Why It Matters
As a 2014 release, "Opinions" is one of the earliest works in this survey of Hijack's editions, establishing the one-color, text-forward format and thumbprint authentication he would carry forward. The hand-torn deckle edges add a craft element to the spare presentation.
Collector Perspective
Collectors tracing Hijack's development will value the early 2014 date, which predates his larger text series of 2015 and 2016. The 92-count edition is his standard size, and the verso thumbprint provides an early example of the authentication marker he adopted across his catalog.
Historical Context
Released in 2014, "Opinions" reflects Hijack's early move into edition prints while emerging from his father Mr. Brainwash's shadow. The one-color, message-first format and hand-torn paper signal a practice rooted in street directness rather than studio polish.
