Agreed! I think at 36” it’s going to be pretty amazing in person. Prices have doubled though, since the first ones they released 🤦🏻‍♂️

How much would framing be for something that size and shape?

It comes framed! Major bonus there, as I'd imagine a 36" circle frame wouldn't be cheap!

...except he’s an MMA fighter and not a boxer. Also might have more success at boxing because he’s having a rubbish run in the UFC.

I find these prints terribly bland. I was hoping for more umpf than Findac meets Whatson

Not released until 15 Jan and we already have someone trying to flip 🙄.

Yes we have not started doing pre orders for any of the upcoming Paul prints, so technically nobody have bought this edition. We will of course do some pre order to Loyal clients from us, who have support us also with launches that where less in demand as this one and don't flip. So it is possible, of course that someone thinks they will get it and pit on eBay but that is highly unlikely so that is why I said almost... but we will do some research. Also on the main edition and special edition we will do pre orders, as said we have some loyal clients to take off but wanna sell off course also to new clients! so please email [e-mail] for interest. On the smaller edition we will try to have everything or at least 90% available for public launch so everyone has a fair chance of buying them! 

[DocilePerson]

I love this for you guys!

hmm - I sent an email to Curtis this afternoon asking about a pre-order (since this was possible in the last few releases of PI and other artists) and I got the answer that you've run out of reservations for all of the PI prints ...

I emailed on Dec 15 and got a reply on Dec 16 stating pre-sale reservations for The Reflection was full and there will be no pre-sale for The Observer. So you must know who has been allocated a pre-sale slot. Hoping for a The Reflection but have had zero success with all 3 previous Insect editions. Won't pay secondary market prices for one but it seems a lot of the pre-sold prints end up straight on eBay.

[kapusta]

Same experience, I emailed them a few days ago after the first Instagram post and reservations were full. The woman who replied to me was very kind about it though, so I don't fault her at all. But maybe don't encourage folks to email when there's a 0% chance at a pre-sale? It gives false hope.

I'll be shooting for an Observer, I don't have high hopes for scoring Reflection.

Serious question. How do you become a "loyal client" when you miss out every time you are signing up for a print? I'm sure i'm not the only one on here that tried several times without any succes. And please don't say that's unlucky.

Curtis informed earlier in the week that all copies of the Reflections prints (blue and red) had been pre-sold so the eBay listing is likely a "VIP".

Unfortunately that also means that the Jan. 15 on sale date is meaningless for a non-connected PINS fan like myself who had hoped to at least have a shot at one of the Reflections prints.

All copies available for VIP pre-order or all editions in total? Bc if it's the latter what's the point of a release 

[Cutkillavince]

So it's already sold out, right?

I was told that all of the copies for the two Reflections editions were pre-sold well in advance of the release day.

Only some of the small Observer prints will be available on Jan. 15. They are each an edition of 50 so not sure how many will actually be offered for sale that day.

[The Rat King]

They done it like this for ages , remember calleja ? Nothing new . The days of waiting in line on day of release are laughable to be honest

[Christian Avant Arte]

Hi guys, no! We did not sold anything yet, there is no one in the world who have bought these prints yet. But yes the pre order allocations are full, so the list with pre orders for the main and special edition are full.
This don't mean that nothing will be available at launch, we will have some available at launch. So pre orders are full but the prints are not all gone. But to be completely transparent we do pre orders, for the main and special edition there are all kinds of reason to do that but they main one is that we have higher chance that way to sell to someone who won't flip it the next day, I know this sounds ironic with the discussion in this thread. With the small prints we are more happy to take this risk and that is why we decided together with the artist to release, with almost no pre orders (at least 95% will be available).

On this one, yes we are working on this, how we can also give new potential clients the chance to become a loyal client. It helps by buying editions that are also not hyped and not everyone directly 'wants' but also we don't want you or anyone to buy something that you don't want to just get high on the list, but definitely engaging a lot with us helps, you can shoot me and email [e-mail] or [e-mail], or a message to our personal instagrams: christianluiten & curtispenning .
And we can chat about art and collecting etc and get to know you, or someone else from the Bussines gets to know you. We really try to give new collectors a chance or people that have missed out on earlier launches, but hope everyone also understands that we also need to take care of loyal clients and just make sure we sell to people we can trust (and this is hard as you can see haha)

There could be 100's on the list but all with different taste's, looking for different artist's work..

There should be no call to post this information. (and it's morally wrong from a business point if view)
