Now that will be seen as a bargain

agreed. even if you only look at it from an investment point of view its cheap. if he has a show with Laz next year, he could easily become as successful as Micallef.
but of course as they always say, you shouldnt buy art as an investment! you should buy these cos they're beautiful!!

[rydal]

But then look at what Laz has done for the value of AM prints!! (although I accept there are other factors as well)

[Cocteau 101]

IF should just continue to produce low edition sizes and cracking images and he can't go wrong. Fuck all this saturating the market crap, flippers pray off larger edition sizes not small ones. The scene is now well known so collector exclusivity based on no fucker knows about it anyway has receded so if the idea is to give people the opportunity to own an image they love, then produce a large edition of one print (like SOS LV) and keep the smaller editions for the diehards.
Anyway IF will only get bigger imo but only buy it if you plan to hang it, if you want to make money buy renewables and fuck off.

Spot on mate. And I shall be seeing you and your IFs tomorrow Sir. Wanna let me run home with 'Two People Lose Track'? ;D I've gotta get this print soon though seriously.

Anyone wanna consider swapping/selling theirs?

[qwertystar]

I'm looking for an original Ian Francis please. If you have one you may consider selling please PM me with details.

Thanks

[Cocteau 101]

So am I

[bob1]

[manty]

Oh go on then, i'd hate to miss out :-)

[Zippy]

[manchestermike]

I'm next

[qwertystar]

Let's get one and share it. I'll have custody at the weekends!

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Would anyone like to swap either a Japanese Couple for my Ian Francis Girl in NY Waits A Long Time for Merlin Bronques or one of the prints from the newest release? I have In The End, so would be looking for one of the other ones.

Thanks for your time and consideration concerning this offer.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Hi all -

I have my newest Ian Francis - In The End ....print - beautiful as it is, I'd prefer
either Two People Spend the day in the snow or Two people lose track of where they are.

Looking for an even swap here - preferably someone from the us to avoid heavy shipping charges - and the taxes that someone would have to pay in the u.k.

Pm me if you're interested.

Thanks.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Thanks, Bigman.

I'd also swap it for a Japanese Couple but, that to me, seems an unlikely trade.

[patrese]

wow...i got all 4 and i thought 2 people lose track was the 'least good' (still excellent) of them!!

agreed.

[Dellboyy]

Two people loose track is definitely my favourite of the bunch, and i'm still quite annoyed i got refunded by blk/mrkt!

[cadence]

Two People lose track is my fav, two people in snow is my 2nd fav.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

something about the royal blueish color in in the end bugs me...I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm not going to sweat it if the swap doesn't happen - just putting it out there.

[Matt-lock]

2 People Lose Track was one of my favs from the pics but after receiving all of them it just doesn't pop like the others do in my opinion. Don't get me wrong I still think it's one of the best prints out there...I'm just comparing it to the other 3 in the set. Aye is my fav now I believe (which was actually my least fav from the pics).

I am after 'The Death Star explodes! No, a Chinese weather satellite' - to be precise - by Ian Francis.

Please PM if you have one and have the space in your heart to make me very very happy!

Thanks
V

[shavemysoul]

Good luck. It's a stunning print and my personal fav from Ian's Blk/Mrkt releases. I'd never ever relinquish mine. It's just a stunner. (Sorry, that wasn't much help was it?)
