amaninjapan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 On 05/02/2017 at 2:41 PM, The Holographic Universe said: 23inchesX16inches Not entirely true. The two Tokyo "dragon" lithos are noticeably smaller than the rest of the Japan tour lithos. They're 23 x 16 yes, but the four 'proper' lithos (Osaka skeleton, Kobe samurai, Yokohama skull and Tokyo Godzilla) are 24 x 18. Why are they a different size? Why are all the lithos in numbers in relative size to the venue capacity, except for the dragon lithos? (One of the dragon lithos was x/500 but the other was x/1000) ... I don't have answers for these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaninjapan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 It's really so strange that the kiwi and godzilla lithos are done by the same guy that did the Kobe samurai, Osaka skeleton and Yokohama skull lithos... completely different style. One group looks amazing and the other looks like straight trash (in comparison) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Tobias currently then I count eight more skulls which does sound about the right figure for the other errant 'Nugnr' personae. You would have thought the Kiwis would have had a Rugby/All-Black themed poster, wouldn't you? A skeleton rugby team perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I just went through the artist's instagram and downloaded all the jpgs. Some really awesome stuff. Cincinnati and Kobe are my favorites, and I'm willing to bet those are the two most expensive. I met a Chinese guy in Yokohama who went to all 5 Japan shows. He got there early, then paid people in the VIP line to buy him shit before the rest of of us could get in. Sneaky and certainly frowned upon, but apparently he had the extra cash to throw around and it worked. He told me he'd sell me or trade one of his five Kobe lithos, but I couldn't find him at the Tokyo show. (I didn't really think I had much of a chance anyway.) But I guess that's the closest I came to owning a Kobe. I'm very pleased with my blue dragon Tokyo and Godzilla Tokyo. And I still quite like the Yokohama design too. It's really subtle, but there ARE small cues there about Japan...the fan unfolded between the skulls, and the cherry blossoms (sakura.) It's similar to that Canadian one with skulls and snakes that nobody seemed to like, but I thought that one was cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah someone had posted that and I asked them to post an image. However I think now they were referring to the one that came with the VIP package.

Shockingly, I can understand people paying 1500 for mint, but paying 1000 for creases or flaws? At least for me, I don't think I could justify it I know a lot of litho/poster wear and tear is impossible to notice once it's flattened out and behind glass... but it'd be like Edgar Allen Poe's Tell-Tale Heart for me... I'd always know it's there, hiding behind the glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fevah Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Mine has a few marks at the bottom from the rubber band that was on it and each corner has a slight peel that annoys me. Flattened you cant tell though so i'll get by. Got it flattening out now on my table under glass from another frame that was too small. Need to get a decent one soon before either kids or animals damage it. Still considering it was pouring with rain I got lucky with the gate delay and my mate ran back to the car with his and mine and we didnt have to deal with that problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that's what happens when you combine great artwork (arguably the best of the tour) with ridiculously low numbers (150) and it being a relatively obscure venue...
