Did you send 4000? That's spam

[Art Fan 2011]

Ha ha 4000 - as if !!!!!

[Steph Rat Catcher]

All ways a top service Gallary all good

[Inknart]

Surprised these are hanging around with all the interest in modern art always floating around on here. Have the modern art teal and these prints are amazing in person and top notch quality.

[kapusta]

IMO Modern Art is the superior print. Anyone with a Modern Art doesn't really need this one. Not surprised they aren't gone yet, but they'll sell out. I'm tempted by the yellow Riot, but realistically I don't need it. I have Modern Art in Orange and Teal and don't need more neon prints.

With 4000 pre-order requests, they should be already sold out.

Still, not even one edition is gone.

I guess the content of the query was not something they wished to discuss / reply to.

Perhaps they will someday. Soon .. perhaps ?

Does Ben reply to emails either ? Anyone have contact details for him ?

[avec art]

...did the colour that I find least appealing really sell out first!! No offence meant to anyone who has purchased the 'warm pink'.

I would never guess that this board is used for hype.

Still plenty of these 7 hours later... I kind of like it. Still feeling burned on revolution.

Looks nice, but $500 and postage... I liked the modern art, but this looks repetitive, and RIOT,RIOT,RIOT,RIOT...LOST IT

[soupy]

i prefer modern art as well.  i'm sure these are great in person (just like modern art vs the jpgs).  it just boils down to whether i'd want to think about RIOTs / RIOTing every time i looked at it on the wall. plus, the lady gave it the (atypical) disapproval making the decision a lot easier.

i wonder if the print would have benefited from the misalignment (and varying colors) like the coney island wall.

[snoozy]

Is there a message? Usually so, maybe he's given up

[r066ie]

I admit that I wasn't sold on Eine. But he won me over. Thought Modern Art was excellent.
But he's lost me again on this one...
Someone call the police!

[davievegas]

This print looks like he just threw it together. Why would I want something that says "RIOT" 4 times in a row with no meaning on my wall? I guess bright colors are attracting buyers?

[zefarrett]

Id be super interested at $300, but 500 is just too much. Would be interesting to hang that on my wall considering I just moved to baltimore city... :/

Hah ya. That would be perfect for someone living in baltimore for sure.

I'm guessing the amount of prints he's producing is to make up for all the money lost on making those wooden block things..

[Inknart]

Something About the word RIOT in Hot Pink sold me haha. Think it will looks good framed up! I know it will really POP for sure since I have the Modern Art print in Teal.

[Schrödinger's Chat]

It seems to me Eine has hit a good price point for avoiding excessive flipping, I may be wrong. His work doesn't sell out in seconds but does tend to sell out in 2 / 3 days, when it does turn up on eBay and is auctioned starting at a low price it ends up selling just a little over cost, which when you take off eBay and PayPal fees probably doesn't leave much, if any profit.

Just an observation.

This is a good thing for his fan base and for him.

Or the need to have an "Eine" no matter what. Personally I thought his early prints interesting, particularly the alphabet ones where he left out the W - striking.  Otherwise I find his work
