Just got word from home that my Adam Neate print arrived today. Will post some pics when I get off work. All the way to NYC in less than a few days. Booya

[ABC]

You wont be dissapointed, they are stunning

[Aza]

Great, you will love it!

[RBK]

Agree it is absolutely stunning! Please post framing jobs once available. I want some inspiration.

[redfred]

Just been quoted, wait for it , £1750 from Lieberman "gallery" for Paved with Gold, cheap or what !

[ricosg11]

sorry no pics came damaged and has to be replaced. Get this, the lady there, who mind you, was the kindest and most helpful person ever told me to take it to a framer to have the dinged edges cut off. Haha ill just take a replacement and please ship it properly protected this time.

You think they will sell for the above price? Thats nuts considering it took a whole month to sell out at 600pounds

[RBK]

I think they sold out in a matter of days ricosg11

[RBK]

This "art dealer' is also reselling them: www.campbarbara.co.uk/adamneate.html

i know i thought about it for a few days and i havent had that luxury in ages, must have just seemed like a month, haha. I did take a good look at it and its going to be a huge amazing piece when framed. This is some serious work.

LOL - so true given the current marketplace/forum hype/baggers/etc.

Have they agreed to replace it for you? From what I was aware they had no spares to make replacements

I picked mine up yesterday, it does look pretty amazing. I'm surprised they've gone up in value so much already, I thought at £600 they were well priced.

They probably haven't though. They are attempting to sell them at these prices, but not sure if anyone is buying them

[liveforever]

Ridiculous price but I'd be keeping mine even if they were selling at that

[ricosg11]

she said they could reprint my # or "figure something out"

And dont think I wont be measuring what they send back to see if they tried to cut odd the edges.

[Aza]

One of mine was slightly creased when the framer removed it from the tube. I sent it back to them and they refused to admit it was their error, even though it was packed so tightly into the tube with no breathing space at the tube ends.

They offered me a refund, but obviously I wanted the print, so told them to send it back to me. I have since forked out to get the minor crease repaired.

I am thinking that they may get a few more people complaining of creases due to the way they were sent. They should have used longer tubes and also had some back up prints to issue in case of problems!

Good luck with getting a replacement, let us know how you get on

[pezlow]

It really is amazing the number of damaged prints that people get isn't it. This really isn't rocket science. Wrap a print up with tissue paper or butchers paper, put lots of padding at the end, use a superstrong tube. Hey presto everyone is happy.

This is what the invader shop does and I gather Black Rat Press do too. Given that packing costs are passed on to the consumer anyway I cannot understand the laziness of just shoving it in a tube and hoping for the best.

especially when you factor in the cost to replace one +post it out. Would have thought it would only take one person to ask for a replacement and all the money you've saved would be wiped out. plus all the hastle.

It's even more annoying when you get blamed for the damage yourself!

Can imagine!

From what the lady at Elm Lesters told me was they were focussing on Neate originals and had no plans on any more prints in the near future. I could see why that would affect prices. Mine was extremely well packed and wrapped and came in a much 'looser' tube than the folk at POW provide.

[RBK]

Mine arrived in pristine condition.

[sausageboonwee]

Surprised none have appeared on ebay yet

[mcmcmc]

I would be tempted to buy one of CuntBay as it is the only way of getting a Calm Fear....

[ricosg11]

lil updatery... Big thanks to the Elms Lesters crew from making my exchange simple and easy. For the trouble of returning my damaged print I will be recieving 1 of 4 a/p's. Didnt know that was a good thing until I asked. I would have thought the #ed edition would be more desirable. Who knew???

They will certainly get my future business. Class act.

[corblimeylimey]

Similar thing happened to me with the Black Rat Press after I returned an unnumbered Blek Le Rat, it's most definitely a bonus.

[mammal2]

blek la rat rule. lovely bloke. amazing work. man that works through walls is simply one of the best prints this year!!

[mammal2]

yeah i have put 'works'. hes having a lunch break in a wall. i'll get my coat!
