Tomorrow should be interesting. Considering noone will be at work!
Patrick FAILS
Love it! ORDER #130324
Patrick's network failed :)
Interesting complement to Taylor's last poster.
This is not a spoiler - this is from Sundown when Smokey raided the temple.
not a big fan of this - the art is nice, if a little off on clair, but it's the colour - all drab browns. Stops me going "yeah". If it was JUST the middle panel, but larger, I'd love it.
Pass
I really wanted to see Eric Tan and Olly Moss do the final two.
I liked the idea of Ken Taylor doing something Temple related, but the end result doesn't convince me to purchase.
I think this one is too comic-book like for me. I like comics, but I don't want to hang a comic book on my wall
At this point I'm assuming nobody who was at the G1988 show last night knows anything. Oh well.
Can someone let me know how fast this selling.
@dylansdad maybe they'll collaborate on the last one.
yeah, not really feeling this one at all. :(
I'll have it as it is pretty cool but... not my fave.
arg ! what's with all the people posters ? I had to really study it to see who was who. I finally figured out Claire is on top. My PC crashed when I went to load it Urg !!! Oh well, it's a pass for me anyway...
@AmyL yeah, that's true. The "hints" given don't seem to be accurate, unless they are all about tomorrow's reveal.
Someone keep an eye on the quantities - I'll be very interested to see how this one goes.
Ben, I agree. The middle panel blown out would have worked better for me. or even just a shot of the temple with smokey blowing through it...hmmm...maybe i'll take a crack at that poster lol.
im shocked. i expected to see a much different reaction from everyone. this is far and away the best poster of the first and second series in my opinion.
Looks cool. I'm in.
I bought it.. I actually really like the comic book style and the colours.. It'll look ace when you get the print I reckon.
@Amy Lynn I'm starting to think so as well.
Although if either of them wants to email me directly and tell me -exactly- what they believe they know, I'll a) keep it quiet until tomorrow and b) be more than willing to confirm that they did, indeed, have the right info after the drop.
Once more, a complete pass for me. I just don't think it was that interesting a moment, I just think it's -too- comic-book, and...just bleh. I'm glad for those that want it, because you don't have me as any competition. :)
guys, the poster tomorrow will be awesome... this has been a sad series, aside from one or two prints, most have only bought one, or two anyways. BUT TOMORROW, just like tuesday, will be an instant sell out! do not give up on this poster series. it picks up in the end.
I think he did a grat job on the print, I just wish they had given him a different scene in the temple to work with...I did love how Smokey pushed Kate into the pit as he was killing everyone in the temple.
I kind of like it. Besides I was hating myself for missing Taylor's last print, so I couldn't pass this one up too. Order #130338.
Yeah, not the best....however I was a little ambivalent towards the original smokey and then when I got it in the mail......
I love the combination of Ken Taylor, the Temple and the Smoke Monster, but once you add Kate and Claire in there, it doesn't quite work. I would have loved to see the middle section expanded into a full design of its own.
0 for 7. Never woulda imagined that. I must get ONE. I think season 6 only is just too limiting. More meat is found in season 5.
Since we were told that Moss and Tan were included, and they obviously both aren't, I call shenanigans.
Never mind about the spoiler thing -at first I didnt recognize what what going on in the middle panel. I see the context now.
Nice to see Ken revisit Smokie -but pass, in favour of Olly's, tomorrow.
@UnseenPresence... whats your email address?
I'm predicting a very quick sell out on this one. This is one that Poster fans will dig, even if they arent Lost fans.
If the hints were about tomorrow's print... would you say that the artist's last name was more like something you get while sunning yourself at the beach... or more like a form of lichen that grows on the north side of a tree?
Make a guess, @Clay, on length of time to sell out. I'll make my own call--that Candidate Cave will sell out first, unless either flippers take this one OR Taylor has a lot of exterior-to-Lost fans (which I don't know either way).
@Weinbreezy --
unseenpresence at gmail
@UP, I'm pretty sure tomorrow's won't be a sell out either.
Who said Moss and Tan?
I never heard anything about Tan...
Today's release makes me really happy I decided to purchase the Candidate Cave a few days back. It's def my favorite of the Season 6 prints...Tara's is a close second, but I just can't see myself framing & hanging such a sad scene.
