Before anyone says 'its only worth what your prepared to pay' could someone tell me a rough percentage (on top of the original cost) that a HERAKUT would go for the secondary market.

Much obliged

[wiz]

I would imagine there are many factors to weigh up re current market stock / economic state of things / desireability of the work etc. pretty hard to say i think.
Edit. Nice work there Plurker.

plurker -- hang that bad boy up on the wall ;D

[dmf]

Thats great but can someone help with the original question?

[dmf]

Right! I've got 3500 and i would like one! but obviously i will have to like image

Go to Frankie, tell him how much you have, what you would like it of. Dog, naked woman, children, sick looking people, dwarf, whatever and he will fix it for you.

i think they are pretty busy with shows in the coming year. they were booked pretty solid this year. just try to get on a list, or call a gallery they have shown with lately and see if there is anything left.

Ask Seth at Carmichaels and also have a look at Urbanangels site for secondary market pieces.

Maclaim and Hera were recently in Mexico

great characters, but Maclaim can't do letters to save their lives I'm afraid.

[bradpitt]

They pretty much nail it in the photorealism department, a favourite of mine



Lettering looks all good to me, but I don't know shit about lettering!

what's wrong with it?

[wiz]

Me too Brad but then what would i know?.

[bradpitt]

For the original question dmf, it's much nicer to source the art direct and know some of the money is going to the artist. Frankie is the UK source

[remirough]

it's a bit styleless... and considering how advanced their character painting is i expect a lot more than old school new york graf, it looks completely out dated and out of place imho.

[wiz]

I suppose everyone has their own opinion on things like that really Remi, see to me Herakut and Maclaim are excellent at what they do and in my opinion they do it well.

[remirough]

absolutely mate, as far as characters, backgrounds, concepts go, they're amazing... but their letters are atrocious... any graf writer into lettering would say the same I'm sure, but I love their characters.

[bradpitt]

I'm sure with time they will only improve, as you say their characters are amazing. Also everyone knows Germany is 10 years behind us in most things, maybe they just caught on to the new york style

Have you seen this little Herakut number Wiz? thought you might like it

Thats a lovely piece Brad, i like it a lot.

[Martin Whatson]

I've got to agree with remi here.
But they sure ass hell compensate for it with characters.

I wouldnt mind a herakut original tho!!

[Martin Whatson]

Man, have you ever been in Berlin?
Fewkin amazing city for Graf lovers!
I shot 2000 photos in 3 days.
Not too many artists out there that is great in both characters and letters!
