Same sort of thing happened with ‘no work today’ as well. Can’t believe they’re up immediately though.

I definitely will not sell this one, but I'm open to a Whatson, Chevrier or D*Face trade (or a Parra trade, but I already have The Window and No Work Today, two of his finest if you ask me).

This arrived!

Expect a very long square tube with a small extra surprise ;-)

I think a lot of people will be shocked at first when they open the print and look at the white parts in the chair and mountain. it looks like there are dirty smudges there... but this is part of the print and not dirt.

How did that arrive so quickly? What happened to Christmas post delays

You could see the marks on one of pics on the buy page so assumed it was on all.

What a relief. They used Kraft paper for packaging this time. No more plastic sleeves and dinged edges. Can't wait for mine.

Hoping they're all like that then and you never got a dodgy one.

[buckwurst]

Glad they've stopped using DHL and switched to PostNL, for the Dutch deliveries anyways. Mine was scheduled for today as well but PostNL has come and gone so it will probably be tomorrow..

[cutkillavince]

Received mine as well, very nice print, I like this one a lot

Looks great!!

Mine arrived too, but was at work so will need to collect from the Post Office. I have to say, great service, that is the quickest I've ever received an order. Uk here.

[jeeves]

as usual i missed the drop, never got an email despite being on all the mailing lists (apparently), weird. great print i think (tho for me not quite as good as the window and no work today) - love both original parra style and this new direction, great to see him going from strength to strength. i am hoping there will be some at decent value on the bay in coming months, was amazed how cheap some no work todays went for (tho i unfortunately panicked and paid a massive price immediately after release...)

For those that missed out like me yesterday - get in touch with Parra via [e-mail] - some orders have apparently not gone through and I've just secured mine!

Grinning from ear to ear.  

[hungry]

There are 15 of the prints on eBay. Only one sold. Happy the flippers aren't making squat so far!

[hui]

Yeah, I've wanting more items by Parra, but there was no sense in purchasing this - no way this ever goes up on the wall =(

[ditisdeleven]

Can somebody tell me more about the technique? Why is this print so special, compared to other (Parra) prints?

What does this mean: "By using some painterly effects the print was made to look
like the original 2017 ‘sliding doors’ painting (hand-screened by Bert Depuydt in Antwerp, Belgium)"

[tranito]

Usually with screen printing, and it seems to apply to Parra's previous screen prints, ink either goes through the screen or not, which leaves a color uniform and plain where it was intended to be. In an effort to do a print that looks closer to the look and feel of the original painting, some ink layers show some transparency in some spots while being opaque elsewhere. That's the "scuffed" effect you'll see on his OGs that weren't part of his prints up until this one. I don't have the print to describe it, but from the pic just above, you can clearly see it in the hair of the ladies.. Hope it makes sense.

Going to assume you followed through on that pending payment?

Of course. If you need to get one still, I'd suggest contacting them if you haven't already.

You can blame me for one of those- I accidentally added 2 to my cart and couldn't figure out how to delete one- PM'd Parra to Please only cancel one- and left a note on my order, just got my Email they fixed it for me.  Great customer service.

[mrbagel]

haha cheers mercboy - I'll thank you instead.

Just curious why you don't like them coming in plastic sleeves? I have a print of his that I have been storing in the plastic sleeve that it came in so just want to be sure this isn't a bad idea or something. Thanks

The plastic sleeve allowed the print to slide up and down the tube during transit.

The No Work Today drop all came in plastic sleeves and many arrived with edge damage.

No stickers or wrapping paper with mine. Seems like it was random who got the surprise. Pretty annoying