Can't wait for tomorrow's release! I just hope we're all able to get our hands on one as it sounds pretty freaking epic.
Easy pass for me. Very drab colors and pretty weak imagery imo. Nowhere near Smoke Monster.
I should add, I do like this, and I would buy it if I hadn't already bought 3 of the posters thus far(with another two I'm considering), plus 2 t shirts in less than a week.
BTW, as a side note, my GF got all her non-print related stuff mailed to her in literally one day.
Of course, that's because her work is about 10 miles from the gallery, but even still--that was fast.
@Clay, I agree that this is a gorgeous print, but the bar has been set too high with the initial prints. And now that there are $50 prints releasing everyday, the bar is set even higher with most people saving their money in order to pay for that ONE (or two) awesome print(s).
Actually... that Dharma logo in the corner of the print, is the long speculated symbol, that some people thought was for the temple. Is the fact that this is an officially sanctioned piece of art, confirmation that it really IS the Dharma logo for the temple?
@charter, you have never ONCE had correct information.
hi all!
am in cambodia at the moment and have stayed up until 12.08am for est drop every night ever since i missed black rock! and now set my alarm to get up at 3.08am here (pst equivalent).
got Tara yesterday and like the Cave so considering it too!
v disappointed about black rock since i missed JC too, back in the day
i do like a lot of the styles to look at, but more difficult to imagine on my wall! i do feel like last time there were more wow images - but still appreciate these last ones!
j/lostinlondon
I like the work on this and it looks pretty solid. I just feel like it is a little too specific and something I would have to explain to non LOST fans. If it was just that middle panel blown up, I would probably be all over this. So far Danger is the only one from this series I picked up.
I hope it is an Eric Tan tomorrow, I have become a big fan of his since the first run exposed me to the print world. Olly would almost certainly put out something solid.
@Amy, please tell me what I have gotten wrong?
-charter
Pass for the moment, we'll see what happens if it's still there in the morning.
DCPB listened. A lot of folks complained about the lack of character depictions in the 1st series of prints. This time around, more than half show characters pretty clearly.
And be careful tomorrow. Once all prints are released, people will finally decide which ones they really want and place a single order for all their choices. Expect a couple of the oldies to sell out over the weekend.
Cosmically Yours
Great to see Ken doing a poster. I had come to expect a Tan in this series though.
I disagree about the potential sell out time on this one. It's exceptionally literal to the point of being compared, multiple times, to the narrative comic book style. Poster collectors majoratively prefer decorative, ornate, gothic, or urban-graphic inspired prints.
This one won't last 4 days on Expresso Beans hot list, I predict.
Doesn't mean Taylor isn't an exceptional artist- it just means that this poster has too specific a taste/audience.
Looks like they changed it so you can't check quantities any more as well.
I'm actually kinda glad I'm not a big fan of this - i've already run out of room on my wall. And I know that I'll probably want to buy the print tomorrow no matter what. Anywho, guess we'll see! I hope it drops right at 1:08 ET tho so Europeans who will be out that night still have a shot.
It's J!
Hi J :-)
Midday... I was hoping for a Tan.
Lunch over & poster purchased.
Order 130342 @ 4:18pm.
My house needs a light regardless if I need to get a tan or be jolly to get it hopefully tomorrow.
Just picked up the Candidate Cave... Am a big fan of Burwell... I have his Bonnaroo '09 Phish Poster framed. Absolutely gorgeous.
@Amy Lynn, your right... Don't wait around for tomorrows print. We have all the wrong info
@weinbeeezy
If you wanna email me with the heads up, I'm working tomorrow during the day and need to know if I should plan on running out for any reason.
johnpaulchasemovies at gmail
Lets see Amy...
I said that Tong was doing 3 prints. I was right. I was told that they would be around $200. That wasn't off by much. I said that there would be another series after the UCLA event...to which you said no, can't happen because of what Jensen said. I was right. I told you all to watch twitter for artist confirmations. I was right. Amy, you even said we shouldn't go off of what Tara said on her Twitter account as it might have been a rumor. LAWL.
