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 :)"

Good morning ChrisL
A fine and sunny morning indeed, after the fog has lifted.
ioioos. No hints that I'm aware of... very much wishful thinking. I guess the thought process is that the most successful of the previous artists would be most likely to be asked again.
I'm hoping for McCarthy for The Temple and I'll take any Tan any time.
It's a stunner Zort.
Email. I shouldn't be awake.
That's a cool post by Tara. I do love her illustration style. Her shapes and curves are sublime.
Go back to sleep Ray!
If anyone went to the gallery tonight (LA peeps), then it should be known what the next two prints will be... :) nobody will be let down... I promise you
Haha see you in a few hours, guys
Weinbeeezy, that's just cruel. Tell us more!
Haha I was sworn to secrecy! I just wanted to express how excited I am! No sleep for me haha
Weinbeeezy I think you have already given us a sign.
@ChrisL
Dan MCCarthy would do a cool temple. I'd like him to do the lighthouse. It would be Lost, without looking like lost.
I'm trying to think what other "watercooler" moments could be considered for season 6.
The Temple, The lighthouse, The Sub, Picking of the Cadidate, and maybe something from the final?
Eric and Olly?
Good morning you,all everybody!
Here hoping for a super cool print today! (or not, because I can only afford 1 and I guess the last one will be "the one" lol)
Any idea when today´s will be released? Are we waiting for a 1.08pm EST reveal like yesterdays? Or a late or earlier one?
Btw, all the yelling at Jensen and he said that he doesn't even control the drops... Haha guess all the yelling at him was for no reason
@Weinbeeezy
Some clues please!! :D pretty pleeeease
Tara's print keeps calling me....its saying "ioioos... what about that space on the bedroom wall they you haven't filled yet....go on....you know you want to...."
@ioioos
There are still about 180 something left, if you are not sure, I´d wait until the remaining 2 are released (but that´s just me as I can only buy 1. But you don´t have to worry about it selling out just yet)
ioioos... you know you want to...
How many Desmond and Cave prints are there left please? :)
Still tempted....
Good Friday To All!
@Zort & ChrisL - the sun is out here in that Massachusetts... a fine way to end the week and prepare for a most excellent weekend of final poster drops and series finales. :)
From my post last night: Thinking that we may possibly see a combo poster from 2 of the artists we've seen reflecting the use of mirrors this season. Flash sideways on left and regular timeline on right. Only time will tell.
For those traveling to celebrate this weekend... have fun, be safe, and see if you can find Jack's father's coffin - it still appears to be missing regardless what Alt-Desmond is "claiming."
@Weinbreezy - be cryptic if you must, but please more vlues. :)
Have a great day!
@Joe Stas
90 Caves
297 Desmonds
Last night
Repost due to lack of coffee & letters"C" & "V" being to close:
@Weinbreezy - be cryptic if you must, but please more clues.
Thanks a lot. Looks like I've got a bit of time to decide anyway.
Damn band practice getting in the way tonight!!
Good point Roswell.
Which ever way the next two go, I know I will end up with a least one more print now.
At home I set myself a limit of not more than 3 prints up from lost (or any single series) so that I always have a variety. So anything new will have to bump something already up.
The two "stayers" are Swan Station and The Hatch. I love them and they suit my house decor best.
Then I'm sitting on "reserves" to rotate in a third frame. Those are Love Triangle, Lockes Secret, Polar Bear and Ben Linus With Black Rock coming, and Tara a possiblity, its getting a bit crowded!
I'm moving to a new flat on Wednesday, with my brother, who also loves Lost. It's a blank canvas and I'm sure it'll be a ridiculous Lost-fest in there...
Good morning all. beautiful drawings Zort, Tara is a brilliant artist !
Happy print day. Again. LOL.
Newsflash! Lost finale will be broadcast across Europe at 5am Monday morning, to match PST USA!
Sky have confirmed for the UK!!
Problem is....do I have my Dharma party (just me and my mate) at 5am now???
