Just not feeling this, the artwork looks to old comic bookish for me, I'd much prefer the ballet one or my Heartbreak Brooklyn one blows this away for half the cost. Colors are nice but image is comic book, Aiko style ect...I think its the kid and buildings look I dont fancy so much... gl to all who go for it!

pinballwizard love the +1 ! A throw back to the pre-2013 proboards update. Ahhh...the good 'ol days!

[cosmic]

worst i've ever seen from them IMO

[bjornca]

Not my favorite by far. Good price point though.

[Ken Hashimoto]

Absolutely love it, and imo with their new Ballet installation, these guys are only going upwards, especially on the tail end the Mongolia sculpture, the Portugal temple, the NYC prayer wheels, they constantly are upping their game!

[rottenredrooster]

Can't miss this one.

[LAZAKY]

Not sure to grab this one...
The image is nice but it does not look like other block prints...
But at that price it's a good opportunity to grab a nice color print!

What type of checkout system do paper monster use?

[cymruplan]

From the Faile e-mail:

As with some of the other releases, please be patient with the PaperMonster site. It is built with a cart timer system, so while some of these get tied up in carts they will eventually refresh and become available. If you see a Cart Timer or "In Cart" it means there are still prints available, so please check back later.

You got a few minutes to pay once its in your cart, if not it will be put off your cart and be available for other customers, so be quick!

[adewilliams]

love it, far nicer than the full tiled block effect IMO, how can you not go for it with the additional chance of winning something special. I am in

[yapsey]

I really like this one - The way that faile manage to transfer the 'block' styling is very effective. brighton beach etc are so well printed that the illusion of the blocks looks fantastic.

the other lovely thing about faile is that they, no matter how popular they are, release their prints at really good prices. I just get the impression that they really give a sh*t.

[Petrusino]

This print is very nice, I like how the colors are matched, I also like the image, the idea of ​​a modern mary poppins is a reminder to the dream and our childhood. nice

agree, was never too keen on the other PaperMonster full block effect prints, would have preferred one of the other Ballet images too but gonna be hard to pass on this i think..

A print of a girl with an umbrella - that will look lovely next to my Nola.

And if you have the eelus you could have a wall of umbrellas.

[Gard]

I may win something? It's an expensive lottery ticket, but totally worth it. And I can frame my ticket when I don't win

[yapsey]

i never win anything...

be great to grab the print though.

[adewilliams]

1 in 25 chance.

Anyway its not about winning its about faile and their innovation, like they need an incentive for people to buy.

[Deleted]

less than 5 of these will be framed by those singing their praises.

honestly there are artists that even if they give me an "incentive" to buy their works I do not buy them from him anyway. More than an incentive I see it as a special treat gift, 10 on 225, and even if you want to see it as an incentive to buy, this only works because it is a Faile's incentive on a already nice print, from some great artists that are top of the internatonal urban art, who have not forgotten the people who made them famous by buying their prints for an hundred dollars

[adewilliams]

yeah I reckon like 2 will be framed and 223 will be on ebay, yeah mate thats what I reckon. Nobody really likes faile anyway they just blah blah blah!

[Deleted]

I'm neither your mate nor someone who thinks the whole edition will be sold to people on this forum; nor implying the rest will end on Ebay although as a side prediction there will be more for sale on here than framed.

[Petrusino]

Perhaps many of these will end up on the secondary market, but this also happens with many other famous release, every time that people can take advantage of the talent and fame of others for make money. I also would have preferred the print of "les ballets" (The idea of Faile embracing the dancer is brilliant), but this print is nice for me..two different style.

[Gard]

Faile's latest prints haven't done well on the flipper market. Hopefully the worst flippers will stay away from this release.

As many others said the ballet prints would have been much more awesome, but I would wait and use them on a more limited and more expensive print if I was Faile. They need to keep their hardcore collectors happy too.

[adewilliams]

I havent got any friends mate

..I know some don't like them, but I agree that the block effect on the prints is excellently done. I own a couple of them and love the scale, colour and detail, they look brilliant on the wall.

Looking at some of the detail shots of the Tower, I think that those who were concerned about the recycling of old work should be encouraged, they have some fantastic new images up their sleeves.

Credit is definitely due to them for the variety of releases to suit different budgets, however the more I look at this one the more I think it a very weak choice for a print...

I love Faile but I'm not liking A Call to Adventure. Even with the 18 layers it looks rushed and bland to me.
However I agree the les Ballets de Faile image is excellent and would make a great print.

I definitely would not call this print bland - far from it.

Having gone to the trouble of the 18 layers I would have expected more colour on the rainbow and flames for example?

However each to their own as ever and good luck to those who want it.

[Cardiff]

I'm in the minority and quite like this image...that said, I really don't like the borders on these block prints. Part of the appeal to me of Faile is the look/feel of something that's less "produced"...the borders always scream machine made to me.