I have heard zippo about Tan. I believe weinbeezy. I have seen the last print as well and I think wein can confirm the color that it is blue.
Lets see again Amy...shall we?
Oh, lord.
you know what? If Barracks, Polar Bear, The Swan, Dharma Van, hell, maybe even The Numbers were dropping daily, rather than having a week to build hype to a big reveal, everyone'd be being picky about them, too. I've yet to see anything that flat out sucks - the quality is great. It's just that the game has changed.
Its another LostArgs Battle! Ahhhhhhhhjdfljfdasfdl;a
Who cares, we're going to find out in 24 hours. Everyone drop it.
It looks like Claire has a lazy eye and its really creeping me out. If I had extra space I'd totally buy this.
Me too ChrisL. I have to admit that's a little strange as his wasn't my favourite last go round. Perhaps it's because I would like to see what he could do, given another crack at LOST.
Also, because if he'd done one this time, the internet would've broken.
If you didn't get a Black Rock print, they can be had on Ebay for only about $20 more than they were available the other day.
@chaseter I can confirm that. And that there's a lot of pieces?
I just hope these make it back from Australia without being damaged. I wonder what it costs to send 550 posters from LA to Australia? Bet its not cheap.
All I have to say is there better be an Olly Moss print tomorrow.
Or a tiny little space on Melrose avenue will burn.
(I figure that's about as much as I can do myself. I don't have Burwell's power to make all of LA burn.)
Note: This is also a joke. I -like- Gallery1988 and am not an arsonist.
Well, not professionally.
I dont see any Buy it Nows for $80.
@WB, I only don't believe you because you said we'd be excited by the next two prints, and that nobody would want them other than LOST fans. So far, nobody's excited about today's print except one person who purchased it, and it has little to do with LOST.
@AmyL Unfortunately, looking through the completed listings, they are all $150+ :(
I know someone that grabbed an extra of this for another who managed to get one so if anyone in the U.S. is considering buying this later perhaps post here first and take it off their hands...
Ken Taylor ROCKS! 130299. Can't wait for whoever it is tomorrow!
@Sarvesh
I don't agree that the bar was set to high with the initial prints. As someone who is a poster fan first, Lost fan second, 13 out of the first 16 left a lot of room for improvement.
The last print is blue.
It also may not drop tomorrow...but on Sunday instead.
Is it me, or is Claire giving us the crazy Anna Lucia look?
It's going to take quite some print tomorrow to surpass the Tara for me in this series. Although I did like the Cave a lot too.
Hmmm. A blue print, dropping tomorrow. Could it be the island underwater from the season premiere? That could be cool.
Huh. And now another voice chimes in. Man, I just want someone to put me out of my misery, do a back-scene deal and get me my Moss print (if that's what it is.)
Would heroin help?
Jay Ryan for Vincent the Dog
What is it about Olly Moss that drives you all so crazy? He's seems to be more of a designer then an artist. Personally id be dissapointed to see him back tomorrow, as I thought Locke's Secret was one of the weakest of the original series. I suppose thats the cool thing about art, one mans trash is another mans treasure.
@AmyL... Today's print is just what Jensen said. He said today was going to be one of the best
@Weinbeeezy, incorrect. He said that about yesterday's.
@Clay, I agree--I'm honestly glad you loved today's print. It just didn't do anything for me.
Conversely, Moss' Locke's Secret taps into a huge fandom I have of old movie posters, so it remains my favorite of all of them. I can't speak for why everyone else is that way--but it's sad for me they are, because otherwise I'd have one of those 300 prints. :)
What's jensen's Twitter name?
Also, a Lighthouse print is not going to be blue. So it's one or the other.
I shouldn't say the last print is blue.
It is somewhere on the blue-green scale.
I only have a picture of it. It might be more one way or the other in person.
You know what it -should- be? It ought to be a print of something from the finale and it shouldn't drop until MONDAY.
That'd be cool.
Oh, who am I kidding? Someone just make magic happen and get me the print. Seriously. I'll mow your lawn or something.
LOL, yes, you totally have a picture of it. *rolls eyes*
@unseen presence
You are 100 % correct about the saul bass inspired art of locke's secret. That is def. What makes it the best of the series.
Amy Lynn said...
