Ernest Zacharevic 🇱🇹 Penang, Malaysia Street Art

[Dr Plip]

I'm a sucker for paper aeroplanes.

[Graffiti Prints]

As always the photos do not do them justice the light was terrible it's been very dull up north lately

Colours pop much more in person and so does the scale as there quite big.

The detail on the boys is great and you can see all the heavy brush stokes in the paint from the original and also some sketch lines which is a feature of his originals, he just leaves lots on!

I was very sad to send the original painting off to new pastures today.

Been quite open about loving these but was actually a little concerned about the size. These are BIG!

The grey ones are smaller and there is grey without a border which are smaller again.

I just could not cut the white down they looked so good at the larger size.

I will measure everyone tomorrow and put correct sizes online, We liked the idea that there not all the same size.

Is the hand finishing on the 55 edition the crayon horses? If so i think the price is pretty good. Most the time the hand finishing is the artist flicking a bit of paint on the page.

Haha whereas in this case, he draws a stick figure with a crayon?

Not really crazy about a lot of the specials - don't see why anyone would choose most of them over the standard edition (unless you're the type who's just really into having 'uniques'). A lot of them don't make sense w/r/t the mop/roller, which bugs me a bit (i.e. good deal of the specials).

I love the hand finished one with the bees.
Sadly, I'm skint, and I blame Judith Supine!!!

Thursday - exact time will be emailed to mailing list a hour before release

They want there Asia customers to have a chance to buy hence we are not releasing the time till one hour before by email

I loved the street piece, but some of those hand finished images are really poor IMO, they seem contrived, wih very little humour involved.

Yeah I agree. After a few people pointed me to his site and some others, his work on the street is eye catching and interesting. This doesn't seem to be either of those and Id struggle to put two boys riding bees on my wall that's for sure!

GP who picks the image for the print? Could you shed any light as to why this image as opposed to the others he has (especially considering how similar this image is to what we've seen dran release).

We decided together before Xmas to do this one, it was one of my favourite street pieces and it work as I knew he could draw the horses after we printed.

It also showed off his clash of styles well with the oil paint and the crayon.

I got the exact opposite feeling maybe you need to see them in the flesh.

Ernest is not trying to be cool or anything like that he just paints what's in his head

As I say, just my opinion.

[JAlternatión]

Apologies if I missed this, but do we have a time on Thursday for the drop yet? Loving some of these 1/1s but am doing an interview on Thursday PM

[sashaz]

I want them so badly.

[Dice]

GP I probably won't be buying but just wanted to point out there is no mention of hand finishing in the description of the edition 55 print...

I believe they are sending out an email one hour before launch. Don't know a specific time though. Good Luck!

[JAlternatión]

Cheers... hopefully it isn't between 2.30 and 4pm! (I bet it is... bloody work always getting in the way of the good things)

Thanks

[jayTown]

GP, question... A few of the uniques have already been created and sold through Montana haven't they? If that's the case are they still 1/1's? For example the pigeon one and aeroplane ones? Shouldn't they be "editions" in the same way the main editions are?

[Broth]

for my money, the pigeons are the best. $700+ is too rich for me on this print, but those elephants would look great on my wall. oh how I wish the elephants were the main edition.

[sgolby]

I really like this guy's work, but I just don't love the hand finishing on them.  I feel as though the for the most part the crayon work cheapens the look of the print.  The exception being the pigeons, airplanes, the rocking horses, and B&W Lettering.  I feel like the doodles do a disservice to the body of his work that I see out there, and can't for the life of me understand why there is a 200 pound difference in price for a doodle. 

It is just my opinion, and a matter of taste I guess. 
Nonetheless, I hope the drop is successful for GraffitiPrints.  I really like what they are putting out these days, and am eager to see more.

Peace and good luck to everyone going for this tomorrow.

GP, really respect what you been doing and my one transaction with you really stood out as top notch (a.ce is a fan favorite in my sons room) BUT I am pretty sure EVERY drop of some print I've spent days drooling after is at 6-8am pacific coast time(LA)

Please let me do another transaction with you by not dropping this during the two hours of the day i most often fail to wake up for stuff

I'm pretty sure my wife feeds the kids but I can't also ask her to snag me a print real quick...especially given her ban on all art purchases (shhhh)

[dazarino]

so some of the prints have gone already? before the drop?

must be a different edition jay surley?

[badgersurf]

I have to get on a plane in an hour, please hurry upwith the drop

[aberdoom]

So it's been released at 10am GMT? We are now on GMT+1 so it's not dropping until 11am? (I'm in the UK)

Score one for the west coast!!!!

[mikehaspey]

I'm not being funny but I clicked 'add to cart' within a nano second of it coming up on the page and instantly sold out? This is what happened to me on the last release I went for with GP.
What's going on? I know we have instant sell outs but that's ridiculous !

[mawge]

Bagged a normal edition!
