Really don't get the hype around MW.

[snoozy]

Really liked some of the earlier images with small tags, one small step, stag, toucan etc, all seemed nice...but now the tags are taking over, and yeah, too busy for me.

 I was thinking same, this would have been so much better with a Minimalistic approach, maybe a lighter gray background and some well placed graffiti tags on the scuba tank. Could have been hung vertical or horizontal and been easy on the eyes aesthetically.  

This looks like one of those pictures you have to stare at to see the scuba diver. Looks Terrible IMO.

As someone who has a few Whatson’s - this is an easy pass, especially at £750 after vat/delivery.

It’s just an average stencil image plonked on top of a tagged background. We’ve seen how many Rock Climber prints (similar concept) that people have offloaded after that release and this will go the same way.

[china man]

Take the diver out of it would look better? Either way it’s not for me.

Interesting to see that it‘s no more called „lottery“ but instead „application“… Might be an explanation that certain collectors have always been „lucky“ in the lottery in the past

This recent “Lighthouse” release via Harman Projects really hit the mark with how the tags work best. Unfortunately I was not successful to buy this one, so will be on my list next year. 😀

I agree. It’s never a “lottery” unless there is a video showing the random pic.

Semantics - someone finally realised you need a license to run a lottery in the UK..

That aside - I like this print

His best release for 3 years and so

Slang.org claims "TH" = trying hard. It is nearly in every piece. Is that what that stands for in MW art?

Each item I find myself searching for the four-letter words of PUSH and THIS, counting up the letter A's and locating a bean with wings like it is a puzzle.

Damnit, now I can't stop looking for the bean with wings

GP have now announced that they have extended the deadline to apply by one extra day.

Sounds like they are not getting as many people apply as before. Even the flippers are realising this is not worth it.

[Poster Bob]

OMG, if they did not have enough applicants to sell everything. HAHAHAHAHAHA

[┏( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)┛ EnS]

I love the new style…

Think it might have more to do with the discrepancy in the original email, which said that the deadline was Tuesday 12th July. The problem being that Tuesday was the 11th of July... So it's not so much an extension as a clarification.

To avoid disappointment, I just didn't apply

In this current climate, a lot of artists have been found out. The price of this release is too high and there is too many variations. I don't care what anyone says, most people buy art in the hope the value does not go down, therefore people are looking at this and thinking it is poor value for a new release. Flippers cannot flip this for a worthwhile profit, so it will be sold to a few die hard MW fans who want a bit of all he has. The wider market at this price point is not there, hence the extension to register. I think inflated print prices are at an end and publishers need to rethink strategy or the artists will go from stagnate to decline.

If this is true everyone who has put their name down for one will be offered one. We shall find out soon enough I suppose. I agree it’s priced too high but this is only happened because of people flipping every other release. Just rising in accordance with the market. Times are hard at the minute with a lot of spare cash being eaten up by interest rates. Prints in general are way over priced and always have been. Might put my name down just to test your theory..

[crozbar]

More interested to know what looks like something different from Whatson on the front page of Graffiti prints website. Big signature and dated 2023, hand torn edges, looks to big to be a COA or mini print.

[FЯ]

its the corner of the scuba diver print

Whilst i know GP shows general care in the best print and most amount of colours or how complex something is to do etc etc. No one is debating that.


But the subject should be good first.

Unless someone just buys something for the amount of colours of print process, in which case fair enough

[tranito]

Laughing out loud at the theory window to apply was extended because there weren't enough applications to sell out everything.. You have to be completely out of touch to believe MW went from nearly impossible to score on a lottery to, not being able to sell out his stuff.. in what, months? Lol. As usual, a very high % will swing and miss at this.

[snoozy]

Well, I got emailed to say I can have a HF blue.... and it's the 1st time ever that has happened for me in, well, ever.
So something is defo amiss!

I'd love a MW, although I think the most recent releases are a little lazy. I thought the earlier work was much more interesting. I suppose it doesn't help with the living crisis and high price points either. 

[snoozy]

Not pulling the trigger, but sort of proves that there can't be many out there after these if I've been chosen 🤣

[Someone Like You]

obviously they are overpriced...

[jamo]

No email here. Same for two other friends who applied. So not a case of everybody wins. But I guess we know everything on this forum….

[snoozy]

I'm guessing, that's all, that due to cost, a lot went for the main edition?
I only asked for the blue HF, so maybe that...or, my luck came in when I least wanted it to 🤣🤣
