So less than a week after posting a blog about ONE of my favorite OBEY GIANT prints of all time, one actually rose from the depths of someone's collection and surfaced on Ebay - a common place to find long sold out limited edition OBEY prints at highly inflated costs.
Anyone want to donate to the "The New Dude Needs This Print" fund? I promise to love and cherish this piece and send all those who donate photos and updates on how "VAN" is doing!
ORIGINAL BLOG POSTED JULY 24th 2008:
Obey Giant, for those who may know, is much more than a clothing company. In fact, their clothing comes second to their limited edition art prints.

As an avid collector of the art work, there has been one piece that has been rather elusive and remains a bit mysterious amongst fans and collectors alike. The 'Van' print was released in 1997 and very few are known to be in existence. I've always lusted after this print due to it's throwback appeal to a custom truck trend - the ever cool shaggin' wagon!
If you see one of these prints out there, rip it off the wall it's hanging from and give me a call! Gotta' keep the hope alive!
