Tara McPherson has created a blog post on her own website that explains a bit more about the inspiration for the poster and the creation process, as well as stating that part of the poster is printed using metalic inks which isn't clear on the DCaaPB site.There is also this statement which reflects some of the discussions yesterday about orientation of the poster -
".....The print can also be hung any orientation which I wanted to do to add to the weightlessness of the characters. Though I did have to pick one side to sign and number them :)"

@UP
Do you start to hate Olly Moss when you're angry? You're right, we wouldn't like that.
Scoutpost, that article nearly started the waterworks.
OLLY MOSS for JACOB'S LIGHTHOUSE
the web page is moving too smoothly to drop one this hour, I'm guessing no poster this hour
We'd like you whatever UP
@scoutpost
Nice article that - thanks
COME ON DROP!
....would be just lovely to see when I next press refresh.
why the heck do i refresh 2 minutes before?
Worth noting yesterday's print just appeared at the appointed time. Almost no blip at all on the site until it just popped up.
That was a great article--I loved reading about JJ buying Jorge a custom tailored tux so he'd be comfortable at the awards show. Little details like that show how the cast and crew were really a big family.
bah. See you in an hour.
is there a limit on the number you can buy>?
Back!
I think yesterday's print appeared on the site without too much trouble because they didn't do it at 1:08 PST. There's going to be alot more traffic on the site two hours from now--assuming they don't reveal it sooner. It's going to be getting hit like crazy for the last two drops.
it's one per transaction. I don't think anyone has had their order cancelled for doing multiple transactions on the same card, but it's risky.
Safe for another hour ?
@Murgh--You can buy up to five copies of the posters from the new artists, but only one per customer of the returning artists like Olly Moss and Eric Tan.
@Ben
Thanks - just wanted to check that if i got one and was quick, i could also poster buddy for someone.
And I was just kidding, by the way.

Just noticed on the Soto print that the island and light projecting upward could double as the shoulders and "neck" of a skeleton. Intentional?
Are we guessing PST then and I can go and eat some chinese?
LOST is on at 9GMT so hope there is no clash...
I'm having chinese too.. might go for it now..
So far, they have either been just after 1:08 EST or 1:08 PST. My best guess would be that be have another two hours to wait. But they also might surprise us--although Jensen gave us a warning tweet before yesterday's early release.
I'm going to be on a train at 4:08 PST...any chance I could pick up a potential poster buddy?
Er, make that 1:08 PST (4:08 EST for me)
just popped in to say that I got my new "Smoke" shirt from Go Merch! (daomoncarltonandapolarbear.com)
It's beautiful! I'm happy! I was hoping it would arrive in time for the finale.
Anyone else gotten anything?
I got my drive shaft shirt today, my Olly shirts and tote bag last week. So I got everything but my Black Rock poster.
I ordered two shirts and a tote last Friday when they went up for sale, got a tracking number that night and received them in the mail on Monday. Very happy with how fast they arrived--and with the shirts themselves, of course.
Wore my "Not Penny's Boat" shirt and had several people ask me what it meant. I started telling people, "It's a band."
One person (a stranger) just walked up and asked, "So then, whose boat is it?" I said, "Widmore." They shrugged.
My t-shirts are apparently waiting for me at home. Woohoo!
if it's one per customer for the returning artists, then there can be no poster buddies. It's fair, but not fair at the same time
I think you can buy more than one of anything.
Thx for the Jorge article, Scoutpost. Good read! * sniff *
At Times Talk: LOST last night, Jorge said he would stop doing his podcast after the show ended, or soon thereafter.
"One person (a stranger) just walked up and asked, "So then, whose boat is it?" I said, "Widmore." They shrugged."
hahahaha. Made me lol.
capostar. dylansdad was kidding about one per customer.
@Midday Shadows, Jorge has said many times that he is not going to stop podcasting.
Yes, I was just kidding about one per customer. Unless you are trying to score multiples to sell to me at four times the price when they sell out. If so, then I was serious.
