The Sowing piece looks great in person, I'm definitely looking forward to Scorch II, looks like I'll be waking up early on Thursday.

Well the release for Scorch II was a bit messy due to the serving host, but Dave did his best for sure. Congrats to anyone who scored, I was unlucky to have my cart emptied after entering in the Visa details. Oh well, powerful image, and I hope that another print gets released within the next few months.

Two short opportunities to purchase a print between what seemed like hours of Keyes forum hysteria and site crashes... Dave did an outstanding job in my opinion, when there were so many crazy ideas being thrown at him.

I'm really liking these new pieces that you posted Sleepboy. Love how the animal is coming out of the wood in the 2nd piece. I hope he plays with that in future paintings, very cool from a visual standpoint.

I wonder if the animal becoming a tree or the other way around... |

Me wants this  With an edition of 1000 it is even in the realm of possibility. The last (really) limited print I scored was "Tic Toc" about a hundred years ago. I didn't even try with the last two prints, as having all the others before snagged out of my cart again and again was just too frustrating [end of whining]. |

yeah my sentiments exactly. I love the idea of the book but i wonder if this size will really do the image justice? Either way I'm just glad it should be available to pick up

Looking at my WEAVING print, it looks to be the same size as the one that comes with this book. The smaller size does not take anything away from the image, and I am happy this is being released before Christmas. I get Josh withdrawals pretty badly, heh.

I got to check out some proofs of Sowing I and it translates very well at that size IMO.

good to see josh over here. welcome.
look forward to spending some time with this book - the quality is very good from what i saw at scope, but that is what we have come to expect from dbs / ltd addiction.
i'm happy to see that entangle ii has a nice feature in the book.
burst has a stunning fold out feature page as well.
