Hello everyone, Hope this finds you well. There's been a lot of activity in the studio over the last few months / years and today we're excited to finally share a new project. Faile Puzzle Boxes: As some of you know we've been exploring a series of work influenced by the use of modular wooden cubes over the last three years, this has come to fruition in a variety of ways. Today we are launching a new website and mobile app to highlight the original inspiration behind this work. Please take some time to enjoy the puzzles and play. The idea behind the site and app was to create a place where anyone can play, solve or abstract the artworks within the world of Faile. The links are here and there's more information below in the third person. Faile Puzzle Boxes Website: failepuzzleboxes.com/ Faile Puzzles App at iTunes Store: itunes.apple.com/us/app/faile-puzzle-boxes/id437115432?mt=8&ls=1 LA Works on Paper "Faile: A Decade of Prints & Originals": It seems like everyone is heading out to LA, so we thought we'd join the party. We're doing a small, works on paper show with a new LA-based print shop called Post No Bills in Venice, CA. The show will feature a variety of works on paper over the last 12 years (a decade just sounded better). Plus a few other goodies. Should be fun. Opening will be June 23rd. There will be several new pieces available at the show. More information to come on this over the next few weeks. PaperMonster Print: Tuesday - June 7th at Noon in New York. We know this one has taken a little longer than expected. Despite the amount of time, you can't really rush these, we couldn't be more pleased with the print. It will be an edition of 300, rather large in physical size and a lot of color. We hope you're going to enjoy it. Thanks for the inquiries. We'll be sure to send an update when it's set to launch. That's it for now, more to come soon. Thanks to everyone as always, the support is greatly appreciated. All the best, Faile |

I hope CG you are right but my guess is definitely $12k+. You have three images on the box and then 6 from the cubes. That's 9 classic images. I would have thought closer to $15k.
The only draw back is at these sort of prices do people really want to continuously rotate / handle the blocks to display the images. Based on that limitation I think these will be $10k.

Love them. Can't justify 15k though. For not much more you can get one of block paintings up on your wall.
Here are the quick specs..
Dimensions: 12in. x 20in. x 4in (30cm x 51cm x 10cm)
Acrylic & Silkscreen Ink on Custom, Hinged Wooden Box.
Acrylic & Silkscreen Ink on 88, Six-sided (2in x 2in) Wooden Cubes.
Signed COA by Faile 2010-2011.
$15,000

Very cool concept and idea from Faile. Top Notch stuff. Outside my price range. I think I'm going to make the trip to LA for the show at the end of June though.

These are absolutely brilliant and true pieces of art! The workmanship and hand finishing that went into the blocks is really where it's at. I was in NYC recently and got to see one in the flesh and let me tell you they are amazing. I'm hoping to get one myself.
Fingers crossed!
Also looking forward to the show in LA on the 23rd...

I would love to have one of these but not as much as I would like $15,000. Can't imagine every paying near that much.

Oh the things you could get for 15.000 USD, guess a puzzle would be one of the last things I´d go for.

The new app is pretty awesome. If you are interested, they also had us create a facebook page for them where you can submit your creations with the new app to a new contest where they are giving away a bunny boy sculpture here.  |
