It really is. Wonder how/why the hell they did it that way.

Can you just bitmap it or somehow vector it from the .pdf?

I'm going to play with it.

PS - what version of PS are you on now? I just upgraded to CS4 and I'm not sure I'm totally in love with it yet.

Jeep - if this looks okay, let me know and I'll send you my PS file with layers.

Having recently created the ADOPT image for Adopt-a-Pet.com, I am heartened to see how many people care deeply for the plight of our fellow creatures.

I must have signed over 100 of the ADOPT stickers at the Manifest Hope show in DC. Pia Salk from Adopt-a-Pet.com was there sporting the ADOPT “T” and giving out the stickers. They were in such high demand that she actually ran out. So FYI, the stickers and other ADOPT stuff are available at: http://muttslikeme.adoptapet.com/get_image/

As for the limited edition ADOPT prints, here’s the skinny on those….

Prints will go on sale on Friday, February 6th at a random time at www.muttslikeme.com.
(Please note, they will NOT be purchasable though the ObeyGiant site.)

They will be limited to 1 per customer. I have signed and numbered each print (limited run of 400). Prints will cost $200 and all proceeds will go towards helping the millions of animals in shelters get seen and adopted. Who knows, maybe I’ll even throw a signed ADOPT sticker into one or two of the tubes when they are shipped…a la, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory…

I’m glad to see that the ADOPT image has rallied such strong support for these animals. Check out adoptable animals in your area and other ways to help at Adopt-a-Pet.com

2 bills seems steep, but I have yet to get a fairey print, plus I'm a big believer In pet adoption so I'm gonna do my best to snag one of these.

Thanks for the heads up

I know these posters drop tomorrow and I've gotta work. So I have given my wife the assignment of getting one for me.she will also be at work so there's a good chance she might not be able to. So here's the deal, if anyone here gets one that they are intending to flip, or they somehow get an extra one, I'd gladley take it off your hands. Hopefully she will get one, but just incase i thought i'd throw this out there.

it might be a hard flip because of the price tag

nahh look at the obama one that just came out....

Gary!
Feb 5, 2009, 10:32 PM
My guess is that will be a real tough flip at $200 face. And though the image/cause has a HUGE audience, I don't think you'll find a lot of the hardcore Obey fans going after this strong enough to drive it up.

But what the hell do I know?

Apples/oranges. Anything with Fairey/Obama has a history of huge prices. People buy that stuff on pure speculation.

you mean people are selling it before they have it or before it was released?

so im pretty sure i got one, pending a refund on paypal. I got it yesterday at work, i sat down at the very second it was released and boom picked it up. I really like it, but have it listed as a trade on EBs for now, searching for the 2 I REALLY want.

No onsale info yet. You can goto OBEY page and they link you to another page that says to sign up for email notification.

Interesting that they didn't really adopt from a shelter.
