That's my favourite IF print.

[morrissey1]

But when I saw my Two People Lose track print I was blown away...the colours on it are so stunning....it's amazing too

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Of the new set in the end is my fav as well - it's the only one from the newest set that I could afford -

[valeha]

It's got to be Aya Ueto!

All eight are stunning, and to be honest there are others from the show that I'm begging blk/mrkt will yet release (though I've really no idea whether they will). For me, Deathstar is still probably just my fav of the eight. I also love Pikachu from that series. My fav. two from the recent series are In The End and Two People Lose Track. But it's all subjective and that's just my take. I honestly don't think any of the eight is at all weak.

Congrats Ian and blk/mrkt.

[morrissey1]

Im sad now that I didnt buy the set, but I couldnt afford it....I bought 3 (one of which I passed on to a forum member), and now I am left with two beautiful prints (that thanks to Blk Mrkt have matching numbers)....I guess a pair with matchining numbers is sitll neat.....

[valeha]

I agree all eight are stunning! My favourite of all eight is 'A girl sleeps through a storm thinking of something else'. Then Aya Ueto from the new set. I hope they release more!

[shavemysoul]

Moz - Two with matching numbers is very lovely. I don't think we'll realise our luck in another six months time when Ian's interest is likely to rocket. Blk/mrkt have been really fantastic IMO.

Valeha - agreed... I pray I'm by my comp if and when they release more. I don't think you can really point one out and say, 'ooh, hope that's not the one they release'.

agree totally!

I had the first 4 on my basket and decided to let them go so released them for someone else.

Now I want them back :-(

How come you released them?

[pw]

certainly 2k would be a bargain but i would expect these to sell for quite a bit more. as the dude says there wont be many opportunities to get a full matching set. most people will probably split the set and keep the ones they like best. then sell the rest to cover their costs.

Someone's going to get a bargain if they stay at £2k

I'd overspent at the time, and something had to give

I really want ' Pikachu' from the first set. I missed out when they were released.

[Dellboyy]

I bought Deathstar from the first set, and was SO close to buying pikachu but i stopped myself as i'd spent far too much! Of course i'm regretting it big time now, especially since i was refunded for this recent set due to not being on the list!

[Chuck D]

Deathstar is the Holy Grail of all IF's. I wish they would've made Two Girls Wait For A Train as a print. That canvas is absolutely amazing. The color of the blue is ridiculous.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Of the five Ian Francis prints I own...Deathstar takes the cake - I'll have to agree with you there.

[Gentle Mental]

I feel japanese couple is very special. it's iconic. a little bit different than most of Ian's work. It will stand the test of time as the slightly "odd" one.

[sausageboonwee]

I'm very keen to see some of his work in the flesh

I'm surprised how many of the latest prints have hit ebay

[Gentle Mental]

Ian francis seems to be the one of a few that can still command a whopping premium over launch price, despite current "flooded" print market.

i dont think its that many really. theres only 3 or 4 different sellers. once these have gone they'll probably crop up very infrequently.
most people are probably waiting to see what happens with the Laz show. as we all know from experience as soon as Laz gets involved the prices will probably double overnight.

[Gentle Mental]

why isn't everyone trying choke this one like they did with trolleys and micallefs? it's a good way to bring price down.

united we stand (to get it cheaper)

i think the difference is that these prints are from a very small edition and you probably wont get many chances to get them, never mind getting a full set. so its probably every man for himself so to speak.

[sjh]

What were the original prices were for both the Red Propeller & BLK/MRKT prints on release
