New Obey Art Print: Duality Of Humanity 1

Posted in Art Prints on July 10th, 2008

Wow, this is my favorite Obey art print in quite awhile. I have never been accused of being the world’s biggest Shepard Fairey fan, but I’ll definitely be trying for this. “Duality of Humanity 1″ has an edition of 450 and will drop sometime during the day of Wednesday, July 16. Keep an eye on ObeyGiant.com.

Very cool print! Lightyears beyond what he’s been putting out lately. Even if the message came from full metal jacket.
Evan PaleBird, on July 11th, 2008 at 7:32 am Said:

this one is nice. the illustration feels very loose compared to most of the other prints.
Tool, on July 11th, 2008 at 8:57 am Said:

“Even if the message…” — too funny.

Will definitely be tryin’ to get me one-a these. Really nice to see a break from Obama/Rock posters.

Would have loved something less on the nose in the year 2008.
SACHA, on July 12th, 2008 at 5:34 pm Said:

This is where he took the image from - Pretty famous duality photo.
Still its not quiet a photoshop steal.

Jennifer C, on July 13th, 2008 at 7:21 am Said:

That photograph is when the duality was clever. Maybe he’s going for the times haven’t changed idea - but they have…there isn’t a draft and the young populous won’t care much until there is. Make it matter to people on the individual level and then they’ll do something. Till then…this is just a sad memory.
Brock b, on July 14th, 2008 at 11:01 am Said:

I really love this print. When i saw it i just knew i had to have it lol. its alot different than the boring prints hes been doing lately.
Shapps, on July 16th, 2008 at 9:15 am Said:

So I’ve tried to get a number of his releases. Seems like once they come out, the site just times out endlessly until they are sold out. There any tricks to getting in aside from just hammering the site?
Brock b, on July 16th, 2008 at 10:38 am Said:

ya shapps..im trying to get on right now and it is going utterly slow..and ive been waiting for this print since it was posted…
are there any secrets?
Shapps, on July 16th, 2008 at 12:17 pm Said:

yeah I’ve been refreshing the site for the last few hours, so far it doesn’t look like its been put up. I can occasionally get it to load…. hopefully one of those times I’ll be able to get in and pick one up.

This is for sure one of the better prints hes done in a long while
i think, on July 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm Said:

i think obey need s a bigger fucking server. its almost not worth the hassle anymore, remember when you could just randomly go on the site and there was a whole bunch of posters available. the good old days
Shapps, on July 16th, 2008 at 1:25 pm Said:

Looks like its still not released. Anyone seen it be this late in the day for one of these to drop?
i think, on July 16th, 2008 at 2:18 pm Said:

I haven’t seen or heard anything. I’m blind and deaf. And I cant seem to get on the obey site without running into mad problems. Congratulations to those 350 people that attempt to log in at the exact second there are being posted. I’m gonna keep trying and checking back here for status
Shapps, on July 16th, 2008 at 2:38 pm Said:

I keep trying and have been for the last 6 hours.

So far its not been released. I last able to see the store about 5 minutes ago.

So annoying. I really hope this gets released before too long so I can stop being chained to my desk
Benny Boy, on July 16th, 2008 at 4:22 pm Said:

Still no sign of this print. This is insane. 6 hours and counting. I totally agree with i think. It was much easier back in the day to complete a transaction about 2 minutes. Oh, and how about deleting all of the sold out prints off the store page???
Brock b, on July 16th, 2008 at 4:42 pm Said:

ive been trying to get it since 10 this morning and its almost 8… it started to get bad around 12:30-1: and now its . still pretty bad but not as bad.. i think people are giving up.. and its not up for sale im pretty angry
Shapps, on July 16th, 2008 at 5:04 pm Said:

yeah this is pretty lame. I know I am going to be pissed if I end up spending 10 hours trying to get one and end up not being able to cause of the site timing out for everyone getting them to put on ebay
jho, on July 16th, 2008 at 5:21 pm Said:

If he waits til like 5 mins before 12 im gonna flip, and i hate ebayers….
Brock b, on July 16th, 2008 at 5:34 pm Said:

ya i hate the ebayers..
this art isnt made for people to buy and resell for their income lol.. why else would shepard sell it for 35-50$? he could sell each print for atleast 85$ and people would buy them.. they would still sell out
and the website is getting wayy faster i think its normal now but the print isnt up for sale.
i dont know im not waiting much longer
Aj, on July 16th, 2008 at 5:36 pm Said:

