Faile 1/1, by jez1 on Jun 18, 2016 14:49:38 GMT 1, Hoping for some input from the more experienced collectors of Faile.
Just purchased my first 1/1 and the print looked better than expected when I unrolled it at the framers today. However, I couldn't help but notice a few oily marks / paint "swishes" near the top border. While I do love the raw nature of Faile works, I was wondering if this is typical for their handfinished prints?
Either way, the art police and I are stoked to put this up on the wall!

Don't worry, it is typical for some of Faile's hand done work to not be so perfect. I had a AP 'Burning Bright' that had so much paint/ink in one spot that it pooled and when it dried it looked different from the rest of the back round. The imperfections are just part of their art. You'll find the same type of thing on some of Bast's work. It's all good.

Faile 1/1, by Greekboy on Jun 18, 2016 16:14:05 GMT 1, Beautiful! Be sure to post some pics when you have it on the wall. I agree with polymindset. You shouldn't worry about the marks. It's very typical of Faile's work.

Faile 1/1, by jez1 on Jun 18, 2016 16:30:10 GMT 1, Thanks! Thought that might be the case but it is always great to have the peace of mind and the reassurance of others. Just getting back into collecting again, and hoping this doesn't turn out to be too expensive a habit...

Love Thanks, and purchased on the release. Price was probably high enough to deter flippers (hint: around the same as the Os Gemeos print) but we thought it hit the sweet spot for self use (unique enough, without breaking the bank for a Faile original) and is big enough to be impactful.
