The "Back Story" of the Hank III Print

I alluded to a real interesting story about a poster last week... here it is straight from Jeff:
"the back story... I started printing the Dragon with new speedball inks I had never worked with. 4 colors into the print I realized that I just wasn't happy with the way it was looking, so I canned the run and decided to stretch all new screens, mix new colors using Golden acrylic paints (some of the highest quality available) and reprint the whole job. I'm weird that way. Funny thing is Dave Huckins was visiting me for a few days and watched me ditch the run and start over. I took it all in stride with no stress. I was doing this print to learn, and learn I did.
I had the Hank III poster to do on black paper so I decided to slap the DCS logos over the abandoned print and print on the flip side to conserve some paper and not waste it. It would also give the poster a cool story and something cool to snag if you own the art print."
Here's a picture of Jeff holding the finished Hank III poster showing the back right before he trimmed them:

He printed the white layer, 2 different reds and a buff color before canning the job and printing the DCS logo over it all. All of the numbered edition has this on the back. The subscription edition does not.
