Remembering Jin and Sun 54

This print from Tara McPherson was hotly anticipated as it had been teased by the artist and then the tease was removed. It got mentioned again as definitely being the next poster, but didn't show up. Then just as people were wondering what had happened it arrived as the third from last poster in the second series of prints.

As with the candidate cave I am still amazed that as I write this it is still for sale so if you like the close up pictures then go to DamonCarltonandaPolarBear.com to grab a copy while you can.

It is interesting that Taylor, who sent us all the pictures here, chose to photograph the print this way up. Tara mentioned after the print was for sale that she didn't know which way up it was meant to be as it works well in all directions, however she had to pick a corner to sign it in.



What isn't obvious from the description onthe DCaaPB website is the ink that is used on the clothes, it is metalic and sparkly, you get an idea of it from the closeup images below but you can't fully appreciate it until you see it in person.


Then the signature, and just to add to the confusion on edition sizes this one is numberd out of 500, not 550 as the candidate cave was.

Tara McPherson Poster Creation Blog Post 370

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 :)"