Just out of interest, from the people who have their shirts already..
What are the sizes like? I usually go for mediums but they can often be on the large size.
@Joe, as I said yesterday, they run REALLY Large. I'm 5'4", 107lbs, and the small is huge on me.
Some have said that they run large, but XL fit comfortably. But then again, I don't want a clingy shirt.
poster buddies assemble...
@ Amy Lynn, really? He actually did talk about this at some length. It's possible I could have misinterpreted some aspect of it - but he seemed very clear about doing "maybe one or two more" once the show ended. Hmm. Can anyone else who was there back this up? JPL?
oh balls.. Pity I ordered the medium already.. Guess it's gonna be hard to trade these ones too!
@Midday, I think you're talking about LOST related podcasting. Both he and Sidekick 22 have said publicly many times that they will be doing a different blog/podcast after Sunday.
My Large Locke's Secret Tee -supposedly tailored the same as this set - is definitely BIG for a L. I went with M this time.
What time did yesterday's print come out?
I'm a slim 5'8" so I'm guessing I'd have been better with a small if I don't like baggy shirts.
Anyone from the UK got one through yet? If so, how long did it take?
Thanks
@Joey
1:08 ET
@Amy Lynn, Ah good to hear. He did specifically cite 'GeronimoJacksBeard' as ending , now that I think of it. Cool that he'll still be an online presence then.
Around 10:08 PST.
@ Joe Stas
Haven't got my Olly shirt yet...
Ah, they really know how to drive us crazy haha
90 minutes or so.
Long enough to watch this weeks Flash Forward and be reminded of what an awesome show LOST is.
I got the Skull by Dr. Romanelli in XL and it fits fine. I really like that shirt, plus it's a limited run of 324. I also got Smoke by Brandon Rike in a large for a family member. I tried it on and it fit, but I would prefer an XL. I wore the Skull to Times Talk Live: LOST at a local theater and it did turn some heads.
This is probably a bad time for me to be stuck on a ferry boat in the middle of the Vineyard sound. Lots of actual lighthouses in sight, but no way to buy a Lighthouse poster until we reach land.
Irony.
Also, If anyone is REALLY, REALLY interested in having two tickets to the very sold out PREVIOUSLY ON LOST show Sunday, let me know. Might have spares.
@Midday - Jose said 2 more podcasts if that. Checking in @ top of each hour... taking my lunch break in 15 minute increments.
moment of truth
Moment of truth won't be for another hour yet.
Another one bites the dust then.
West Coast bias is lame....
I just got my smokie tee (it came when I was out), I ordered it when they came out last week. I'm usually a uk L, sometimes XL and this is just right. I've got it on now, what a saddo I am!
Damn you, whoever is responsible for when the prints drop! Damn you all to hell!
Or...
Don't you understand? We have to have the prints drop! WE HAVE TO HAVE THE PRINTS DROP!
Or...
Guys, when ARE the prints?
Or...
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn about the print drops (while f5ing behind his back).
How can you tell a true LOST Poster fan?
Throw them a Dharma Fish Biscuit & watch how cute they are when they respond by hitting the F5 key repeatedly! :)
My 15-minute are almost up. See you at 4PST.
We'll be here JPL!
So I'm wasting time catching up on Lost Slapdowns. I'm surprised we haven't seen Kermit yet since there's a picture of him at DamoCarl's offices.
if you dont know, there is a firefox addon called check4change that refreshes for you, and alerts you to website changes. no need to sit at your computer refreshing. you can set it to check every 5 seconds, 1 hour, whatever you want.
Did anyone see the lost video podcast? Chris was wearing the new Ben tee, there was an I'm with Jacob poster, but also a weird calendar type thing with the countdown clock numbers thing in a box. Does anyone know what it is? I didn't recognise it.
Someday I will break into either:
The EW offices
Damon/Carlton's House
and all I will take is Lost stuff they have.