Also, a Lighthouse print is not going to be blue. So it's one or the other.
I don't think you really have any say in it...unless the last print is from you?
@Amy
What is your email address?
Thorsten did tomorrow's print. I'm sorry I kept it a secret so long. It's orange.
@twostep roomthreeseventeen at gmail
twostep...don't email a picture.
I have it. I've been going about it all wrong:
I have to kidnap OLLY MOSS. He's out here in Los Angeles now.
Once I have him, I can make him do prints that I like AND be guaranteed one of each run.
Now to keep this a secret so no one can pin it on--
darn.
You can email -me- a picture. I'd just like to see it. :)
@twostep
If you are sending out a pic of tomorrow's print... kinghpo at rock com
I would love to be able to decide if I want it or not before the madness starts
For the record, I do not take bribes. TwoStep offered to send me a picture of whatever is going on the website in 24 hours if I gave him my Smoke Monster print or Black Rock.
Oh man, I really hope they don't wait until sunday to drop the last one. That would be weird considering they have done it every day. Also, I'd rather stress about it tomorrow than on finale day.
@Ray Yeah man, i'm gonna be stressing enough on Sunday...here's to hoping it'll get released tomorrow.
@Amy
Lol....such a hater.
So what's the deal? Are you guys sworn to secrecy or something? Because, and no offense intended, it looks like some chain-pulling is going on.
@ Amy Lynn
I got offered the same bribe by someone else too.
Haha if that picture is getting sent out around then he must know the artist personally and I don't think he would appreciate it
UP, if you paint houses, you got a deal !!! Course, you'd have to be in NH too since it's not mobil lol
@Lisa--
Don't offer me a Locke's Secret print for simply painting a house in NH. I have lots of friends all over the country. *grin*
Okay, must get to REAL work. See everyone later.
I mean, at this point it sounds like a few people know exactly what's going down tomorrow. It would be nice if you guys just shared what you know because:
a) You've already leaked some info, so everyone knows you know something
b) We're going to find out in 24 hours anyway, so its not the biggest deal in the world
c) You have nothing to gain by keeping it from us. It's turning into teasing, which isn't fun.
So that's pretty awesome if you guys know, but it would be even more awesome if you could share this with the rest of us. It will make us even more hyped, I'm sure.
I'm game if it's a Thorsten print!!!
@TwoStep40 I'm also curious as to what's being passed around... if it's the flu forget about it. If it's a clue, please send. Thanks! :)

@Will - if there are chains being pulled, we should be happy no whips are being cracked.
Hmmm. Whips & chains. Didn't the forum have a period of time when posts where rated NC-17?
I'm not getting into it. No print spoilers for me thank you very much.
Night folks, thanks for your excellent company once again.
It'll be much better if we all just calm down and await the drop.
If you found out what it was, you wouldn't sleep...
sorry UP, the Locke poster was my least favorite. So I skipped that one. Funny, green is my favorite color but that poster was too little for me. The only one I'm sorry I missed was the crash. I decided way to late that I liked it. I got all the other three I loved. I have to say the arguing is entertaining. You really get a feel about how people are in life when it happens. it's funny really how it upsets some people when others know what will happen. We will all know soon enough. good enough for me. (and I'm sick sitting here doing this every day lol) dedication !
night ChrisL, until tomorrow
@Lisa - I agree with you about waiting. If I told you I know exactly how LOST ends, would you want me to tell you?
I can wait 24 hours to see a picture of something I probably won't buy. I am astounded that someone would ask me to give them my Smoke Monster poster in exchange.
@Amy - Why won't you buy it?
mistersh0w, we get it. It's an Olly Moss of Hurley and the Lighthouse.
Noo way Mistersh0w I don't need to know. I dropped out of one forum because they kept posting spoilers. The poster, I can take it or leave the knowing sooner. I'd prefer not to have to sit here tomorrow since I have things to do and places to go with my son but we shall see
@Amy - We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams.
also curious as to what's going around, if anyone wants to share
tomdio at djdmgmt dot com
Tee hee.
@Olly - What a ham!
@Olly, IS YOUR PRINT BLUE OR GREEN OR WHAT.
hahahahaha Olly, too funny !!!! welcome to the grump and moan club lol
OK, actually talking about this print.
