Frame: Art Chantry
Lens: Warm Grey

While the Hijinx is probably Oakley's most vanilla frame--simple in its very fashion-oriented design--it's probably also one of the most appealing to the mainstream market. The huge squared logo fits in perfectly with the size of the frame, which is quite massive as well. However, it is deceptively light and very, very comfortable. The only other O Matter frame off the top of my head that would compete with it as the most comfortable frame is the Monster Dog. The comfortable fit will obviously be the selling point to Oakley fanatics despite the lack of an outrageous design.

The Art Chantry Hijinx is, in my opinion, the most successful application of art on a frame Oakley has done as of yet. While the c100 and Flores Gascans are applied under a clear covering (thus resulting in a polished frame appearance), the Chantry Hijinx is applied on top of a matte black frame that enhances the artwork more than the other frames have. The matte appearance works wonders for Chantry's art, as it looks like it came right off a poster or magazine, which is exactly what his grunge-level artwork is suppose to look like. However, applying the artwork on top of the frame without a clear covering may have some durability issues in the future.

Overall, I give the Art Chantry a 4 out of 5 stars. It gets points for the artwork complimenting the frame (and vice versa) and its comfortability, but it loses a point due to its lack of a distinctive design.

Frame: Frank Kozik Polished Black
Lens: Warm Grey

If there weren't part of the Artist Series, I would not buy them. They do not fit the Asian Face at all. Complete opposite of how they're supposed to fit for the Asian face. On the bright side, these are one of the more unique Artist Series. The design goes all around the frame rather than the legs, and it is just amazing. The icons are very unique, and the bag itself is spectacular. Now, if these came in the Asian Fit, I'd be more than happy to buy!

Frame: Red Shift Soviet
Lens: Dark Grey
Found these at the beach, and they are unlike any other Oak's I have ever seen. As soon as I put them on they appealed to me. The Soviet graffics are awesome.

These are my third pair of O's, and it is definitly worth getting your hands on a pair of these...considering only 5000 were made.

Frame: Matt black
Lens: grey polarized

One of the best sunglasses i"ve had in my lifetime, high on performance but low on durability. In 3 years the lens coatings have started to peel off

Frame: Art Chantry Matte Black, Kozik Polished Black
Lens: Warm Grey

A very plain looking sunglass. I would say that if the ones I didn't own were not artist series I wouldn't own any. The fit isn't good on me as they rest on my cheeks and leave small marks. Because the artist series was new at the time I felt that I had to have these as the frame on both are amazing. Warm grey fits the Art Chantry but I wish they used regular grey on the Koziks. A great head turner, I never fail to get a compliment on these.
