If you missed out, Paper Monster have prints from Swoon,Supine and Bast very soon.

where did you hear bast and supine prints?

Paper Monster email.

[spencerlee]

Had it in my basket, but didn't like it quite enough so decided against. It's half the price of an original I am eyeing up, so will probably go for that.

[rrrich]

my first faile too. none of the rush of the last supine and enough time once i was in paypal to umm and ah. bought it, like it and look forward to getting it framed. cant be done on the price either, tho i hope i dont get hit too hard at customs.

[llkoolj]

i love Faile but this is in my opinion is the worst print they have ever done???

just no thought or am i just blind?

okay i am from the uk so the american flag is not as appealing

[punkwithtats]

I pulled the trigger on the book. Not too sure if it's filled with originals or not, but took a flier on it anyway. Hope it turns out alright.

I'm not much of a Faile fan but I'm with llkoolj - struggling to think of a worse one they've done. The more I look at this the less I like it. I've gone from thinking "All right but not for me" to thinking it's downright derivative without adding anything to the piece from which it presumably derives (someone mentioned Jasper Johns already) and, therefore, a bit dull to be honest.

Making something more accessible in terms of price is laudible but I think people shouldn't get the misguided idea that just because something is affordable it becomes a better piece than if it was, for example, released at the price of Faile's March releases. Simple question : would you pay $2,800 for this?

[ambrosiabaptism]

seems the book as been a longtime coming !

[graffalo]

Prints are still popping up.

[daveart]

Grabbed the Faile print - close enough dimensions to Banksy Have a nice day so i think it could match up the frame widths and stack them vertically on the wall.

the brits have plenty of union jack / queen / UK images about.. us flag isnt the best image but its a faile at less than $400 ! nothing to complain about there.

[ricobenfico]

Flipper Flippison is at it already!

[rosstierney]

my head's still battered over this book, the info & figures just don't add up! i hope they reply to my e-mail sooner than later...

[Happy Shopper]

Just put one in my basket too! But think I'll let this one go...

[otomi]

look at the artists:

Miss Van, Futura, Bast, Judith Supine, Jeffrey Lin, Paul Insect, Alexander Strube, Blu, Alex Lukas, MOMO, Sam3, Andrew Forteath, Hugh Frost, Mike Perry, John Voight, Mike Houston, Keiichi Tanaami, Kayrock Screenprinting, WK Interact, Rotguy with Alex Lukas, Charles Wilkin, Anthony Lister, Borf, Faile and Swoon with original stories and poems by Matthew Boyle, Griffin Creech and Marcus Downe

[daveart]

funny that people are bidding up the price on a 'sold out' print on an ebay - when they are still popping on paper monster

[graffalo]

Correction, not popping up but available again. I think that like the tate print this one will be around long enough for people to make up their minds. I suspect that the flippers jumped the gun. Haw haw.

[otomi]

the book says it is signed what is "post bound"

I hope this ebayer is the only person from Essex to buy the print. And Faile can then cancel the transaction.