Anyone have any idea how many are left?
Anyone think "Claire" looks more like Juliet?
@mistersh0w, I just spent $300 on an anniversary gift for my husband. Decided that was a better investment.
It doesn't matter what color it is, it is the best print of this series.
Haha, I wonder if he read all our Olly jokes from earlier
just want to say, for every release i come to the lostARGs strictly to read the banter back and forth between everyone in here, it's oustanding, only LOST could make me do that
i guess i should add my own two cents about this print, i'm a fan, but i'm no expert
I have a feeling the colors are going to come alive once you see the Ken Taylor in person, I'm pumped about it! It'll go great next to Eko and Smokey
Ok, I'm off for the night. Glad to have chatted with you all and see you tomorrow, same bat place, same bat time ( I hope) I'm out lol
wow - tonight got grumpy! I REALLY want to join in, and tell certain posters that accusing others of being rude, while acting the ass yourself, is the definition of playground bully behaviour, but I won't.
Oh.
Off to bed for me then. I hope everyone plays better tomorrow. And as for our usual troll - don't feed him the attention he craves. First rule of the internet.
G'night folks!
Well, the cat is all but out of the bag at this point...
Speaking of this print, I think (as I always do, I guess) that it will look really great in person. Ken Taylor's style is awesome, and this print is such a good representation. Reminds me of his Alien print, with the faces on the left and queen on the right. Love the monochrome.
Oh yes and I actually like this print a lot. Great composition. Ken is brilliant.
Totally agree!!
Can I just remind people to play nice.
If there is info out there please keep it to yourselves until after the print is released.
No matter how fantastic the artist (I'm not brown nosing honest) or print is we don't know the time it will be released so let's just keep our powder dry.
Right I'm just going to watch this weeks episode of LOST in HD on a real TV.
I don't hate the latest print, I just wish we had gotten a FULL temple print...
Claire is definitely creeping me out too.
I really want to believe that there are a couple of artists posting here with in jokes amongst the LOST poster community :-)
I think KATE looks like Juliet.
@ritedere The more I look at Kate, the better I think the illustration is. It really does look like her in that moment. Claire isn't as accurate, but the print still gets her feelings across quite well.
@ritdere, oh, that's what I meant. I was so confused I couldn't tell which one was supposed to be Kate.
The print conveys Claire's expression and mood well, even if the likeness is not 100%
Claire's eyes are very menacing, I think this might be scarier to hang on the wall than the skull.
The first 10 times I looked at it I also thought Kate was on top. The expressions should have been a dead giveaway I guess. haha
@ritedere, I guess so.
lot of reg's missing the fun!
It was nice of Olly to stop by. I'll admit, I got carried away myself. Just looking forward to tomorrow!
Also, I said this earlier but I do like ken's print - it's just I can't see myself hanging it up with the other things I have.
I really need a poster friend for tomorrows drop! I am working a blues festival Saturday and Sunday, and have no internet connection. I would gladly not only pay for the print but I'd also throw in a festival tshirt. Thanks gang , you can get me at jwyckoff1 at gmail dot com
Hi Olly, we met at Gallery 1988 and Kevin Tong introduced us. He was taking pictures of you and poking fun. Anyways.....are you the artist for tomorrow? If so, what is the print? Is it dropping at 1:08 pm PST?
Thanks dude.
Neal
@Neal
Lucky. Was this at the Twilight Zone show? How did the art look in person? I loved the preview.
lol @ Neal
48 and a half hours until Finale Madness on the East Coast.
haha, popped over to EB to see what people thought of today's print and saw this:
**by twilight77 on Fri May 21, 2010 5:41 pm
At least the Lost arg people are going at each other!**
I laughed out loud.
It was at the Master's of the Universe show. So, Olly, what is the deal? Answer the questions, brah.
Throw us a freaking bone here.
@Neal - I'm gonna go ahead and say that Olly probably doesn't know for sure when the print will drop, so cool it brah...
