Wow. Just wow.
First tube quality, then ink quality, then paper quality and now numbering quality.
Image.... What image.

[mace]

Still can't believe they sold those for 150 bucks ! Faile rock !

[Happy Shopper]

So, is the AP the same colour as the others? Anything different?

The AP's aren't numbered which isn't ideal. What should I do?

Who is it not ideal for? Who cares if it's an AP or not, you were lucky enough to have gotten one... You obviously like the image enough to have tried to buy one so just be happy with it.

Ideal probably wasn't the right word to use - I just meant it's probably not quite as good as numbered.

Just to be clear, I love the image, I'm very happy to have got one of these and it will definitely be going on my wall. I just wanted to get some opinions on the right thing to do given that I've been sent something I didn't expect...

Yeah, I think it's the same. I got an olive one.

[ilmambo]

email the Patricks and ask them how many APs were made. problem solved?

[.dappy]

^^ see above. I have given you some help.

... some opinions on the right thing to do given that I've been sent something I didn't expect ...'

Just keep it team!

You were lucky enough to receive one while you were not supposed to!
I'm sure faile will send another one to the right guy as its not numbered!

But if you are a really nice guy, as we all expect you to be, you can just send it to Dappy!
He need it... ;D

Controversial possibly but I see the point here long term. If in a few years time it turns out the numbered versions are worth more than the A/P editions and you needed to sell it for whatever reason you would kick yourself for not doing something about it from the start.

Surely that's not gonna happen due to the fact there would be less of the artist proof editions. Or maybe some people have just too much disposable cash on here to care?

[Winter]

I'd keep the AP, nothing wrong with an ap as far as I'm concerned

[payney]

I have a email from Patrick stating there are only 10 AP's it was the first thing i asked when offered one I can forward it to anybody who wishes?


Have you seen the red AP somebody put photo on EB

It's red and navy, so some of the AP's are different

[teamzissou]

Cheers for the advice guys. I knew this would be a bit controversial when I posted but I still wanted to get some opinions on the APs versus the regular editon.

[t3c]

so gutted i missed this release. Guess I will try & get my first Faile in 2013 then

[payney]

My tube just arrived at my mothers ill go collect it soon and post pics

[hupster]

wahooooooooo

opened the faile tube and a cracking olive popped out.....

they have some nice hand finishing on them too........

post pics laters

[payney]

Got my AP its purple, the image has some sort of two tone blue/ black it's like it all over.

[cocos]

I went for the AP rather than first dibs on next print as I love this image. Purple colourway has just arrived safe & sound in London Town. Couldn't be happier with it - great size, loads of handwork and the new AP stamp on the back.

Fantastic work Faile. Bring on the next 11 (although I've clearly scuppered my chances of getting the next one!)

[jusdeep]

Here's some more pics of my green variant…

[Ruggs]

Nice that jusdeep. They're all lush but I do prefer the more muted olive one (if that's what it's supposed to be).

[pinballwizard]

Man these look tasty!

[t3c]

so there will be another 11 of these tasty 150 bucks a pop Faile's

maybe 2013 will be the year i finally get a Faile after-all

[payney]

Pink One on bay $750 £467

[shechtmr]

How are people considering framing these up? I think they would look sharp floated in a matte finished black frame with .5 inch spacers.

[jusdeep]

Something similar to that if the Mrs lets me get it on the wall

[twist65]

if she doesn't can I have first dibs?! =]

[Harveyn]

Simple black metal frame with museum glass, 15mm spacer and float mounted. Vintage easel from Ebay at £8.

[Coach]

Didnt know you managed to bag one H.
Great colour that baby blue
Looks very nice in that frame.
I soooo wanted one of these!
Once again, congrats to all you lucky buggers that scored.

[Mateo Spain]

Loving the black frame, really makes that baby blue pop. Yum