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment_and_arts/10135874.stm
yes. yes you do.
ioioos.. I'm jsut the same. I had an amazing Dharma party planned for Friday!! agh
ioioos.. I'm jsut the same. I had an amazing Dharma party planned for Friday!! agh
@ioioos - didn't you read the comments on here yesterday? :P (I can't remember which article we were in though...) Andalone posted about the simulcast at about 3ish yesterday afternoon. :)
Woops! Must have missed that.
I'm not sure what to do....live feed with East Coast at 2am, 5am on Sky, or record it and watch in Monday night....hmmmm.
Live feed is winning....
ioioos, how do you get a live feed of the East coast in the UK ?
@Zort - there are live feed links to watch it on your comp. They tend to be about 10 secs behind broadcast, tops. I can link you if you want it?
I'm gonna watch at 5 a.m. for the finale. Gotta watch it legit on a proper tv in HD. It's worth doing right for the finale. :D
Yes, I'm going to wait until 5am as well, I was just interested in how the live feed was being sent.
It probably wouldn't work on my state of the Ark broadband connection anyway.
Oh man. So weinbeeezy meets olly last night and finds out who made the last two prints. I think it's pretty safe to say olly is one of them.
Also, jensen isn't in charge of the drops? That was a shocker, actually. I wonder who is.
NY Times on LOST's finale
@Zort
There are a variety of live feed sites (like TVPC.com). These ones offer a small screen of thousands of channels from around the world.
I use a new one called Veetle. It gives full screen live feed in great quality. It claims HD, but in reality, its good standard def. As good as a standard 350mb download.
I've watched the last 10 weeks live, full screen on a 32" monitor and I've only experiences occasional lag. Didn't spoil it at all.
In fact, there is a real kick watching it live. It feels naughty!
@ioioos
Buy tara.
Fly safe everyone who is going to LA, and good luck staying away from spoilers!
@Amy
That was an iteresting article, if not a bit bias against the show. I did love this bit....
"Among the best evidence that something new is happening with “Lost” is the fact that so many people, if their online comments are true, will be willing to change their judgment of the entire series based solely on how well the final two-and-a-half-hour episode satisfies their need for answers. Forget the first 119 hours — if you don’t tell me what happened to Walt, none of it will have mattered."
@Amy I couldn't disagree more with NY Times... ONE good season? Really?
ioioos, LOL. I don't mind not knowing about WALT. It's funnier to run around screaming WAAAAAAAAAAAAALT, MY BOYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
@Mark Englert, I do agree with the article that S1 was the best, all around, but S4 and S5 are right up there with it, to me.
Also, good morning all! Hoping for another easy, east coast drop.
I'm itching to watch the finale already!
Is there a decision for what time we can start talking about the finale on LOSTArgs?
@Amy I feel like Season 1 of LOST did a great job at getting people hooked, an incredible job, even.
Saying that, I think the further seasons, 4 and 5 especially, are amazing for bringing dense sci-fi elements to the masses hooked by season 1.
Also, I must say, I do miss the constant washing of clothes and sunbathing in the first season :)
The finale is simulcast worldwide! We ought to be able to talk about it at midnight on Sunday, right?
Anyone waiting to watch it just has to maintain radio silence, since it's their choice to wait.
Maybe Zort can open up a special READ AT YOUR OWN RISK thread?
I'm on board for a "read at your own risk" post after the finale.
I'm off to the gym - hoping for another 1:08 ET drop again today!
me too for the risk: I intend to tape the HD simulcast at 5am. I head to work at 7:30 anyway, and will be home by 3 (some perks to being a teacher) where I can kick back and watch it uninterrupted, advert free. I can easily avoid the web for the day. I think.
I will be going to a Hotel in a large town in NH to join friends from the Fuselage so we can all watch together. we will get there at noon, do a rewatch of sorts, I'm bringing fish biscuits, Lost gifties and what ever else I can think of. Oh kleenex ! Humm, better get lots of that.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you start a new spoilers thread.. at least until next Friday when Sky1 show it in the UK. I know it's on Monday morning at 5am but there's no way I can watch it til the Friday due to band commitments.. Please!