Well I think its pretty safe to assume its going to be dropped at either 1:08 ET or PT tomorrow, and if it continues with the pattern that would be PT. Theyve gone 2 at PT, 1 at ET, 2 at PT, 1 at ET, 1 at PT. So this last one would probably be at PT as well. But who knows. I'm keeping fingers crossed for an ET drop because I want to get it overwith on my saturday!
Someone earlier said it would be ET, and it was one of the guys who has been dropping "hints" about the final poster. But some of that information appears to be inaccurate, so who knows?
Tmrw's Print is going to be awesome. I can confirm with @weinbeezy and @chaster
Thorsten sent me a .jpg of tomorrow's print. It is SUPER AWESOME.
sweeeeeeeet!
@AmyL so is it something that only fans would want? That claim seemed bunk to me.
@Will, it's something only big fan's of JACK'S BEARD would want.
*grin*
@amy lynn can you e-mail it to me? jdcurtis at comcast.net? Thanks
I just want to see if I should wait around for it or not.
Ohhhh thorsten and AmyL can you send it to me too please! I just want to make sure it's the same print
Jdcurtis, I just e-mailed you, but see the previous comment about Jack's beard.
Hmmm. Guess I'll just have to wait, because now I'm more confused than ever! Here's hoping for a strong finish to the series!
@Will, I was making a joke.
Anyone who claims to have seen tomorrow's print is not telling the truth.
I just refreshed Tyson Givens. I don't know what I was expecting.
Hehe. I am curious to see if any of the info given by people who have "seen" the final print will be accurate at all.
@Ray - Withdrawals...
@mistersh0w
haha, seriously. when this is over I am going to have to delete it from my bookmarks so that I stop clicking on it.
I thought I was the last print (?)
Davide... Uncalled for
@AmyLynn - if Thorsten is supplying the print & it's for those of us who appreciate Jack's Beard... where's the Burma? Shoot me an email:
jlahair at yahoo dot com
Was that really Eric tan??
Davide.....dude....
Well, that was meant to be an ironic way to say to amy that maybe she can smile a little more :D
Me being not a natural english speaker certainly didn't help :)
Didn't want to offend Amy, sorry if I made you think that.
Smile some more :D
@Ray the profile was created like 5 minutes ago. And has no info.
Anyone know about how many are left for each print?? I really hope I can get this one eventually, its so awesome!
@Nerderific @Ob_FuSc8 @Lottery_Ticket @LOST_4815162342 & MEL in line for Jimmy Kimmel Live show tonight with Darlton.
@Nerderific aka Team Jack posting pics on twitter & has Ustream. @Lottery_Ticket posting pics too. AWESOME
And they get to ask questions!
I got my Drive Shaft shirt delivered today. Very nice. It has back print and I wasn't expecting that. GK x Lost and the numbers with the pig with wings below it.
Hey everyone. I bought an "I'm with Jacob" when they went up not realizing all the details of this second batch. I thought it was going to be crazy like last time: buy now, ask questions later. I don't actually want it, but I know nobody is going to pay face value for it when there are tons left on the site. So, if you want it for $20 plus s/h, shoot me an email. sumliber at gmail.
15 hours and 33 minutes guys
@ Davide - That was out of line in any language. Disagree with someone's tone all you want, but maintain at least some level of respect please.
I apologize for my tone today. I know we're all a little emotional this weekend, but I think coming to the site and saying "I've seen the poster and you haven't" is more than a little obnoxious, and the private offers to give out the JPEG in exchange for a poster from the original run, even moreso.
sumliber you should keep it, its going to sell out, people are waiting for the last one so they can buy them all and pay one shipping.
@pjjj5000
you got that right, waiting for the drop tomorrow and I'm undecided on the second print I will get at the same time to save on shipping. The Candidate Cave and Ken Taylor for Kate and Claire are in the jackpot right now. That could change when I wake up tomorrow though.
I wonder what else will sell out tomorrow. Guess it would be either the Candidate Cave or Tara next.
Wow, also don't forget guys - tomorrow night (ET) the clock will count down to zero at Lost U - someone needs to keep watch! I'll be at the UCB show, so I'll be missing it.
@Ray
I'm feeling the Candidate Cave will sell out tomorrow. Any count on how many Ken Taylor for Kate and Claire are left? The Tara print is an interesting piece, it may sell out as well.
