If only it was Phantasy Star II. Maybe he'll make one for part II.
I can't wait to see what other game prints they have upcoming. Golden Axe is pretty cool but I don't need a print from it. Streets of Rage needs a good print. I'm not crazy about the one they released.

Sorry, but not in my lifetime, not for video game related prints. Its not surprising that 90% of their prints still haven't sold even half of their overall edition sizes. the only way I would pay those kinds of prices for gaming prints is if the prints themselves were absolutely breathtaking, were printed on some of the worlds best Japanese Washi paper, and had edition sizes of 25 or less.
If I have to choose between buying a single print from Cook Becker or 3-6 prints from competing companies....well, Cook and Becker will lose out each and every time. Hell, I just got the first 4 prints from AurumLight's Splash Hero series and they were beautiful high quality 18x24 prints, were signed and numbered, and all 4 prints were roughly $60 less than a single print from Cook Becker.
thanks, but no thanks!

I think this company is targeting a high end art consumer. I found their site some time ago. Never purchased but I noted them as a company to watch just in case.

Yeah, it's insane. The worst is definitely their Bioshock Infinite pieces, which for the most part aren't anything more than screenshots, for some $250. Been eying 'Above it All' from Mirror's Edge myself for months, but at $295 for a 20"x32" I just haven't found it in me to pull the trigger yet. I will eventually though. I adored the game, and that image in particular just speaks to me.

That seems cheap for a metal / foil print. The normal release happened some time ago. I don't think there was mention here. Honestly, if I was going to get an Akira print this would be it.

If I didn't already have the Stout I'd be all over that.

The Stout is still king, by a mile! Love your frame-up too. If I had that piece I'd be totally content as well. That said, it's no Stout, but I'm satisfied with my Silence TV Akira print.

Totally forgot about that one. Also awesome. Did you frame it?

Yes sir! Been on my wall for a while now. Kept it simple and took the minimalist approach, much like the print itself.
