What size is it Mike?

Like the idea of having the chance to win the original too

[EdgeArt]

Hi CG

The print is 61 x 61cm on Somerset Radiant White 225g Art Paper.

The original is a little smaller, approx 55 x 55cm although I will confirm this on Monday

Available today at 2pm

£25 is a bargain! It would be rude not to get one at this price

[graffoto]

what an original and innovative way of selling art - and a competition too! - don't know why other galleries don't try it. Nice piece though from Martin - one of his best.

It was actually something we had been discussing doing before Red Propellor started it (around the time of Small Is Beautiful) as we had seen timed releases work well before (they've been around some time!) but we took a while to source the printer we wanted (although I'm sure it doesn't look like that)

We are releasing one print every 3-4 weeks, not on a weekly basis, and by keeping the edition limited to the number sold in 24 Hours we are keeping the costs as low as possible and supporting our artists' work in the current financial climate.

We're also delighted with this release that Martin offered the original work to someone who buys the print, as Danny O'Connor's print sold 24 and Replete's 17 this means that someone is probably in with an exceptionally good chance of winning the original work.

if RP hadn't flogged this horse to within an inch of it's life - you probably wouldn't meet this resistance Mike

[hlarmy]

Childish bitching aside, it's still a very good idea that works well in these times.

Good luck Mike and MW...

[13loco]

I'm one of the 17 of Replete and if it helps is one of the best prints I've purchased for a long time...

I couldn't believe the very low edition for those beauty

[wizzy]

Cant be a bad idea to get more affordable Artworks to people i reckon no matter who does it.

[ozychilds]

I like the print, like the price. So not too fussed about whether it's an innovative mechanism of selling or not

[Daniel Silk]

People moanin about a gallery selling art too cheap! plus the chance of the original.

Dont worry about it Mike Ya just cant win with some people, if its too expensive ya wrong! if its too cheap ya wrong!

[barnsy]

Hey, It wasnt a bitch, as I said great intiative, more galleries should do it, there is always someone who starts something, and often the more takeon the idea and more often than not, do it better! So Mike, well done, thats what I was saying!

[bazzj04]

Like the idea of this , ive brought a couple from RP , and love the idea , nothing wrong with doing this too, affordable is great for me. Really like this piece too,

[ozychilds]

I've bagged one! I reckon this is going to be a beaut in the flesh. Anyone else get one?

[Martin Whatson]
