... Fingerz - if you are going to get two then mate, make sure one's for me! ;D ;D

i would matey would be a massive trek for me though .... lol .... i guess a few people will do exactly what ive said though ......

Nah - doubt anyone's going to bother really: 8 pages, 5.5K hits - sounds like its gonna be just you v's me at 09.00 with the F5 for company then ;D ;D

[richskara]

I fail to see how these are pricey?

The print quality on the inks and the paper quality are by far the best out of all the prints I own, not to mention these are LARGE.

Also small edition sizes and given the demand on these they could get away with charging the 275 for the standard prints quite easily.


Brooksie you just sound like a bellend who wants to whinge and moan about anything stik does

never has this been more apt...

"I can't believe you morons actually buy this sh1t"

Thats quite a way from 10k + VAT....

[twist65]

no-one ever said that the canvases were 10k + vat. just people on here going off on one!
think there's some large sculptural pieces at that price point, and canvases are £2,900 - 5k.

[missyparrot]

i remember when his canvas for Diva and single mum were £600 and £700 .....

Imitate Modern sent out an email saying that commissions were 10k plus VAT, which I posted about. I said it, it was me. I am not in the habit of making up s**t to post on-line.

Here's a screenshot of said email. Imitate Modern have caused this whole car crash.



Here's a direct link to said screenshot: img195.imageshack.us/img195/2599/screenshot20120418at174.png

And 8 pages on, I'd say job well done by them. It's kept the thread going this long.

[twist65]

me neither got banned for nowt so been off in a sulk for a few weeks - sorry, hope that didn't come across funny, it's been quite an entertaining thread to catch up on! =]

[twist65]

yeah thats slightly different though isn't it? commissions = more £ than straight off the gallery wall.
think people took your original post and thought it applied to the canvases at the show.

Yeah, entirely different I'm not sure anyone read the original post, judging by all this malarky.

Just got this through....



Dear guests,

Unfortunately, due to the popularity of Stik's work we are not able to reserve any of the prints and we will be operating on a first come first serve basis. As more works become available we will start adding images to our website. At current, there is no catalogue available.

Stik will also be producing limited edition commissions specially for Imitate Modern. There will only be five available. These will be priced at £10,000 (plus VAT).

If you have any more queries or questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,



The team at Imitate Modern

£10,000! £12,000 inc. VAT!
GOSH!

It says commissions, quite clearly in the Queen's own English.

Learn to read, people

Why you think they are cheap? On what grounds, because of this short term hype?
Best inks and large pftttt give me a break.

Keep patting yourselves on the back, you'll get burnt.

Also looks like the gallery are dropping the prices of canvases after the initial outrage.

[blobbydon]

[richskara]

Well going off the single mum print I own I stand by my assertions bout the quality.


Also I don't really understand what you mean by burnt? I would buy this print because I like it and hang it. I'm not really interested in selling anything I own. I thought lovers was poor so gave it a miss.

Then again I must have forgotten to abide the cardinal rule. Art is only to be bought to make profit.

[chaturz]

poo missed it

[cnh]

Well that went quicker than Phlegm. You guys must have some secret add to cart program.:(

[fingerz]