6:30 still no print what’s going on here
Shapps, on July 16th, 2008 at 5:36 pm Said:

I dont know if its showing up or not, but yeah, I think after 10 hours, people are giving up….
Brock b, on July 16th, 2008 at 5:40 pm Said:

bleh lol.. the last check im giving is at 9 then im taking shower and going to bed lol.. cuz ive got football at like 6 in morning
BIg B, on July 16th, 2008 at 5:47 pm Said:

This is crazy, the site is dead now, maybe thats what he was looking for. but come on already!
Brock b, on July 16th, 2008 at 5:53 pm Said:

anyone hear anything
Shapps, on July 17th, 2008 at 7:17 am Said:

I waited till about half past midnight before giving up and going to bet. Woke up to find its still not released. Either the date is wrong or maybe it is not a web release…
jho, on July 17th, 2008 at 7:26 am Said:

I dunno this is frustrating though lol i woke up like 4 times last night to refresh my computer and of course nothing my boy has close ties to sheps crew so im gonna call him today and get the scoop on this print. I’ll let you know how that goes… until then maybe it’ll be released
Tom W, on July 17th, 2008 at 7:37 am Said:

Word on the street is that they had some server issues yesterday and weren’t able to get them posted. So, hopefully today. Also heard rumors that it might not go up until tomorrow. This is kind of lame. There were people who stayed up all night refreshing. Perhaps they could have at least communicated something on the homepage.
Shapps, on July 17th, 2008 at 8:50 am Said:

Site is getting hammered again…

After the massive amount of time I put in yesterday for this I’m really hoping I can manage to pick one of these up.

Anyone know if it dropped yet?
sacha, on July 17th, 2008 at 10:13 am Said:

11.11am PST - Still not up

I woke to bottle feed my kids last night and with my toe kept refreashing - My wife thought I was a hero for wanting to feed the kids.

Not up but sites getting heavy traffic.

Any inside news

PS Mitch - can you repost this shepard onto todays page as its far back to hunt to leave and read notes and there might be some inside info here.
Thanks
jho, on July 17th, 2008 at 10:44 am Said:

today at 3 pst, lets see what happens
Brock b, on July 17th, 2008 at 11:33 am Said:

well then lol.. .. .still not up
Wait for it . . . Wait for it . . ., on July 17th, 2008 at 12:25 pm Said:

Sheesh. A print from Shep actually moves me enough to buy and now this.
Guru, on July 17th, 2008 at 2:16 pm Said:

still nothing at 6:15EST — where is the Duality of Humanity poster?
Mike, on July 17th, 2008 at 2:24 pm Said:

Anyone have any luck yet?
DONDI, on July 17th, 2008 at 2:37 pm Said:

SERIOUSLY…..HAS ANYONE GOTTEN THROUGH?

This is PISS !!!!!!
Shapps, on July 17th, 2008 at 2:46 pm Said:

3:45 and last I was able to get in (about 3:30) it was still not up. Now I am getting unable to connect other than the store unavailable or the long time outs it usually does. Think we may have killed the eff out of the server.
kini, on July 17th, 2008 at 3:01 pm Said:

still not up
Ian, on July 17th, 2008 at 3:02 pm Said:

4pm PST and still nothing!! Whats going on here??
Aj, on July 17th, 2008 at 3:08 pm Said:

4:05 And still no print. wrong again he was.
DONDI, on July 17th, 2008 at 3:09 pm Said:

What a tease….

