Love d*face but some of his prints are very hit or miss for my tastes. Fwiw, the "turn coat" image above does nothing for me.

Hoping to somehow see the image prior to hopefully buying, although that seems unlikely.

Great. just great. hanging about all day Saturday refreshing my browser instead of doing this during work hours.

Those are his best and what he is all about. He takes hia inspiration from Lichtenstein.

I hate the secrecy behind these Dface print releases, but you can't deny that it builds hype.

Bend Embrace was his last great print release. He's got a lot of great images to choose from, but he tends to choose the poor ones. Let's see what we get this time...

[inkedup]

Any guesses on what the image could be?

I'd hate to waste my saturday refreshing my browser for a print I don't even want...

Cuz they're not confident. Same ol's**t.

How can they not be confident? All of his prints sell out very quickly, even his worst do very well. That is saying something about his popularity isn't it? Although I do like a lot of his work I'm not saying I appreciate everything he releases but IMO there is no question about his longevity. Like him or not he does have some staying power. As a matter of fact he seems to get more and more popular. I know it must piss more than a few lesser known artist off but he must be doing something right.

Because if it wasn't for the hype and marketing, his worst wouldn't do so well...  And then maybe his popularity would slide a bit.  But all this trickery works to get the masses talking about what it could be, so that once it drops you don't have time to think about it, you just have to buy for fear missing out.  And popularity doesn't necessarily mean you are doing something right.  Could just mean you have good marketing or PR.

Unless it's "love her, hate him", which is possible considering its the same dimensions as the b/w version from the misprints show, I'll be sitting this one out. The Lichtenstein motif has been sufficiently explored over the past 5 years, and I can't really see any new print with a similer ascetic meaningfully differing from what's already avalible.

As a massive dface fan, I still hold out hope we'll see a new body of work from him at some point.

His last release was pretty annoying. A bunch of misprints marked up at five times the price. I don't think many sold.

Everyone wants "Love her, Hate him." He's keeping that in his back pocket as an emergency release when his popularity drops. At least that's my theory for all his weak prints.

Always good sign with likes of dface. He has produced some classic pieces which are rare to get hold of and then some rather mediocre pieces. Nevertheless love him or hate him, he is a classic urban artist. Always live the controversy these releases create!! 😉

He needs a new body of work.. Same old same old.. I'm a fan of his older work before all this cartoon stuff.. Not my bag, but each to their own..

Cool. Indeed each to their own, a bit derogatory though saying all "his cartoon stuff", a little more than that but if you don't like it. Though an artist's style is his style and a complete movement to a different body of work is rare.

I remember the screen printed books sold out at the show. But most of the misprints were still available when it ended.

Based on what? I'd be surprised if he could only sell a couple with all the hype of the show. Then move the rest after it ended. Unless he dropped the price significantly.

You misunderstood, I am talking about his last misprints show.

They all sold out, the editions, based on the website plus email from gallery back earlier in the year

You sound like you have it all figured out. I've concluded that there are some people who really do like his work, have you ever thought of that? It seems to me that you think he's just a well oiled marketing and hype machine and attribute his success to trickery, and you are very entitled to your opinion. However, IMHO some of his work is really good and I do like the fact that he's still doing murals. Can't say I'll pass on this one until I see it, but if people are buying art for fear that they'll miss out on a release then I think it's time to re-evaluate why you're buying art in the first place.

As polymindset said, if you're buying based on "fear of missing out" then you miss the whole point of art. This would be more the way a flipper would think!?
