Mine landed this morning (US order)

As said above, no worries, these will go down in price. Too many people won one or more for the flip and see they don't go double retail or more as his previous/older prints do.

This is what you get with raffles though.
I missed out on one, and can't be bothered by paying resell for one just because a computerprogram didn't chose me. If I lost square and fair at a regular release, I had only myself to blame and I would've paid a certain amount on top of retail to have one. But now, nah, sorry :-)

Mine got delivered to my house yesterday afternoon in the UK, funny thing is I'm the other end of the country with everyone who lives in my house so where it has been delivered I don't know... Signed for by a name I've never heard of 😂☹

Isn’t it a bit ironic that you started this thread and now encourage it?

You hung that out. Thought the second batch of offers was last week.

Don’t know how I feel about your sloppy seconds

I’m sure Romulus would take it if you pass. Save them getting stung on the flip.

depends what you consider blowing up? He's been steadily getting more exposure and fans for the past decade or so, simply not at an insane rate like Kaws or wtv

[Express Post]

He's a graphic designer which are oceans away from fine arts. He started with drawings, illustrations and posters. Not the usual pedigree of an artist that is bound for USD 6-7 figure commercial success.

hence why whoever commenting this needs to define "blowing up", he's had a lot of growth as an artist but yes anyone that has followed this knows he's probably not on a path to become blue chip and thats not necessarily a bad thing or his objective... If it was, ive always felt dropping his clothing label would be a first step in that direction

well, will be interesting what comes from the oti representation now also

The thing with Parra, is that he isn't in it for the money, but for his own pleasure.
It seems he is not trying to be a commercial succes or a blue chip artist and that's fine. I think he has the potential though, as there are a lot of more expensive artists who I think are less about the art and more about a good management and commercialising their product. 

What is certain, is the fact he's here to stay. His very first works were very cheap, prints at 50/100euro, OG's at less than 2k for large sized stuff. But he's grown in style and so did his audience. He went from a graphic designer, to an artist with a clear, recognisable style and still he is growing in form and colour. This change in price means though, you now have 2 very clear audiences for his work: The students (who buy his clothing and flyers) and the collectors (who, well, collect his prints, sculpts and original work). For me, this works great. You can enjoy/own something of his from as low as 20euro to 15.000euro without compromising on imagery. It's just a different medium.

Of course, everyone compares any other artist to Kaws at this time. But let's be honest, if the Kaws pricehike is the base to start comparing, you don't have a lot artists who would make the cut. From a supply perspective, it's even easier to find an original by Kaws, than an original by Parra. Ha... :-D 

[NYart]

Between the clothing line, open edition posters, and roots in graphic design, he’s not far from Shepard Fairey. I think it’s fair to say Obey has a step on Parra but between the latter’s Nike collabs he has the mainstream exposure they’ve both benefited from and don’t see any reason Parra couldn’t reach Obeys level. If he did I would have to imagine his prices be at blue chip level with his exponentially lower availability of work.

[Hoopz Dreamz 1]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Can someone offer a clue what Parra was trying to express via this image? And why safety dance? Does it relate to the pogo movement? Thanks in advance!