@Joe,
Sky one will now show it Tuesday night and then again on Friday night.
@Ray
Don't....tempt.....me.......
Thank ioioos.. I really can't watch til Friday unless I can sort something out :( Busy every night this next week.. AGH! Gonna have to hide from the world the best I can.
OK. That's my meetings done for the day.
I'm ready for a print.
Has Weinbeezy posted anything that could be regarded as clues to the last two prints?
I'm leaving the office in a few minutes, always dodgy travelling at any possible version of 1:08 !
See you all later.
Calling all poster buddies to help cover our friends in transit to LA. Anne, Ob FuSc8 about to board. Mel in flight now. LT in LA, but driving airport route to pick up friends.
Any help appreciated. I am covering too. This is bound to be an awesome print today.
I have SO much on this weekend, and compounded with the fact it's the first decently hot weekend in England this year, I really don't want to be tethered to the PC. My girlfriend is moving in, I have to go buy and make some furniture, there's barbecues to be had, and all the while, I'll be sat there thinking "bet I just missed the drop".
That Times article was pretty acurate, I thought. This season HAS on balance been rushed, but it was always going to disappoint - see the last season of The Wire, Battlestar Galactica, Buffy, etc. Endings never fully work out. I don't care though, I've enjoyed the ride. And I've thought there were excellent performances in all seasons, for the record.
@andalone, I'm probably going to go for the print, but if it's Moss or Tan, I have to keep it.
Hey--Has anybody else noticed that if you hit F5, it refreshes your current web page? That might come in handy...
me too. Sad to say, I only have one card, and I don't want to be cancelled for doing multiple orders. Otherwise I'd be all over it.
As long as I'm there when it drops I'll try to cover for someone as well as my own.
you cant get multiple with different transactions?
My card has been charged, so it looks like I'll get the spare DD. Anyone in the UK miss out on it?
Crud, I'm gonna be out until an hour after the potential drop!
On my phone I can see the print, but not BUY the print, argh!
@Weinbeezy- got your email. emailed you back....
@ioioos
i did -absolutely gutted
Are you selling - email me!
steve dot elliott2 @ googlemail dot com
OK... Heading home. Hope it doesn't drop. Good luck all if it does.
I don't mind if it drops, I just hope it doesn't sell out before I can get one :)
Morning all! DEFINITELY keeping my eyes LOCKED on the site today...
@Murgh
If it comes through. I got an extra in the last minute blip when it said sold out. Watch this space. I
@Mistersh0w
You tease! Is Mistersh0w in the know??
I want to know what Weinbeeezy knows!
Argh, I am in need of a poster buddy, this sucks!
Oh well.
I have to go out for a birthday party in an hour.
I will be in the car at the time of the reveal. I will try to bring my laptop with me so i can maybe buy.
Yesterday i brought my laptop at the soccer field to see the print drop :D
Thanks to Lisa for emailing me yesterday :)
I hope it's a 1.08pm est drop, so i can try for it before arriving at the party (while in the car).
Weinbeezy just made me nervous. I may end up with 6 total print (Smokey, Walt's Kidnapping, Stout's LOST, Danger's Black Rock and these last two :D)!
I have no wall space. Damn. :D
@Ray... I met manY artist Last night :)
Lol, good one Weinbeeezy ;)
Any clues on the release time?
@Weinbeeezy - STOP IT!!
I am really hungry.
@mistershow... I'm going to be shattered if my info is wrong... Want to go for a smoke break?
Do we still think its going to be a 1.08 in some time zone again?
Where are we up to?
someone email me and tell me what the prints are, before I eat the desk.
Me too... someone drop me a hint please?
@Weinbeeezy - you've got a heart of glass my friend... Now I gotta go rub my temple. *headache*
@mistershow... I feel like I'm walking on glass in these forums, I need to go see the light...
