Whatson aftermarket market has gone up and GP pricing accordingly.

[NYart]

Your right, more desirable hand finished options available for £600 or at least close to on the secondary though. In my opinion anyway.

Would agree with that.  Pricing in line with recent releases, the Snik colab 'fix the sky' was £600 on release also.

Think we have Fredrik to thank for the 600 on HF then.
But I agree that 300 would have been a real bargain.

[rosac]

Aren’t all the main editions normally hand finished? That’s his thing right?

Not necesarily.
Sandra collab main edition was all printed tags.

Would have been quite a job to HF an edition of 195  

This is a nice mix of affordable regulars and and more upscale HF and brass.

Can I just say, I've enjoyed Dogstar's contributions throughout the past few days.

It's actually (pretty much) the same as always...

Reg Run is only up a touch on the mains (like 20 prints or so) and in line with past releases at £250. These are HUGE prints and 28 colours, so the price is easily justified.

The HF is a run of 50 prints, which accounts for the "no colour variants", as there is usually 25 or so, of a few colours each. That being said, these HF are ALL HF, vs just partially HF (like a few sprays here and there) like on on past releases. Hence the higher price tag, and a deal IMO, as they're all practically originals.

The brass is super special and unique, and is I believe this is the first time that they've ever publicly released a brass edition (please correct me if I'm wrong). It's also in line with past brass pieces sold privately.

So take all that into account, and it's pretty much sam-same..but different GL to everyone, it will no doubt be a tough drop!

GP has released Snik prints on brass ; Fading Glow for sure. Not sure WYSS was public release.

[nighthawk]

Yes, Snik I know of, but I don't think they've ever released an all HF Whatson on brass before!? I know of a few out there, but they've come directly from Martin and GP.

When and where is the print going to be released ?

Not sure if serious or trying to get everyone to spam a poor forum members inbox.

[thomasmer]

Amazing how you can make 500k out of a blatant banksy rip off, maybe just embarrassing more than amazing.

Cash cow time.

Words fail me

[greedy21]

I'll try for a HF edition, I'm sure it won't be easy.

For those not up to speed, Whatson is an ex-forum member who has been ripping off other artists his whole career.
When I first joined here he was doing Shepherd Fairey style rip offs on Vinyl. Super cheap if I recall. But it wasn’t successful.
Then he came back doing Logan Hick style art and was called out by the man himself on here. So he went quiet for a while....
Next we heard of him he was selling the spaceman with a butterfly print, which whilst not original was a forum print. He totally rinsed it, and GP picked it up too, resulting in even more prints and a few pissed off forum members.
A few uninspiring prints later he hit upon the tagging style, again utterly derivative and even though his stencils were called out and shown to be poor copies they sold like hot cakes. Five years later he’s still rinsing you all for this style.
As Banksy said, I can’t believe you morons buy this shit, but fair play to him and GP, laughing all the way to the bank.

I must say, the tiger on brass does look nice
