Hi !


I know I'm not in the good forum's section, but I tried others with no answer and as I have to take a decision very quickly about that item, I just post in the most read section...


Quick question for you all :



Does that original drawing from Dran seems legit to you ? And if so, do you have an estimate for it ?

[Skizz 82]

If you want a small original ask tinypoubelle 😉

[sharky]

Ask Dran himself

[elisajafa]

Skizz 82 Thanks for your answer ! Yes I saw the post of tinypoubelle but he didn't answer for 10 days to someone asking if some drawings were left and what was the price...

sharky Oh yeah ? And how can I do that ?

[elisajafa]

sharky I found nothing on his website (even when I inspect the code)... And I just required access to his Instagram as it is not a public one. But I found his facebook (not updated since 2016...) and then left a message on Messenger.
Let's see

I think i owned that one at one time. i know the source of these drawings. yes its an original dran

[tinypoubelle]

The face is a photocopy, the rest is original. There are at least three that I know of with the same face and different bodies. A doctor and a priest I believe.

[elisajafa]

Thanks a lot @vtrapenard & tinypoubelle for your both "authentication" 👍.

(And many thanks again tinypoubelle for our discussion in PMs)

For the record, I have no idea who the photocopied Man is 🤣, maybe a famous guy in Toulouse (as Dran's favourite Toulouse restaurant's owner) ?

[elisajafa]

🤣 If you all wanna know who this guy is, as said sharky before (regarding an other subject) ;

What's seller asking for it?

900€

[tinypoubelle]

Bargain

[Skizz 82]

this like other sketches have long been on eBay. Prices are a bargain, obviously now you have a good provenance feedback

[tinypoubelle]

Whats the provenance?

They were drawn / created by Dran.

If you want a COA, there isn’t one. They were musings, ideas, sketches from his studio. They weren’t created for sale.

[Deleted]

yeah. Its like the fight club. And if you know, you know. And I know they were mine :-)

So whats the provenance if he isn't selling them himself?

Dran have a team of people that sell art for him, here you have forumites that know dran or dran’s management or have even had the pieces in question. I wouldn't need anything else

obviously it might not be enough to flip it, but to have one on your wall ....yes

[elisajafa]

For those interested, there was this one but unfortunately already sold now (today) for 1500€ on the bay :

www.ebay.es/itm/133602354249

And I think it was the last one on eBay, maybe some others can ne found on Catawiki or so, I didn't check.

But now (2 days ago) that Digart sold a Dran's painting for 158000€, I think people will search for Dran's artworks not for the beauty of his art but only for money flip, that's sad for people loving Dran for a while... I know that's the case for many artists and that's life, but as an art fan it brings me sorrow, and yes I know my all speach can be considerated very naive, but that's what my heart says.

[Skizz 82]

on this forum i saw amazing pieces for sale if you want to buy something you can wait here and see what comes out ... or contact dran's team on instagram

I subscribed to Dran's team on IG yesterday (@doretdesang isn't it ?) but I'm not accepted for now (it's a private account...)

And I waited here on the forum ans asked people, then I got contacts with the good people and finally bought 2 Dran's originals ! I'm so happy and excited to hang them up on my wall 😃!

[elisajafa]

Sure @cliffybyro 👍

[Deleted]

just so you know dran's management now sells his pieces 50-70K / piece so i would try to go on secondary where you ll find a better deal

Skizz 82 & tinypoubelle & all others forum members of this thread :

Do you really think that this drawing (the one I posted on the first post of this thread) is a bargain at 900€ ?

Dran could just flop in few weeks/months, or are you convinced he is assuming greater value and will continue to ?

Do you have buyers remorse already?

I think so but only you can decide if it is or not but seeing as you bought it I would say you do.

Or have you solely bought it on the back of starry night or do you genuinely like it? If you like it then enjoy it for what it is - a nice original piece.

I think we misunderstood each others (maybe because I'm french and my english might say something that I was not thinking about).

First I don't have remorse as I didn't buy it (I'm just talking with the owner right now).

I'm a Dran admirer and my only wish is to hang some up on my walls.

But you and some others of the forum called that drawing a "bargain" after I told the wanted price for it, so I'm just questionning you about that because I understood this term as "something great with a cheap price that will cost more in the future", but maybe by "bargain" you were just telling me that the drawing is beautiful, I don't know. That's my question.

Sorry again for the fact that maybe you didn't take my words for what I wanted to say.

[Skizz 82]

I think it's a bargain considering I love Dran and i paid similar prices to buy prints from source( although this sketch don t drive me crazy). You cannot know if it is a good investment; for me the only rule is: what I buy is to gratify myself and not to increase my capital (obviously better if both)

Prices from source are high but in that case you are buying in secondary market.

Many similar sketches was on ebay for months at that price. It’s life....you decide....😂😉

[John The Badgers]

Just reading through the thread elisajafa, and apologies, not the most knowledgeable on Dran, but I thing its a lovely little item?

Being an original, makes it certainly very special in my eyes, and actually like the image? Would look great on any wall.

I'm not the best on values, and re-read a couple of times, but surprised this 900 EURO? Thought it would be more or am I missing something.

All the best with the transaction.

I will show you when they will be delivered to me, framed and hanged up 👍.