Then I will 'find' the stuff and get a nice reward for bringing it back to them.
Then I will use that money to buy Locke's Secret.
Yes, I make things more complicated than they have to be.
@UP, I have mad love for you.
I hope I can finally have lunch in a half hour. I'm getting hungry.
@Amy Lynn -- then you'll have to tune in to Supernatural next season when I'm writing for them.
(Sorry that was the alternate world me. Must have slipped through somehow. I don't have that job.
Yet.)
Ok, waiting for 1:08 pst... Stomach is grumbling... Need food...
I should have brought a lunch today dernit!
See--this is what happens when I -should- be doing work and instead am sitting with my Firefox automatically refreshing instead.
anyone else waiting on the entire Lost season 1-6 answer-to-life, answer-to-death, financial planner, bankruptcy-filer blu-ray boxset?
@clay
just installed check4change
What text do i need to enter - just the webb address?
@UP - Does automatic refresh work ok?
pre-order on amazon.
By the way, Damon and/or Carlton--or whatever intern they have watching us right now--you can all avoid any such theft by one of two ways:
1. Hiring me for your next show.
2. Giving me your Locke's Secret.
See? I'm not unreasonable.
@mistershow:
I'm actually using RefreshEvery and it works great.
@capostar - I've bought all seasons on blu so far, but I'm definitely buying the crazy-super-amazing-wine-bottle-replica-island-shaped-bluray-boxset as soon as they announce what it will include...
Sorry, meant to say "ReloadEvery."
thumbs up @mistersh0w... I'm not rewatching Lost until i get my own place, and set up a home theatre.
Cats re-enact LOST
@capostar - I'm buying a house soon and specifically looking into a man-cave fit for a giant TV and amazing sound for all the LOST rewatching I'll be doing!!!!
mrtibbs, the calendar deal that Chris White had is a perpetual calendar. The top edge has numbers that look like the countdown timer in the Swan Hatch that you can change to the current date. The bottom area had tear off pictures featuring one particular character that you could change monthly.
I found one in a calendar store in Sacramento a couple of years ago. It's pretty nifty.
I cannot imagine an adult man wearing a size Small shirt. I always thought sizes S-M were for children. Even when I was 130lbs, I wore an XL. Now that I'm 200lbs, I still wear an XL. To each their own I suppose.
Ooo, I'd like to see a pic of that calendar! Can you still buy em?
What happens if it doesnt drop in 10 minutes? Do I go on with my life? Or stay here?
@Ray, I know, this sucks. It's amazing outside.
@mrheavyfoot, cheers for clearing that up. I started thinking that maybe they'd do a folio/book/calendar for all of the lost art as a post finale thing
It better drop as I have to go out in 15 minutes. I've sat here refreshing for 3 hours.. ugh.
Anyone got a picture of a small or medium T-shirt so I can check the size? probs not but thanks anyway.
@Ray - if this doesn't drop in 10 minutes... It may become the longest day ever.
@Joe, what's your e-mail? I can send you one.
It's a gorgeous day outside and I really hope I can take my son on a bike ride in about twenty minutes.
sorry, Ray, there is no life but Lost while it's still going on. Your life can start next week with tears and a rewatch. But... Let me remind you that while rewatching LOST, life stops again for each and every LOST episode and moment that goes with it.
For those who want to do a rewatch:
LOSTblog.com Rewatch
Make sure you get on the mailing list.
thanks amy.. it's joestas at me.com
I'm waiting till after ComiCon to do the Jay and Jack re-watch.
@Amy Lynn
Yeah I just came in from outside because it got too close to 4:08. Its amazing outside. Going right back out if this drops now.
If it doesn't drop in 10 minutes then Jensen better turn off his twitter and close the gallery...til the storm passes.
k, 5mins... I hope it happens now, otherwise I'll be running most of the way to lunch...
I have to go to the bathroom. Good sign the drop is imminent.
