Print Release: Faile X Pearl Jam & I Used To Be Worth Something

January 28th, 2014

Posted by: Paper Monster

Faile Release Tuesday February 4th, 2014 around 12noon EST.



We are excited to release some great print editions by FAILE. First off, the Artist Edition of 100 signed prints of their Pearl Jam concert poster. Faile was excited by the opportunity to do a print with the band that inspired them so much during their youth.


Secondly, we have two low and unique editions of the I Used To Be Worth Something print. These are both thick prints painted and printed in the studio. All unique variants, with no two looking the same. Worth Something – Drips and Midnight have lots of layers, spray paint and brushwork making these some long-awaited classics from the studio.

if the "I used to be something" is a large print then would look rather imposing. I like it

[disdig1]

it is pretty big ade 25x33 inches.

Quite like these. Pearl Jam poster would look good up on the wall.

FYI, I was talking to Patrick Miller regarding the Pearl Jam posters. They were printed by another shop. The copies that they have for sale are the same posters that were available at the merch stand only that this one has their 1986 Faile signature.

... I really like 'I used to be worth something' esp the lower one

The only question now is will Paper Monster's site crash before or after they're posted for sale. I'm going with 15 minutes before.

Echo that - Reckoning edition of between 10-20 of each - $1.2 - 1.5k USD (for the Worth Something) - which will rule me out unfortunately

Seams like Eddie Vedder like the old urban art scene see like they have had a slew of top artist releasing pearl jam prints

Sent from my C5303 using proboards

[Martin DK]

Quite drawn by these, ironic that the social commentary is now bearing fruit? The paper monster releases typically aren't prohibitively expensive so will be interesting to see the edition size and price.

[mawge]

Anyone any ideas on price of pearl jam signed poster?

[disdig1]

the edition size is 22 and 20 for the varied editions vera.

[yoyosh]

"Worth Something" is a beaut...but I think I'll be priced out. I'm waiting on "Nights Of Vanity"

[beenrhymin]

when is the release?

Thanks for the info, in that case I think will be a tad spendy, we'll see.

I have seen those I used to be worth something. They look amazing in the flesh, a ton of hand finishing

[Happy Shopper]

Loving all of these... But it's Faile innit!

[Ruggs]

Crikey, less than £140 for the FAILE x Pearl Jam Spokane 2013!

[Happy Shopper]

I was actually expecting the Pearl Jam to be cheaper. Maybe $150 (as the unsigned are usually $30ish).
But still a fair price!

[mawge]

i think its a very fair price considering there are only 100 + its a proper silkscreen signed and stamped!

[morgan]

the other prints I get but $225 for the gig print is drinking the kool-aid. You are paying 175 more for the signature, nothing else different that I am aware of vs the show edition which was a SP as well?

I think the original show posters were offset prints, rather than screen prints.

Nope, the show posters were screen printed too. You're literally paying for the sig and limited edition of 100 factor.

Nice and a good price too.
