Yeah that bottom piece had a hidden detailed cyber robot weiner/cock in there blasting all over in the center of the head. Dead serious.

Maybee through the installation he's saying "(I'm) or we're all surrounded by a bunch of big pussies, and assholes" Pretty hardcore for a formal Japanese Heritage Museum.

But that's why Choe's so dope, cuz he does what his artistic mind says to do regardless of what society says is right.

As I believe Ben Snow said in the post. It's easy to hate on choe. Because he's sooo good that he bangs out a piece that solid and can just roll it up and do something else.
His ability to create great work - quickly - is quite amazing.

So quickly/efficiently he doesn't realize how great they are to the extent that the piece on the bottom has all kinds of wrinkle marks from being loosely rolled. He's done killing it on this piece. Now it's onto the next. sweet how his process is.

how the english language has changed since i was a lad

[bozwick]

If anybody has one and wants to sell then please let me know! Cheers

[Cocteau 101]

Same here - sorry bozwick hope you don't mind.

[bozwick]

Thats cool, anybody else? ;D

[mookie]

and me.

[Zippy]

it's a stunning print and I hope those who got will post a picture of the actual piece on its arrival.
I am selling my Sound Eyes and Tryptich pieces and hope to use the funds to get one of these.
I really love my City Girl but I feel this one will easily be my favourite choe so far.

Please post up a piccie of you were lucky enough to get one.

And can i put myself down in the queue as 'looking to buy'.

[Zippy]

Any ideas on how much they were at cost / what they are now trading hands at?
I am aware of the one on ebay and thought it might be over priced but it could turn out to be market price?
thoughts?

[Martin Whatson]

555 @ cost Zip.
I would love one, but not at $5k! :S

[mookie]

Once people start getting them in hand maybe some will appear... I would hope / and be happy to pay £1-1.5k to pick one up but who knows... maybe wait and see how the first few sales go as these could go at a premium. These are massive and if not framed I would imagine most ending up stored in the tubes which might result in damage... these will be a nightmare getting back in the tube again without causing damage... i think it states they should be removed from tube by a professional framer.

[packet]

$600 at cost really. $555 + $45 shipping to the US, $75 international.

These will go for $2000 or less IMO.

Choe's secondary market prices are not very strong. City Girl 150s trade hands regularly for below $1000. The Jimi Hendrix print which had many people clamoring over it with it's large size and limited run now sits unsold on expressobeans at around $1800 I think.

This is an impressive print, I wish I had one, but what makes it above and beyond Choe's other premium works which dont do much via ebay?

[manty]

Can you put me on the list too, because i'll feel left out otherwise

thanks

[ksedge]

the printer - bobby namba - is selling A/P #8 of 10 on ebay right now. still fairly low at this point.

cgi.ebay.com/David-Choe-Death-Blossom-Print-Signed-and-Numbered_W0QQitemZ320441946858QQcmdZViewItemQQptZArt_Prints?hash=item4a9bd412ea

kinda seems weird to me that he's selling it on ebay. don't think choe would really give a care anyway.

it also says the original 38 prints came with a bonus print - does anyone know of this?

my friend got one - i can't wait to see it in person! it looks like there's lots of hidden detail in it!

[leumasdarnley]

He sold a Jimi a/p this way as well which was published on the blog so I guess this is the norm.

The bonus print is in reference to a COA that is basically a smaller reproduction of the print itself.

It really does look good in those closer detail shots! I have a Jimi and the print quality is the best I've ever seen.

I just paid $1,600 ($1,000+cost) for one of these. I love the print, and IMHO, there is nothing I could get at that price that I want more. I may be kicking myself in a few months if they drop well below that, but at least I'll be kicking myself in front of my framed Death Blossom.

I doubt they will drop far below that, if at all. The last two choe releases seem to have more demand... not all that many on the secondary market yet, and very few of the hendrix print have been appearing

$1600 doesnt seem like too bad a price.

Very few Hendrix have been appearing on EBAY, but you can get one for 1499 on expressobeans

I am afraid you will need to hand it over to Bozwick as he was first in the queue.
Did you take a ticket?

[mutant]

Not mine. Here is one on the ebay with a BIN price $1579:

Item number: 230393801086

Unfortunately for US buyers only. Good luck.

[Cardiff]

Someday I hope to become better versed in forum que etiquitte...oh well, at least Boswick can save $21 and buy directly off of EBay.

I'm going to sit by my front door and wait for this print to arrive.
