I received my first Daniel Danger today, the elephant one. My first print (that isn't a 5$ shitty poster) ever.

Can't wait for the 'where do you go' one to arrive.

 

[LucidMomentum]

It's Payday. Which means, of course, it's Poster day.

Congrats! It's a hell of a first print. He did a spectacular job on it.

Hey, did you get any shipping notice? I picked it up on the drop and haven't heard anything since.

Tried going for the Warriors... missed it by by maybe 5 minutes.

Damn, that one went quick. Doing it in the middle of the week is rough for me. It would literally have to be planted in my office lobby for me to have a chance at it. It's fun to follow on twitter at least.

 

[Zabojnik]

Hey, did you get any shipping notice? I picked it up on the drop and haven't heard anything since.

Yeah, I received an email from Storenvy on the 26th, 10 days later it was here in Europe (sent via USPS). Not too shabby.

The other awesome thing is that I didn't have to pay any custom charges / import taxes, because whoever sent it put a declared value of 15$ on the tube. Is this standard practice for this sort of merchandise? I sure hope so, lol.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Wait.

The yellow border Star Wars print is the standard?

Not the variant?

Shiiiiiiiiiit.

I wasn't in a hurry to try and cop the variant because I thought it was the yellow border version.

Joke's on me, I guess. Do I still like the poster enough that the yellow border won't take away from it?

Hmm....

 

[Sushigod7]

Yeah yellow is reg, it looks great I think a frame is going to cover 1/4 or more of that if you really hate it you could always get a thin mat cut for the edges. I like it because it makes the title yellow which is how it should be.

I think DD tweeted that any order without 'where do you go' is being shipped by Monday

Cool, thanks guys! I've been waiting to see this elephant in person.

Relevant news from Daniel Danger's web shop:

With all the Danger talk, I just noticed he was actually selling this in his store. It's quite the departure from his other work, but I kinda like it. Too bad he's taking the modern art approach with the price as well...

Haha, I wonder if anyone actually tried to buy it.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Well Danger did sell a $5000 dollar random mystery box item a few months back. (The shit in the package-deal ended up being fucking rad.)

And he hasn't even opened one of the boxes yet

You have a link to what was in there? I lost track of it. (And I'm lazy.)

 

[Veritigo_X]

Ah shit, I completely forgot about the vacvvm drop today. More money for next time, I suppose.

Haha, same. I know the dude who picked it up was Odess, and I know he got some originals, including this one red piece that looked amazing.

I don't think he opened the actual giant box from Daniel, however.

Up

Grabbed a Graduate variant. Was always bummed I skipped the Mondo drop.

It would be really tempting if he ever put another one up

Congrats. Great print.

 

[Filthy Slug]

Got in Ken Taylor's Mad Max. It's absolutely gorgeous. The blue is unbelievable.

However, really tired of how cheap Mondo is with their kraft. They throw these posters on top of kraft with like 2-3 inches up top, making it super easy for them to smash up during transit. Deadbolt needs to show Mondo how to roll and pack posters properly.

 

[fallengorn]

So my friend finally shipped me the Crimson Peak prints from SDCC. Got them and they are f'd up. Check the tube (which looks fine standing up) and it's popped open like a can of Pillsbury crescent rolls.

Ugh...

At least my friend insured it.

 

[Zabojnik]

Any tips for uncurling prints? Carefully counter-curl using the tube like this ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPb-Zzs9fdE

... or just go the weights on corners route?

 

[Browny]

Let it out of the tube, leave it to rest for a few days, then corner weights. The OP also has suggestions on using boards (on mobile so can't quote without wanting to throw my phone across the room).

 

[ohkay]

Yeah, counter curling sounds like a recipe for disaster. I use corner weights until it's relatively flat, then I put it in a foam core sandwich to fully flatten.

 

[Sushigod7]

Don't do that on screen prints for sure could crack or damage the paints. Corner weights or if you have room let it out and open on its own a little then weights.

 

[Hagi]

For people who are attending Thought Bubble this year, here is what Raid71 will have for sale:

Hmm might try for that Akira print if it's not too expensive. Not really going for posters though so I don't want to spend too much seeing how it's my first time being at TB.

If you haven't been following the news, this portrait Ben Carson has hanging in his home is making its rounds:

Well, the owner of Gallery1988 has commissioned Eugene Kaik to recreate the portrait and will be selling prints online in a couple weeks.

I doubt there's much demand for it, but I think it's hilarious.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Almost forgot to put in my order for the Gabz Star Wars print. Not even the yellow border is enough to deter me.

In the meantime, I picked up the following from our Extra Life fundraiser this weekend:

One of my favorite games, and to top it all off, the poster and frame are decent quality.

It's not perfect, but the fact that the dev team signed it:

Made it worth picking it up even at a charity premium.

Just a reminder, Gabz' Star Wars piece timed edition is ending tonight at 11:59 EST:
Pick it up here!

Nice pick up Lucid!

Less than an hour to go. Get this or regret it forever!

I wonder how it's been going for Bottleneck. I imagine it's sold a ton with all the publicity about this.

3900!

 

[LucidMomentum]

3900!

Well, that explains the wait time disclaimer they put up for this release.

Hoo boy.

 

[commish]

3900? That's a lot. Glad everyone who wanted one could get one.

 

[fallengorn]

People love their Star Wars.

 

[IronRinn]

Deadbolt is in for a world of pain.

 

[LaneDS]

Less than an hour to go. Get this or regret it forever!

With 3900+ sales and the aftermarket, I think folks will have one or two opportunities to avoid a lifetime of regret!

That doesn't make it sound as dramatic though. Can't have the final countdown post and be like "Get this or you could just wait until later if you don't feel like getting it now."

 

[Risible]

Deadbolt is in for a world of pain.

You think it could do those kinds of numbers?

I am not one bit surprised by the final run count. Great poster for a monster franchise. Bottleneck did very well on this one.

Db is going almost full Sisyphus on this one. Rolling posters forever.
