Wow. Those ginormous canvas Giclees were only $1000. That's extremely affordable, especially for an edition of 5. I tended to think $500 for the It Wanders Simkins print was a bit excessive, but assumed the elevated price was a result of a small edition. However, it was a larger edition by a magnitude of 10 and a third the size. Now Knight Watch comes along and it's speculated to be somewhere between $700-850 (still a little suspect why they can't set a price). The profit margins on these pieces is fucking insane!

Agreed Lowpro, a shame that a price has not been set...hope the hype to Knight Watch does not determine the cost. Those busts are amazing, love the white but that has sold out already. Will try to pick the black one up.

I have to admit I wasn't a massive fan until I saw some of his work at the Elms show his did with Adam Neate. And I have to say it was outstanding, the guy is a phenomenal painter. Some on the pieces on show were just stunning, I could have looked at them for hours. Here's a link to the show: www.flickr.com/photos/ektopia/sets/72157605239185736/ |

I've been fan for quite some time but haven't found the right piece to purchase until recently "I think". He's paints with so much incredible diversity and really swings nicely between both high/lowbrow movement. He's quite the stud but with not much recognition. i love how he's been repainting the old masters with added Kiss twist to each painting.

I really want to pick up a piece but can't commit right now with the kinda money needed. Bummed about it. |

the gallery owner said this is his stuff from 93. Apparently he did a set of work that was based off his kids drawings (stuff on the fridge type of work)
the sheer size of these pieces are amazing and i loved how playful they are compared to the work he is known for today.

I really like those! It's cool and different because the overall them/idea of the paintings are simple, as if a child did them, yet the execution and technique are top notch. Results in a very cool look!
