Hi, bit of a basic question, but has he only released 2 prints -
Where the Sun Does Shine and The Carnival Goes On
and is Laz the only place to get them? Cheers

[motor]

Yes, only those 2 so far.
Although there are 2 versions of The Carnival Goes On:
Regular edition of 100
Handfinished edition of 25

[rrrich]

more in the pipeline coming at some point, no specific dates and not all that soon.

nice and vague

[motor]

Laz as the only primary source.
However there is always the eeebay route.

[craigf]

How much was the hand finished version from Laz originally (pls)?

[br1stol]

£675 i think...

[Neate Michael]

If any of you fancy a cut price Where does the Sun shine then contact me... Mrs Michael doesn't like it much...

[markw99]

Spotted a hand finished one on the bay for about £1500 I think. Nice profit there then!
Does the print look good in real life? not sure how many favours the little jpeg on laz does it. Some of his other stuff is amazing, that van he did looks very cool

[seidbereit]

Is the standard version of Carnival Goes On still available? Brother's birthday coming up and devoid of ideas.

[displaced bear]

yea still available. just call up the printshop. and it looks pretty good. there's old threads about it somewhere on here. and davnuk's (sp?) framed looks great.

just got mine out the tube once again. it looks fantastic.its huge as well hence it still being in the tube cos framings gonna cost a fortune.

[ollys]

Its great having large prints but the framing cost always kills me. Just had a GIWTBB framed and cost me 255, beautifully framed though:)

[Neate Michael]

Where The Sun Does Shine is not so large, the new one was massive though... I saw it in the Laz print shop and wasn't too impressed by it. I much prefer the Where Does but alas Mrs Michael hates it.... Women

I see one of Connor’s books, the hand painted signed edition of 100, has just been sold on the bay.

gotta disagree on this (personal choice!)
One of the best prints I've seen in the flesh. Just incredible. Picking mine up from the framers later on today. And I cannot wait! Gone for a very chunky black frame with a thick mount.
I find it hard to believe that these are still available given that everything else (regardless of quality) sells out instantly elsewhere. Maybe it's because you can't purchase online?

what he said

[br1stol]

Yes indeed... Agreed.
My personal fav, and i think not a bad price at 300 notes.

Thank you very much displacedbear ;D

Seems like an apt time to repost the pics!

[displaced bear]

i need to get off my lazy bum and get to the framers w/ my hand finished so i can join this wonderful "club"

[markw99]

Print looks really good framed, blue looks really vibrant. Framing must be pricey on a large print, had my GIWTBB framed as well, cost me just over £200. Think Conor is a very talented bloke

[br1stol]

^^ Not as much as you might think...
I went to Niche Frames on the Croft in Bristol and had a chat. I wanted to keep the frame simple because there is so much going on in the image, and also to keep cost down. Used standard glass as it wont be in direct sunlight, but went for a chunky mount 6mm deep.
Total cost? £88 but he did it for £80...
Was very pleased with that, i tell thee!

[mainartery]

The new conor work would make great prints, i hope he release a few, hes by far the best artist on the scene by far imho

[br1stol]

Im a big fan too...
Would be great to see a new print of the more abstract 'background' stuff up at Laz - but would present me with a big monetry problem... I aint got none!

Agreed.....mine was £95 and it's honestly the stand out piece for my collection. Just incredible. Anyone thinking of getting one of these, just get one ordered, I'd be amazed if anyone regretted the purchase.
