Your right Bosco!
I was surprised about the price too as I mention this on another thread. I'm just waiting for mine when it comes in the mail.
The shop is always down somedays but sometimes its up on the weekends, speaking from my experience only.
IAF! Anyone know the size of the Litho?

one question. I've seen this advertised as a screenprint and as a litho. Now I know saying litho is basically just a fancy way of saying a poster. Is this a screenprint or what? I mean for the price I'm assuming "litho". But on Kate Gibbs blog you get the impression that it is a screenprint.

It's easy to confuse the 2 as the finished textures of posters and lithographs are "flat", but lithographs are not posters, nor is it a fancy way of saying poster. Screen prints (serigraphs) are similar in process to lithos but not the same and neither are their end results. The production process is totally different, the term 'serigraph' or 'lithograph' is used to distinguish between a commercially produced poster (like you'd find rolled up in a bin somewhere on sale for $1.99), and fine art.
For more on what Kate Gibb went through to make these works of art, check out the link below as it explains more to the point (and more briefly) than I ever could:

In Kate Gibb's blog, she says these prints are lithos (not posters, not screenprints/serigraphs):
"August 30th sees The Chemical Brothers play a special anniversary gig at Kensington Olympia, the venue depicted on their 1999 album 'Surrender'. I have been asked to re-interpret my original illustration, to be reproduced as a limited edition litho print available only at their gig. Here is a sneak preview of some work in progress..."