@MurghBatwar
you go to the website you want to monitor, highlight the area of the website you want to monitor (if you want to monitor the whole page you can just do a select-all) then right click on whatever you highlighted and select check4change.
@UnseenPresence
the problem with ReloadTabEvery is it doesnt notify you when a change occurs, at least it didn't for me. check4change plays a "cha cha cha changes!" sound. perfect if your away from the computer.
@Ray - Sound like TWO drops are imminent.. ;)
@mistersh0w, thanks for that. Truly.
@mistersh0w
hahaha - okay we're losing it.
@Amy - little pre-s***-storm humor! F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5!!!
Wow. I haven't seen you all get this loopy since Olly dropped shi copies of precioussssss.
I'm excited AND disgusted, all at once!
ok....his copies...not shi copies.
It's delusions of hunger and holding in bodily functions!
i feel like i'm gonna buy regardless..i've waited too long.
Web site is slowing down... people are obviously getting primed... :-)
I think this is it, the site is lagging big time !
Major slowdown on the site for me.
This is it. Good luck!
Things are shifting around... it's coming.
Here we go
good luck!
haha. ok. what the heck just happened. did they trick us?
the site is DEAD for me...
Jensen's just having some issues.
stuck on "TYSON/GIVENS"
we killed it...
Kate and CLair... pass
I see Ken Taylor's name!!!
Ken Taylor for Kate and Claire
its up
I'm not getting this one. See you all tomorrow.
Things keep moving around. It means they're making changes... Just be patient...
Who's the new print by? I still can't get it to load.
So much for the supposed clues. Guess WB got fooled, too.
hah, I'm going to have to pass as well
O shit, its pretty awesome but I don't think I can afford it just yet.
It's Ken Taylor for Kate & Clair
wow i cant even see it yet
wwwoowww... whats in the middle?
Let the hate storm commence.
hmm... pass.
wow really? Kate and Claire? After everything else that has been going on?!
Ken Taylor for Kate and Claire. Cool scene, just don't know if it's worthy of any wall time.
Ken Taylor Claire & Kate
Cool that Smokie's in it... Not a big Claire/Kate fan...
Just for that I'm buying the Candidate Cave...
This one looks too much like a comic book to me. Much more so than the Candidate Cave, even.
A complete pass for me. It's just not that interesting visually AND not a great moment in the show for me.
Pass. Oh well, saved $50.
I think it's the scene in the temple in the middle.
Pass for me, too. Doesn't look like Kate OR Claire.
[[ FATAL DATABASE ERROR ]] Can not run mysql database , please wait !
Here we go again... LOL
What? No squirrel baby?
Pass.
Hahaaha... Ken Taylor does the Smoke Monster again!
It looks so good. I just hate Kate, and don't really care for Claire.
Finally loaded...that's cool it's a Ken Taylor, but this is a pass for me as well.
I love that he included Smokey in the 3rd panel and i really like the new Dharma Pit logo in the corner...but what's the deal with so many of the prints in this set looking like they came out of a LOST comic book/graphic novel?
...at least it's not blue and green?
Sigh.
Lovely work.
Hahaha there goes the server! Good to know we can still crash a site.
Cool-looking poster, props for getting closeups to look good in a screenprint, but pass for me.
Ken Taylor #130286
@Amy Lynn - The clues are all still correct... Just not for today's drop...
oh wow. BEST POSTER YET. at first i thought it was a Fairey poster. Ken Taylor. Even better.
Interesting Ken got both topics dealing with the smoke monster. Claire looks pretty scary in the print...I'll say that much.
But hey! It's new color scheme!
im 130284
Major Letdown....i was hoping for something amazing, this just doesn't cut it for me...
You can have it.
order # #130318
I'm assuming this image is a spoiler of sorts...Anyone else have that feeling?
I hope these are still available in the next two weeks. If so this one will look amazing next to the Candidate Cave print
NEW POST for the new poster
Sad that this means no Tan... *sigh* It's lunchtime...
