the technique might date back several decades then.  Because they are on slightly thicker stock i did find it helped with flattening.
Thanks Tob!
