Are you talking about the totoro from bottleneck. If that was from bottleneck i'm sorry. We were told by the artist that it was 12x18. Didn't know it was 13x19 until reading your post just now.

For my personal collection, anything that is on the wall is hit by some form of light during the day, allowing it to glow at night. I have noticed that some prints glow stronger then others, so it does depend on the print. In the gallery, we have all the windows blocked off so we use blacklights to give the prints a quick charge. But blacklights are def not needed for your print to glow. THe only time i use blacklights at home is when i take something out of my portfolio real quick to show to a friend, instead of having to leave it in a room for fifteen min with the lights on and come back

He was pointing out that Cels posted it earlier, then deadbolt posted it again.
Great catch Trasher. Thanks much!!!
Just noticed, my bad.
lol
The classic Junior Member triple post including a repost of the same thing only 6 posts after it was first posted. Trying to steal Mockingbird's thunder!
Gotta be rough on these juniors otherwise they never learn!
Just helping you guys out, friend!!!
It looks like a clear case of someone who doesn't use 100ppp. Sad times.

Yeah it is. The print looks excellent. Was just grumpy that I'd have to wait to put it up on my wall.
I have a proper frame ordered now, and my roommate us buying the old one off me, so I'm not stuck with a frame I have no need for.
Minor nuisance, but I may have overreacted.

Expected one thing but received another, def no overreaction there.
Sorry about that. GLad to hear the print looks great though
For sure and #48/50 leads me to believe I nearly didn't get one, heh.

Those Iron Man posters are great. I have the Iron Man Avengers print and would love to get one of those too.

Martin Ansin does some really great work. I love his Avengers Thor poster and his Scott Pilgrim one too.

I hope i can snag one of those Ansins'. He's def my favorite mondo artist.
Side note, this is posted on expresso, think it's def more insightful on GID answers.
by lgc8 on Tue Apr 30, 2013 2:16 am Just got my Drake and Skiff prints in today from this show and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I have a number of other GID prints so I mostly knew what I was getting. It seems like a lot of people in this thread were buying/seeing a GID print for the first time and I figured there would likely be some confusion/disappointment with the final product, especially in some cases where the artist was trying GID for the first time. There's definitely a learning curve for an artist using GID and certain issues are hard or impossible to overcome.
1) GID can't make a dark background light up at night. Whether it has GID overlayed on it or not, black is still black. A black and white checkerboard pattern with the white boxes GID will look basically look exactly the same as a black and white checkerboard pattern with the whole pattern covered in GID. This is often a big problem with "reveal" type GID prints.
2) GID works better with lots of GID ink/paint and large areas of GID. The larger areas with more GID overlay will glow longer and brighter. Intricate linework done in GID won't glow long or as bright.
3) The standard flourescent green color GID works best for brightness. You can dye the GID other colors but the brightness is diminished by the dye.
4) GID doesn't double as a night light. It will last a couple minutes and then need to be charged again. Just tried an experiment where I charged my brightest glowing GID print (Martin Ansin Thor Variant) and timed how long it lasted. Got to about 15 min before I could barely see. However, I must say that I just used a basic flashlight for about 1 min and my Thor print is behind UV Plexi which does seem to diminish the charging/glow slightly. I also can't get pitch black that easily in my living room since I'm in the city and the streetlights do put a fair amount of light in through the blinds.
5) Unfortunately, most preview pictures of the GID element are typically the artist vision of the GID layer and not pictures of the final product in the dark after printing. Other times, the "GID" pics are actually done under blacklight which will show far more than just the GID. I do feel that this is a valid complaint about the representation of the GID but also know that the final prints may not be ready until just before (or sometimes even after) the show and taking pictures of the real GID in the dark is also not that easy. Nevertheless, particularly for this show, it's disappointing when the GID doesn't look like the intended image and the preview images aren't actually of what happens "When the Lights Go Out".
For the prints I bought from this show:
Drake Tron: I'm happy with the GID on this one but it doesn't look like the blacklight image that was shown. The actual GID layer is actually more in character with the movie as well as the Ansin Tron GID prints I already had though so I actually like the real GID better than the preview.
Skiff Three: I pretty much knew this would not work as it was intended per point #1 above. I liked the image and concept though so I jumped on the print. As others have mentioned, the final product really turns out looking more like a girl wearing a wet t-shirt.
Waiting for my Englert from his AP sale so can't say much about this one yet. However, I know Mark has done a lot of GID prints and I have or have seen a few of them. It's obvious he's learned a lot about how to use GID while avoiding some of the problems mentioned above and from the pictures of the final product I've seen, it turned out great. When it comes to GID, Englert is one of the more experienced artists with using GID especially for "reveal" prints and the effectiveness of his prints is clear especially when compared to an artist trying GID out for the first time.

Ansin confirmed both the reg and the variant have metallic inks, so it's the reg all the way for me.
Thanks for posting this. I was under the impression based on what I'd seen in the past that you could sorta "train"/condition the GIDs to work better typically but it looks like that obviously isn't the case. Good to get a better understanding!
Didn't expect to want an Iron Man 3 poster, but now...ugh. That Ansin is so good.
Pretty much this. Dude can draw his ass off. Print is ridiculous.

Ansin is one of my favorite artists and I have yet to be able to grab one of his posters. Since I'm off Friday, I will be camped out in front of my computer all day long until Mondo post this poster. After this one, I'll be done buying posters for a while.
No, seriously. The wife is saying "no mas", lol. Plus, there's so much more I want than another poster... for now.

The drop was basically paying to enter a stout lottery. Good times.

not really
I know. Sorry - won't make jokes any more.

I don't like talk of lotteries
I don't want it to be a lottery either. There were just tons of people waiting for two hours to "see if they got picked", so I compared it.
Did you score?
How dare you!
If I lose it to one of you guys it's all good. lol
It could be a rough one lol. Hopefully I will be at my desk in time for it.
Mondo is always a bit rough, she can be a cold lady or open up the world to you.

it's not seeing if they got picked, it's seeing if they are fast enough. The only downside is a 2 hour lag (in this rare case) from doing the drop to finding out if you actually got it. The result is still a standard drop, whoever was fastest won.
Had the site immediately cut-off and rejected everyone once it sold out, the result is the same, minus the two hours.
A lottery takes 2+ hours to send out the e-mails too, but you have zero control.
What was this for? A Horkey drop/lottery?
jstevenson
Sailor Stevenson
today's horkey drop on P&T oversold by A LOT. So if you ordered after a certain point, you got refunded. Due to the large amount, it took Mitch about two hours to send out all the refunds.