DON'T MAKE ME COME IN THERE!
Okay I want to know too! lol, Flocke print by Moss? good companion for his Locke, I must say :)
Please send me an email as well if you can, would really appreciate it:
arscode at hotmail dot com
Pretty pleeeeease? I´m a good girl *Shrek´s pussy in boots eyes* Ó_Ò
Hahaha, be patient Ben, all will be revealed soon... Maybe a bit of sun light will help?
@mistershow... Wait SUN light?!? Is this an indirect clue?
Great "clues" guys!
@Weinbeeezy - sHURLEY you can't be accusing me of revealing any clues!!!
I'm merely stating to Ben that it would be a shame to not enjoy the light by staying in his house...
Whoo hoo. LOL.
Ok I'm done.
i found the best picture of locke EVER http://store.drmikey.com/art/print_lockeinblack.htm
Ok enough. In 25 hours we will definitely have one poster, maybe both! Final thing I can say... These prints will not be interested to anyone but fans, which was good news to me... Purposely done so no flippers will be interested
I am really going to miss this.
Not just Lost, but sites like LostArgs, the conversations, the waiting, etc.
If you could save only one Lost character on the island, which one would you save? For me, it would be Ben. I know, I like'em dangerous.
I wish I understood these clues! But alas, I am really thick..
Hi all-
Don't badger WB you naughty children! Maybe Jensen meant he did not have control of how the site is working,so can't tell when they will drop.
In LA-very cool view from high up in the hotel of the city and a plaza below. I'm not a city girl- so I gawk.
Hope this one drops at 1:08 Eastern-I probably will be able to do that- but later will be out.
Might try for 2 orders if they aren't canceling-will let you know.
@Joe... the clues are pretty easy. You just need to find the LIGHT in the HOUSE in your brain.
I'm sooo ready for a print that REALLY makes me scream.
Although the more I look at the Candidate Cave, the more I'm excited that it'll be in my home soon.
And since Tara built it to be 'weightless', then everyone clearly has her permission to hang it whatever direction people want.
Man, I want the last two to be HOT.
If any of you Tan fans are interested, Acme Archives Direct, who has 2 of 3 Tan's Indiana Jones giclee's, is having a 30% off sale today. That makes these giclee's $105 each and they have free shipping. The promo code is ESB30 to input upon checkout (in celebration of the 30th anniversary of ESB)
that said-oo-sounds like something good!
haha.. thanks.. I'm really thick, so thanks for helping :)
Back!
Wow, missed a lot of clues. Something about lighthouses and hurleys and suns and....I didn't really follow it haha. Well we'll know what they are soon enough so I'll just go along for the ride. Hopefully its ET again today!
I hope it's a big print that says DAVID SHEPARD IS THE MAIN IN BLACK.
Since we're on a new thread, asking the question again: what are people doing for the finale?
Also, note that simulcast is NOT worldwide: PST is not EST, and UK cast is apparently timed with PST, at least according to what ioios (sp?) was saying earlier.
e-mail
If no flppers will be interested, then we all should be able to get one if we want.
I really hope it drops in 10 mins. Have a lot to do today.
I hope the final scene of the series is Jack eating granola with his son, and per Amy Lynn's suggestion comes to the realization that he is the Man in Black. Jack then ends the show with a really bad joke about cereal.
@UP, watching finale with my boyfriend and cat. We refuse to watch with other people who might talk. Also, going to a party, there's no guarantee that the TV will work, or that some spoiler jerk won't let loose. LOL.
@Amy Lynn: Understandable. Trying to avoid spoilers the last couple of weeks has been really hard to do. Fortunately, I have broken my friends of the concept by explaining to them repeatedly that I -can- throw them out of my home, and -will-. :)
I'm confused, what makes a flipper not interested in a print? From the clues that have been listed it sounds like this will be a print that we'll all want. If we all want it isn't that what makes a flipper want it as well? I'm confused.
