Sold 5 of my prints this week to fund one of these but it's not worked out for various reasons.

As above I have the money and im prepared to travel if needed.

Would take framed or unframed im not fussy ;D
Would have to be in A1 condition though.

Thanks for your time

My biggest battle this year will be keeping this canvas on the wall - my wife is not a fan to say the least

[kenzler]

Winter I love that but don't think I could afford it without selling a kidney lol

[brendan1985]

Both the print and the canvas are outstanding! By far my favourite bast image.

[twist65]

always loved that image, and winter for me that canvas is 2012 piece of the year on here, total stunner... don't think my wife would agree either though! Was hoping for another Xmas day drop this year, I was one of the sad people casually checking the site...

good luck with your search kenzler

[fairplay1974]

Took me a while to get one and was well worth the wait... And I'm still thankful to the member who helped me out with it. Patience and realistic view on what you'll need to pay is my advice, as you can see this is a well loved and appreciated Bast piece. Good luck and stay tenacious

[.dappy]

Hi kenzler - Last time this piece came up, if I remember rightly, at least 5 of the 8 belonged to forum members.

GL with your search.

[kenzler]

Cheers all.
Im hoping for the best on this one but let's see what happen's...
I dont mind saying I would pay around £1,200 framed which I think is very fair

Hmm you got me thinking about selling mine unframed. Love it and have future plans for mine but also wouldn't mind freeing up some cash. Need a night to think about it

[kenzler]

Thanks maadbeats

[kenzler]

I'm still more than happy to purchase bast piggy ed of 8
You boys can haggle over the black one lol

[kenzler]

Can't tempt anybody ;D
Got a big space on my wall to fill and would love a piggy

The only other Bast's I wouldn't mind are staying on the piggy, Popeye etc theme.
Would love the piggy though over anything

I would be curious how this piece is floated, its fairly heavy (at least I know Fenster and Dope Drop are). Ive personally never been a fan of archival tape and there must be some sort of stronger-type adhesive on there.

[kenzler]

Cheers Bonesy
I wont go into it on a public forum but I was going to purchase this off ebay but I backed out in the end.
not sure how it was mounted though
Still looking anyone

[twist65]

personally thought it would have been better floated on black too but each to their own I guess..
silly question, is archival tape removable?

[kenzler]

Ive just had one removed from the frame (Dran) and yes it is.
I suppose if you use top quality material and you know what your doing it's good.
I suspect the weight of the bast piggy may cause problems though so you may need to use more??

[bonesy]

Im in the minority, but personaly I wont frame with anything other than mylar corners or strips. I dont want anything stuck to my prints. Ive seen too many damage pics from archival tape through the years. If the mylar strip is showing a bit it is hardly noticable and I personally like the peace of mind being able to see a small portion of the mylar so I 100% know what was used.
Why stick something to your print when you dont have to?

[kenzler]

I must admit I couldnt watch the framer when he was doing it but it worked out okay..

[Harveyn]

I presume we are talking about float mounted in both instances?

I always float as irrespective of glass used or direct sunlight fading will occur. With float mounting it will be even. If you use a mount then it will eventually leave a very distinct fade.

So for floating I always use Jap Mulberry paper.

If hinged correctly the process is 100% reversible and will have no effect on the paper. Its how museums do it.

If you float with Mylar corners again you run the risk of uneven fading as the UV light will effect the paper behind transparent Mylar differently than the rest of the paper.

IMO.

Interesting point on the mylar and fading with time, even with UV glass. Absolutely makes sense after enough time passes...... I'll try not to think about it too much.

Ive looked for a framer local to me that will frame with Japanese hnges but am yet to find someone. I would be okay with the method but not many people are experienced with it Ive found. I surely dont want to be the guinea pig either as I believe water is involved
