Please join the facebook event page for quick updates. I'll post here as well, of course. There will be 3 prints released leading up to the show. First 2 are online only, the first of which is scheduled for January. The 3rd and final print will be available only at the gallery show. There will be many originals for sale at the show as well. The exact number isn't defined yet but we are hoping for 10-20 originals. They will be priced very fairly. Also, there will be no pre sale for original artwork. In person only and if there are unsold pieces, they will be available online the Monday following the show. Also, we do not know the images for the prints yet. The editions will most likely be along the lines of past releases, in edition size and price. www.facebook.com/events/804101912985122/?ref_notif_type=like&source=1

This may well be worth a look for those in the States. Hua Tunan is getting some attention lately, the last print was beautiful.

Just talked with Hua. He was going to use a recent piece as his first print release...He decided on creating a brand new piece (that hasn't been seen on social media) instead. Should have some teases within the week, and all info right afterwards.

Had a 2 hour Skype meeting this morning (waaaaaay too early) and got a ton of details nailed down.
-Prairie Fire prints should be landing in Chicago by February 10th - Hua has confirmed that he is expecting to create 17-18 original pieces in China for the show, and another 2 while he is here in Chicago. All sizes, small and large. They will all be done on fine art watercolor paper, like all of his originals. Prices have yet to be set. -He will be here for 2 weeks. During that time, he will be painting murals during the day (2 in total) and painting originals at night. We will also be working on his 3rd print for the show (in gallery release only) which will in fact be a screenprint made under the master skills of Zissou (owner Galerie F and FugScreens). - Print number 2 and 3 have yet to be decided. We will have a better gauge for #2 once he completes a new piece and we decide which one will be chosen. - To reiterate again, there will be no private pre-sale or collectors preview for ANY of the work (print/original) for this show. There are a ton of people traveling in from out of state and country so we decided to be mindful of that, despite what is considered the "norm" for gallery shows. We will not have people traveling across the country only to walk into a gallery to find a piece they wanted having been sold already. Any remaining unsold prints or originals will be available online Monday following the show.
That's all I've got for now. I will keep you updated as things happen. Thanks again everyone!!

Hahahahha!! Digglesworth. You are quite funny. This place sees almost no posts at all by anyone other than mods anymore. It's ok. Maybe most people just would rather read, like a newspaper of sorts. Take a look. All I know is that the city of Chicago and fans from around the world are extremely excited for this show. Thanks for your support!!
...I'll keep the updates coming.

It sounds like you are involved with the gallery somehow so I am moving this thread to the Galleries, Publishers, and Artists section.

I guess we haven't been very consistent about that recently. No worries, sleepy!! Whatever you want to do is cool by me. And yes, I am most definitely involved. Been in talks with Hua for a year now...and finally got him to agree to his first ever gallery show here. I am curating the show. Very exciting for Hua, Galerie F and all the fans!!

**THIS IS NOT THE FINAL IMAGE*** Edition size, price and print size not yet determined. It will be hand embellished and embossed. I have recommended it to be a lovely square, 24X24". Hua likes the idea and thinks it will work. Not set in stone yet. Print Number 2, which will be released sometime in March is....

record number of posts ever in a "show" thread? Amount of money I would bet that you are an angry troll with a brand new username that doesn't have the balls to do anything with their life other than hide behind alts and post meaninglessly?...
