Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by Grafter on Feb 12, 2009 17:30:04 GMT 1, Sorry you feel like that, but there's a lot of people out there that have asked for one and thought I'd give them a chance before moving on...
Here's some more pics....

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by imbue on Feb 12, 2009 17:34:36 GMT 1, Is this a french version?
Grafter, if you have people wanting more, that is a good thing. Its also a little unfair on people that bought the first edition. Just my thought.

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by G-Man on Feb 12, 2009 17:39:34 GMT 1, I have to say that I'd have done exactly the same thing Grafter for what its worth
If people keep asking for the image why not yse it in a different way and release an edition, its not like its an open edition people cant moan if they bought the first images they were singles not hand finished tryps

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by kel on Feb 12, 2009 17:43:18 GMT 1, I have to agree with Imbue here. I just dont understand the need to release another set of Splash pictures. Obviously if it comes down to money then fair play to you grafter you deserve it. I just think that you are creating some really good stuff at the moment and there is no need to reproduce something unless one of the gallerys is giving you greif. Saying that didnt Urban Angel sell a white version for ยฃ400, they must have been putting some serious pressure on you.
As I say Grafter your a top bloke to deal with and deserve all the recognition you deserve. Though the splash image is a real classic and should have been left as it was.

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by Dellboyy on Feb 12, 2009 17:46:08 GMT 1, If it had been single prints exactly the same as earlier editions then i'd think it might not be the best idea. However it's the first time it's been used in a triptych as far as i'm aware, so seems ok to me. Didn't Hush for example release the graf geisha triptych after the single edition?

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by loucastel on Feb 12, 2009 18:11:24 GMT 1, The first "splash" worked well, it was a stand alone piece, this one if it had been bought out, without the preceeding prints ,again would have worked well, but now, this seems to be cheapening the first series, makes people think it is all down to money and how much can be screwed from the art buying public!!!

Guess I should have waited for the final edition in stead of buying all 3 wood pieces individually. ouch!!

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by Grubster on Feb 12, 2009 18:33:51 GMT 1, There is massive , MASSIVE demand over on EB for the slash and with that being said I think G did this in the best possible way he could. All three versions of previous "splash" prints edition of 50 have also been done on wood or canvas, No edition of 50 on the triptych print. There are triptychs on wood and canvas but no prints!!!! So thus making this the last "Splash" print and completing the series! Good to you mate!
Hush did this with graf giesha as well !!! With no other than wwho??? UrbanAngel! they just love triptychs huh???

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by alomondo on Feb 12, 2009 18:35:58 GMT 1, Seriously I love Splash and am proud to have the B&W with red splash taking pride of place in my house. However Grafter - you do do some great work, eskimo and splash are simply awesome, but you have tarnished your style a bit this year with the 'Flash' and 'Wisdom' (the amount sold speak for themselves) and then when you get such a reputation for a great demand piece like this then I guess you have to make the cold decision to either make as much money out of it as you can or simply sit back and let the demand raise your profile.
Now I'm not knocking you for doing the tryp which personally I don't favour, but what I am saying is that you do need to be very careful about what you put out there. You need to do more quality 'Splash' like work to keep your style alive and the demand and profile up.
Then you won't need to do new editions of the greats to pay the rent !!!

Wanna swap it for somrthing different then? I much prefer the original release, but couldn't afford to spend the cash at the time and certainly can't afford ยฃ400 for this one now (not to mention I wouldn't have enough space for the new one)! I think Urban Angel need a reality check on pricing and the current economic climate to be perfectly honest, but the image looks really great! So well done for the quality of the work Grafter, but sadly I'll have to give this one a miss.

Grafter Splash - New Triptych available tomorrow, by Standard on Feb 12, 2009 19:24:09 GMT 1, In the nicest possible way.........I have to agree with Imbue.
I love my Splash piece but I have to say that I am disappointed at another release of the same image, even if it is in it's triptych form. I was always dreading that perhaps Grafter would of released a reversed version or perhaps a black on black version, but I guess that wasn't thought about. I threw a lot of cash into the framing in the knowledge that there wasn't many of these and I liked that exclusive quality.
Another release only detracts from that and whilst I'm not so bothered on the value, I was hoping for another new & winning image from Mr G. Although I like some of his other pieces there isn't anything as strong as the Splash image (imo). I expected after seeing a recent improved canvas commission that they may be one or two other quirky O/G pieces but not another run of the image in any form. I was kind of hoping to see the mix of paint style in new future works.
I can see why he has done it, but it doesn't sit particularly well with existing customers/owners. I also think this release will undoubtedly cap the value of previous versions even if it is meeting an overseas/extra demand. I still love the work and will keep mine for now, but it has lost a little of it's appeal.
More of the same quality instead of more of the same would be nice.
(G - please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just giving feedback as an owner of the image)