This is LAMO….
Shapps, on July 17th, 2008 at 3:22 pm Said:

yeah 20 after, just got in, print wasn’t there. Wonder what the deal is….
Shapps, on July 17th, 2008 at 4:08 pm Said:

Its after 5 and its still not up. I’m guessing what ever problem they had yesterday that prevented them from putting it up is still plaguing them.
Brian, on July 17th, 2008 at 4:45 pm Said:

On the homepage:

Unfortunately, we were unable to release the Duality print today due to some trouble with our site but we are rescheduling the release for tomorrow (7/17) in the afternoon around 3pm PST. Sorry for the delay and thanks for the support.

posted July 15, 2008
Shapps, on July 17th, 2008 at 4:51 pm Said:

Yeah they posted that earlier today, which means it should have been on the site 3 hours ago as today is the 17th
SACHA, on July 17th, 2008 at 5:01 pm Said:

Reading on Expresso they say that the servers kaput and that 100% will not be up until tomorow. That was just a post by someone so its not verified. Still its 6pm PST and no show of the print and they are on the west coast and will go hm now - so I expect again its tomorrow

Can this poster be reposted at the front so I dont have to search and can keep touch quickly ?
Thanks
Sacha
Tom W, on July 17th, 2008 at 5:10 pm Said:

Bookmarks tend to work well.
Shapps, on July 17th, 2008 at 5:23 pm Said:

Would be nice for them to put an update on the main page to let us know whats going on
Robbie, on July 17th, 2008 at 6:20 pm Said:

Its pretty easy to click on the Obey tag on the right
Dondi, on July 17th, 2008 at 6:25 pm Said:

F-THIS POSTER……
i think, on July 18th, 2008 at 10:52 am Said:

Lame ass shit. Nada, Nothing, No information what so ever.

At least he keeps his fans in mind instead of just rolling out poster after poster. Oh wait . . .
Brock B, on July 18th, 2008 at 11:50 am Said:

shepard is rude lol
Ian, on July 18th, 2008 at 2:09 pm Said:

Regardless of how incredibly LAME this situation is, I still want one! Has anyone heard anything about when we can expect to actually see this thing posted?? C’MON SHEP!!!
Brock b, on July 18th, 2008 at 2:24 pm Said:

Brock b, on July 19th, 2008 at 9:34 am Said:

IAN, on July 19th, 2008 at 9:49 am Said:

The SUBMIT ORDER button doesn’t WORK!!!! WHAT????
Felipe, on July 19th, 2008 at 9:58 am Said:

When I hit the SUBMIT ORDER it took a long time but finally went. I think the site is still having issues best of luck anybody know how many of these there are ?
CJ, on July 19th, 2008 at 10:28 am Said:

Just awesome, after an hour and a half of trying and getting to the final screen 3 times, it sold out.
Ian, on July 19th, 2008 at 11:03 am Said:

I didn’t get mine because I didn’t have a paypal express token! What the hell is that?? I’ve never used paypal express or needed a token before. Can someone shed some light on what I might have done wrong??
Jim, on July 19th, 2008 at 1:33 pm Said:

@Sacha,

you DO know that not having this on the front page will make prints easier to get for you, right? Asking them to bump it to the top makes it more difficult for everyone.
Niko, on July 19th, 2008 at 2:10 pm Said:

Stoked to have gotten one of these! Glad the last 4 days wasn’t a complete waste:)
jon, on July 19th, 2008 at 3:46 pm Said:

that’s just awsome!!! print SOLD OUT to some people that just want to flip it on ebay!! i of course did not get one even though i can appriciate different art.
Brock b, on July 19th, 2008 at 9:37 pm Said:

some idiots are already selling them on ebay..
what happened to people that really care about the art? that understand it and they think its priceless? im sick of these people buying the art for 35 dollars that all of us deserve that care about it and we dont get it. Then they go and sell it for quadruple what they bought it for.
jon, on July 19th, 2008 at 9:46 pm Said:

$800??? nice…..
Brock b, on July 19th, 2008 at 9:55 pm Said:

ya i saw that one 800 dollars!. and one for 400 and 600 lol
sickening
CJ, on July 19th, 2008 at 9:56 pm Said:

What a bunch of assholes. Waited for days to try and get this and got screwed. Oh well, guess I can get it for 1,500 on ebay.
Brock b, on July 19th, 2008 at 10:04 pm Said:

SACHA, on July 20th, 2008 at 9:04 am Said:

Dam - This is a large run as well - Fricking ebayers - Also Josh Keyes is up for 3K !!!!

Wait - let the heat wear off on this and if you still really want it then pick it up in 1 year at $200.
Robbie, on July 20th, 2008 at 10:51 am Said:

If anyone pays $600 for this they are just stupid. The price is only going to go down.
EMSLOKOSTER, on July 20th, 2008 at 11:12 am Said:
