    Beautiful Planet of the Apes Poster

    This is available for sale in the UK and it is a giclee print. It is way beyond my rootbeer budget ($275? I can't remember...it was over $200), but it's so darn beautiful...

    1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

    I'm sure it's because I have a bad artistic sense, but that is a horrible looking poster.

    I wouldn't pay $1.00 for it

    Sorry, ........ just being honest

      I wouldn't mind this in my bedroom but my husband would kill me.

        I'm not really familiar with making prints of artwork but I understand that giclee prints are not cheap.

        A friend of mine is an artist and he told me that he has to do a minimum number of prints and is usually out a few thousand just to run the print job before he sells them.

          As much as I don't like to, I have to agree with Type1Kirk... That really is a poor looking poster, made even worse looking due to that fact that it's an APES poster... APES deserves A LOT better...

            Jessica, you can save that very same image, import it to someone who has Photoshop and resize it...download it to your portable drive...then take it to Keinko's or any other printing shop so they can blow it up poster size. The entire thing will cost you under $40. It won't be a giclee print (for that price). But is that really necessary?

              The more I look at that print...the less I like it...it's really not a good one.

                yah well I still like it. I don't like the writing on the side...but I like the fact that it's got a large anthropoid ape Gorilla gorilla on the shadow of a human skull.

                  Oh yeah...I didn't even notice the human skull silhouette until you mentioned it...in that case...it's actually pretty good.

                    AAahhhhhh!! Thats what the hell is going on. It is not immediately obvious why the Gorillas head has been cut out the way it has been and just looked weird.

                    Still not my cup of tea. . .But now I see where the artist was going with this!
