Many people have waited, found the right piece, attempted to buy and found 800 people in the queue ahead of them. At this stage in his career unless you are very well placed his works are incredibly difficult to buy.

He's definitely a very talented artist..managed to buy direct from him back in the days a piece from his personal collection titled "De Kooning"..to this date it's one of my favourite piece after Sepukku from my entire collection.
Very hard to get a piece by him these days.

[Dibbs 45]

It’s strange how everyone is saying how hard it is to get a piece. I was speaking to them at the Gallery and they stated that he is doing commissions. Unless people are talking about off the peg, so to speak and not bespoke.

Looking for Ryan Hewett's Once Were Leaders book from 2017 or any other catalogues or publications by this artist.

[Ragequit McGee]

Will be checking this out in the next weeks, love the progression of his style recently. Big fan of what Unit achieve too

The commissions do take a Good while but he does do them. I’ve had one in the works for 1.5 years now.

Dude is busy. As a side note by in the works I mean he has worked on it, made changes, had shows, etc etc. it’s a long process but I am more than happy to wait as the finished product is truly amazing.. .

IMO his appeal is in his rendering of portraits. I felt like the offer was a bit of a booby prize. 

[blerd]

This is his first print release available sometime this week unannounced on The Unit website. Anymore information appreciated. Ps. SOLD OUT, I know Bob!

[Dahmer]

Will be interested to see what this actually looks like, really big fan of his work just not sure how well a print will ever capture the texture his work has.

That's exactly what I thought. Maybe some kind of screenprint + HF...

Agreed. Converting the 2D to 3D will be tricky. I'm hoping as they're signed Ryan must be happy with them. 

[seanburke]

Huge fan of his work, but the neck and body of that image looks so weird - like her head is twisting around like in exorcist.

Any guess on price? - £300 or £3000?

Just ruined it for me. 

[Dibbs 45]

As far as I know these will be giclee. Good image but will be difficult as a screen print

[blerd]

I think the image is one of his best. A good conversation between all the styles he's practised. 

[lg2771]

Surprised they chose this one for the print.

[Pawel]

I find this image OK. Not his best, but that will do

[seanburke]

Still think this is his most iconic image:

This is the beauty of Art it divides. But his most Iconic, not this one. 

[blerd]

IMO this smashes that one everytime.

Although I think most can agree that the print is by far not his best image. I’m actually a little disappointed. The background color and shoulders look off to me.

LOOOOOOL! I thought you were a fan? That is funny though.

[kuni]

It's really hard to see how his style translates into a 2D print...so much of the appeal (for me at least) is in the texture of his work.

It's Unit London, not known for affordable releases, so I'd rather doubt it'll be £300. It was my favorite piece of his, until that exorcist comment 🤮

[shinkaiser]

Not feeling this. Ryan Has great work in general. Nit sure why he chose this as a print.
