Nope. We - and when i say we I mean Ian and the gallery - responded to the overwhelming amount of positive communication from people wanting to see/own his work.

The quality issue is moot - of course each print series is of the same BMG quality, duh. If it was up to me we'd make prints of all of Ian's paintings - they are just that great. (not that we will of course, but you get the idea of where we're coming from.)

Yes, I have to agree with the gallery. I've got a print from each of the releases and they are by some distance the best quality prints I have.

I expected a bit a stick for this because I have previously said that I adore this print, (which I do) and would never sell it.

I hate to use that tired excuse of 'financial reasons', but this time its true. Due to circumstances outside my control, I absolutley must sell this print.

Thanks for listening!

Anyone want rid of these eyesores?
Hard cash, please pm me.

[tokyojeff]

I thought I just saw one at CampBarbara for 550 ?

[jipsy]

Yes, so did I but it's gone - weeks ago but they haven't updated the website.
Thanks for the heads up anyway.

[wezzley]

nice prints those, best of luck

[jipsy]

My missus has fallen in love with them, being colour blind maybe I can't see what she's getting so excited about but SHE WANTS THEM AND THAT'S FINAL.
I've already failed regarding the 21C Love that she needed to have so let's hope I get a result this time. Otherwise I'll be walking about pushing a wheelbarrow.

[wezzley]

should be a bit easier & cheaper than 21c...although there is only 25 each of these babies...think there is one on ebay at around 600..., but some went unsold recently for less.... If I were you - search under completed listings, and contact the sellers of the ones that didnt sell..I rekon you'd get them that way. Rgds.

[Lieberman]

shame - I just sold my copy!
I do have other prints of his if you are interested - www.liebermangallery.com

[ABC]

Me too Havana, they are great, good luck

[romanywg]

Have you tried www.redpropeller.co.uk/gallery.html

[slowmo]

I like the ghost boy can can on glass

[justinkase]

Ian Francis is the real deal. Love his work. He's having a solo show coming up in LA. Around the same time as the Micallef show. Stay tuned.

[ptunny]

I have been told by a reputable source that Ian Francis has been signed by Laz to have a show late this year.

[ptunny]

I heard this from Elms Lester...

[atkuefler]

I like his stuff and have been thinking of picking up a print or two. Anyone here have any of his stuff? How does it look in person?

[Friendly Ghost]

There seem to be several prints available at:
www.prime-arts.co.uk/originals.php?artist=114&style=&colour=&technique=

though the same pieces seem to be cheaper at:

www.liebermangallery.com/gallery.php?id=91

[atkuefler]

That is his older stuff. Check www.redpropeller.co.uk for his new prints. Run of only 25 and I think they are much better prints.

[slowmo]

This is fun, who can find it cheapest?
www.collectorsprints.co.uk/artist_page.php?artist=ian+francis

[atkuefler]

I win!!!!

[Friendly Ghost]

Depends on whether you're in the EU or not. For me, slowmo would win.

And I don't know about other folks, but for me... the three at redpropeller that aren't yet sold out aren't as appealing as the three that are.

Justinkase, do you have any other information about the show in LA? Where is it supposed to be?

[atkuefler]

I don't think that in the long run the edition of 250 will be as sought after as an edition of only 25. With that said it 75 GBP cheaper and they aren't sold out yet, but if you notice the one of the edition of 25 that is sold out just sold on ebay for 575 GBP. So I dont think you make a very good point.

[ABC]

Get them now before they become £750 quid each from Laz

[matbat]

hmm loving those images.........Definitely getting a limited 25. I really like the red chopper. I hope hes sucessful in L.A

[ptunny]

I Have already got Devouring Bunny from the run of 25
and Hotel Porn and Girl with Cat Grozny from the 250 editions.
