Fuck this has already been discussed in the original thread...


1. You're supporting a sick photog from the skiing industry
2. These aren't mass-produced - they're limited
3. No company logos of any sort on it - all you see is Casabon, and the signatures (if you ask for them )
4. The thing is massive at 24 x 36

i don't really know much about paper either (i don't know who does haha) but it probably means like the quality of it. its probably printed on really nice paper / material.

200mm thickness lawl

the only thing you said that somewhat justifies the price is the first one. They're limited? Sweet. Doesn't mean its worth 30 bucks. What do logos have to do with anything? 2 feet by 3 feet isnt that big.

^and emmitt, no one is forcing you to buy it. i think it sick, and worth the money. i don't have a lot of extra cash, you probably don't either, but your supporting felix and phil. this is a professional photo, not something downloaded off the internet.

Wow, thank you to all those that have ordered a poster... or two!

I just saw the proof print today and it looks amazing. The proof is a printed test sample, that you approve the print quality before printing the whole batch and make sure colours are all good and such...

The printer will deliver in exactly one week from now. I'll start shipping Options 1 & 2 at that moment. Phil Casabon returns home, from a trip, on September 13th. He'll only be able to sign Options 3 & 4 then so I'll only be shipping after IF3 (really sorry about late shipping).

I see comments about the poster being expensive. You're right, it is expensive compared to free posters given by ski companies to promote their brand. They have hundreds of thousands of marketing dollars to promote themselves and give out posters with their logos. Sometimes they use a great image and sometimes they don't. Sometimes they're logo is subtle and most of the time it isn't.

I only want to offer an option to those who wish to have a great image... for the sake of the image itself and not the whole marketing campaign attached to 99% of the posters on the market. It's an expensive item because it is expensive to print, period.

Anyways, I'm stoked to do this project and you guys are supporting it!

Sincerely,
Felix.

its the quality, the higher the number the better it is. it just means its nice paper.

its the same thing for clothing/outerwear, like 10k, 20k etc. or it will say a certain number of mm of insulation.

its just the quality