UP- doing the Jay & Jack party. I probably am going to end up spoiled at some point-but that's the risk I guess. I thought it would be too much fun to miss and we had tickets to fly to LA that we hadn't used anyway.
Yeah, I think if the poster is by Olly Moss or Eric Tan, it's worth a TON to flippers, no matter what.
@Evan I was wondering the same thing. If the print is done by an artist with a following, and it looks good, wont there be high demand for it almost regardless of the subject matter?
@UP, I'm staying in to watch the finale with my girlfriend. I've tried watching Lost with a group before, but prefer just the two of us. I'm thinking especially for this finale because there might be some tears (from me) invovled.
Nah, Olly Moss is overrated. He's so on the down swing of his career. It's all just repetitive and boring. If I were a flipper I'd never get another of his prints.
LMAO @ UP. We should all be on such a downswing.
(did it work? Did I fool them into not snagging another one if it shows?)
Trust me, no flippers will want these two... Unless they have decided to start collecting artwork
@WB, the only way that could be is if we have two more unknown artists.
Seriously Weinbreezy--were these other prints already up at the gallery or something? (If so, I KNEW I should have dropped by there last night).
@WB
Did you find out any skinny on why there are 5 new artists instead of 4 like they said?
60 seconds.
Lame.
not seeing a drop... and I have this here shiny new copy of Red Dead Redemption to break in...
So... PT it is, eh?
oh come on...
Guess we have to wait till 1:08 pst... Darn
PST, me thinks
Sigh. Guess the 2 drops in 25 hours was already wrong.
so pst today and est tomorrow?
i'll be in the car going to Atlantic City, thank goodness for web-enabled phones
It'd be nice if it was up now as it would mean I could go out and enjoy my Friday night rather than sit here refreshing the dang page :S
@Amy L pst today and est tomorrow would be 2 in 25 hours, no?
The pattern has been PST, PST, EST... I hope it's PST today and tomorrow, with a final, secret EST drop on Mon!
damn it! this thing not dropping right now makes me nervous that if i wait until PST, that SOMEHOW, he ll decide to drop it between then. and it will sell out before i can get to it. i m just having bad feelings about it hahaha.
Eric Tan did some great pieces for both the He-Man and Moments in Sports shows at Gallery 1988 that didn't sell out. He's not at the Daniel Danger level yet where his fans will buy anything no matter what. Olly Moss seems to be a bit more guaranteed as his popularity is growing rapidly. But I think that either of the two will sell out another Lost print.
I just wish I could have had a McCarthy from the new series...
dagnabit. I really have stuff to do today. grr.
It's so cruel for Jensen to tweet at a time like this.
@ dylansdad. completely agree I missed out on McCarthy from the first run and really regret it. I was thinking of buying his print: Guiding Light.
Haha @dylandsdad I was just going to say the same thing. He did it on purpose, he knows his tweets are going to our phones.
whew! no drop yet... i can breathe easy... gotta get home!
UnseenPresence said...
Nah, Olly Moss is overrated. He's so on the down swing of his career. It's all just repetitive and boring. If I were a flipper I'd never get another of his prints.
Wow...what a completely ignorant and wrong statement. I hope you were joking. Olly's career is just starting and his prints are extremely intelligent and his simplistic style is very good. You can not like his work, but to say those things...completely wrong.
-charter
Yeah, I have stuff to do today too. I'm going to be unhappy if this is an unknown.
@charter
UP was totally joking - he wants a Moss more than anything and was hoping (again, jokingly) that his post would dissuade flippers from buying a moss if it shows up in the next two days.
I went to my framers to pick up some of my prints from the last run.. Walt, Love Triangle and Rousseau..
They all look amazing - especially the Rousseau one. I love that print so much.
what's funny is that when you rewind to our position a week ago, it was enough to give you a heart attack thinking about 8 POTENTIAL must-buy prints. Even after the 2 Desmonds, it was scary to think that there might be 6 amazing prints. But what happened is that we've just been pushing the "pass button" on almost all of them. Incredible.
