Pejac - Love Letter, by Dive Jedi on Dec 3, 2018 16:25:41 GMT 1, Obviously when we hang up the piece, the haunting music in the video does not accompany it. It will just look like a letter stuck in a open frame and what happens when the sticky back wears out? It's held by magnets. They don't wear out....

Pejac - Love Letter, by churchwood on Dec 3, 2018 16:37:00 GMT 1, I actually think it looks quite neat but not for me at that price with Santa so close by too.
I thought normal practise with a timed release was to print after the release shut off time - that way you know the number you are going to have to print. The video suggested they have already printed them.
looks better than a brick though for sure

It looks a bit like something you might pick up on Etsy. And you can either display it with the side with the image but no signature, or the side with the signature and just some stamps.

Pejac - Love Letter, by Dive Jedi on Dec 3, 2018 16:44:59 GMT 1, Those are both nice, especially the ballerina.
But to state Pejac is copying Banksy is a step too far IMO. These are not letters. Different concept all together.

Magnets do wear out, if they didn't we'd all have generators running off perpetual motion.

Pejac - Love Letter, by jbelleit on Dec 3, 2018 17:07:03 GMT 1, I think I am on the same side as a lot of you. Really dig Pejacโs works and absolutely love to give to charities, but this price is mad. I canโt justify that price for this work. Good luck to the reset of you who do purchase. It will probably be a low edition number after all.
(Though I do find it a bit funny that Pejac and Max call out the limited-edition, hard-to-acquire prints and say they are doing an open-edition so the masses can get a โPejacโ but then put that price tag on it...)

No purchases actually 'give to charities though, right? The proceeds of the edition go to the artist, and then the original is auctioned for charity.
I'm not saying this is a problem, it's still a cut above most releases, but it's not like you are donating the money and getting something in return

Pejac - Love Letter, by loother on Dec 3, 2018 17:18:15 GMT 1, Pejac seems to have gone to an awful lot of trouble to make an envelope that looks just like an envelope. He could have just bought some envelopes, hand-drawn some tightrope-walking folks on them, sold them for a third of the price and everyone would have been exceedingly happy. This is pretty, but it just isn't meaningful or impactful enough to be worth the price as anything other than an investment, and I don't really have ยฃ700 to be investing at the moment. I remain in the Pejac fan club, but I'm out.

Pejac - Love Letter, by Gunny on Dec 3, 2018 17:46:06 GMT 1, Some people will buy as a punt, hoping not many will buy. meaning perhaps a lowish edition size. However, if many people think like this and there are loads sold, then people will be offloading like crazy. It's a nice piece, and if it was editioned, with a price, then people could make their own judgement. Be interesting to see if many take the plunge at this price.

the front is a bit cheeky with the stamps misaligned and all... BUT, it would be super cool if PEJAC personalizes the letters to our names and addresses... now, that would be a real love letter.

I'm sorry, but the word "charity" is not a magic incantation to justify a very overpriced & underwhelming release. Easy pass.

Personalising them would completely ruin future resale value

I remain in the Pejac fan club, but I'm out. My thoughts exactly. It's actually a nice concept. I remember seeing the rope-walking dude on his IG a while ago and thinking "that's cool". After seeing the video you can see that it's true that a lot work went into this - the envelope, the print, the stamp, the press etc. But after all it's still a signed envelope with a doodle and some stamps for 600+ quid. At half the price of his editions, it just doesn't look the value.

That price will definitely limit the edition size so that might be a good thing.
