Thats a good effort. Also loving the 2 faile dogs, although its a bit greedy you should give me one, lol

[Sic]

That's very impressive and creative! Awesome job.

[WOOF]

Awesome!! Now lemme get one of dem faile dogs...

[daveart]

Ha ha .. yah.. i went a little obsessive with FAILE dogs back in the day... most iconic image for me of the early FAILE work. gets me every time. and well honestly .. easy to buy at one point. now. not so easy...

Great costume and great prints!  What is the deal with the Faile print?  Are those dog prints with the pink background from a certain edition?

[disdig1]

they are from an edition of 15 i believe from 2003 but each one is unique. some of the Patricks best works!

[daveart]

disdig1 is on right track... here is some information on the faile forum ..

obviously there are not many around.. you have to move quickly and have the visa card cleared out and ready to go when they pop up. there are two different images - one with blood dripping (Dog Bite) and one without just called FAILE Dog in the book.. .

Who cares about her costume, those Faile dogs are friggin stunning!!

[daveart]

another thing i never researched.. but the Faile Dog has the more standard big looping signature. Check out the old school signature on the Dog Bites...

and close up so you can see that the paint is really thick and rough.. man .. i love these..

The old style sig was done by aiko.

[Coach]

Though the Faile piece signed by aiko that I have has a slightly different looking sig to that one

[daveart]

And the signature on the second dog.. very different than the first.. guessing again by Aiko ? Coach maybe you know.. was there a reason she signed these .. does it indicate she was the one doing the work or something.. or just the person who happened to pick up the pencil first ?

[Chrisp]

Faile could keep churning that dog image out forever and it still wouldn't get boring.
As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'.
Thanks for the pics they're great.

That's the early sig, up to and including the V1 show in Copenhagen 2004. www.v1gallery.com/exhibition/current/29