Hey Gang,
My new interview with Jeff Soto is now live:
http://lostblog.com/2010/05/21/lostblog-com-exclusive-artist-interview-jeff-soto/
@Ray...ok good. Olly is one of the coolest people on this planet.
-charter
Plus he will destroy you with his real sword and Link costume.
I love that some regular posters can never fail to disappoint, by disappointing so regularly.
420 ... great interview with Soto, thanks.
Ohhh I just noticed the #ThankstoLost thing on the LostArgs site. Very cool.
@charter--
I love Olly Moss' work. I -have- two of his pieces (but not Locke's Secret. Why, God, WHY???) It was as Ray said, a joking statement to 'dissuade flippers' which we all know wouldn't work anyway.
No worries. :)
Well at least the awful traffic on the M6 didn't make me miss a poster reveal.
Tapping my fingers on the desk waiting.....
Ha, Charter, are you trying to go gay for Olly or something? :D Even if it wasn't a joke, people can say they don't like his stuff and this it's overrated without you jumping down their throat.
I'm gay for Olly Moss.
I'm lesbian for Olly Moss.
Ray, I've been enjoying the #ThanksToLost tweets all day, they have been keeping me amused when doing mindless tasks at work.
@RobPerrin
Glad you like it :-)
Maybe theyll do CT for once. That would be nice. Two continental US timezones left.
Bi for Olly
I'd go dutch with Olly
yous all wierd!
olly rules
his evil dead poster @ alamo
=AWESOME
when is EST then - in 27ish minutes?
@MurghBatwar, EST is long past. Chicago, CST is up next
lol If only Olly could read this now lol Dutch with Olly sounds good
EST time zone of 1:08 just pasted this hour, must be another time zone
HAHA I am gay for Olly as well I guess. It was all a joke by UP anyways so it is all good. I don't even think anybody can actually hate Olly anyways. If they do, we may be seeing the apocalypse very soon...dun dun dunnnn.
pasted = passed lol
If I had a Championship Breed horse, I'd name it Olly.
#Olly4eva
What are we talking about again? Oh yeah, new print today. sweet.
I was thinking next week, I can't say..... Sorry, I need the PC because it might be this hour the poster is coming out. Sorry, I need to watch LOST on TV tonight and stay up, sorry... Sorry, LOST has a new game out called OGR and I need to put in these games for the points. Can you play them 100 times too honey so I get more points ? Look, I made it to #2 on the game lol No I need to stay up to play it more... to watch ______ show because _______ from LOST is on it.... what will I do with my time now ?????????????????????????????????????????????
Crud, I have to go into a meeting. I should be back by :08, but if you don't hear from me, can anyone cover me a Moss/Tan?
I'm wondering if they are releasing the poster based on
the time zone that Darlton is in currently. Darlton was on EST
yesterday, in NYC for the Lost Live event. They are headed back to PST for Jimmy Kimmel
today. Just a CRAZY theory.
@Amy Lynn
I'll try.
@Ray, thanks. Don't sweat it if you can't. My wallet will be pleased either way.
If Chuck Norris had a middle name it would be Olly.....
@JR
That would be cool, but they were in NY for a few days, so that doesn't really work. Nice try though!
The password to the "football" is Olly
Oh and in case people were managing to get some work done today between refreshing the site - go to google and click on the new pacman logo. Yeah, that's right, it's playable. :D
Imagine the disappointment if tonight's print was awful... I'd cry.
I suck at Pac-man.
Oh wow, very nice article written by Jorge on his Lost experience.
8 minutes. Why do I feel this is a LOST cause.
I feel another 1:08 PST drop coming on.
Anyone feel like Desmond, but instead of 1:08 minutes we are pushing the button every 60 minutes ?
I don't know about anybody else, but I'm pressing the button a lot more often than every sixty minutes.
I have a LOT to do today. Patience wearing thin. I hope I don't get angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
