Decoding Rousseau's Transmission 335

Ok, so this is where it all changed, no longer did we have time to sit back and admire the poster, make our minds up, and then log in to purchase. This sold out in around 7 minutes and while that may seem like luxury based on the poster 11 sell out, this was the fastest selling poster at that point.

So is it worth the hype that surrounds it ? Well Dan McCarthy is a very well respected artist who had been rumored to be contributing to the Lost poster series, and if you visit his web site you will see the image shown toward the end of this post, which is not unlike the Rousseau's Transmission.

Anyway enough of Dan McCarthy the artist, what about his Lost Poster ? The picture below was sent to us by a Spanish visitor to the blog Juan Enrique and as well as having the usual assortment of items holding the poster down, shows the range of colours quite well.


A few people have commented that the DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com website picture does not do the image justice as the colours are flatter and more uniform. In the actual print there is a wider range giving more depth.

Of course any post about this picture needs a closeup of the speech bubble, which has caused a bit of a talking point around the word "Seul". In this excellent closeup from ReverendMilo you can even see the texture of the paper on which it is printed.

An example of Dan McCarthy's other work, which is not unlike Rousseau's Transmission.

Now for a couple of signatures from Juan and ReverendMilo:


Then finally we have a capture of the screen being used by LotteryTicket on the day of the poster reveal which shows some of the many applications and windows people have open when waiting for a reveal.
