I'm reading a lot of praise for this, but no reasons as to why it is so good. I'd be interested in why this is so exciting...?

Must say it took me a while to get it stuey..was not overly impressed on 'first look',didn't understand what made it so appealing at all.

Then it began to slowly grow on me, struggled with the phoenix image as found it overpowering(makes sense now!).

I prefer some edition numbers more than others, but it was after I had gained the full background history on MEAR ONE, then the background sketches made sense,as did the philosophy.
The step by step processes involved really got me intrigued(as I'm new to art generally) and I began to 'feel' and interpret my own angle on this edition.

Also, I must be me being unable to refuse a good 'handjob' finish! hehe!

Respect to all involved and contributors to this thread, especially Baurmann Gallery..roll on 9pm tonight!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Completely SOLD OUT.... in less than 2 minutes w/ me and MEAR even parting with 2 we were planning on keeping...The majority even got thier email in w/in 5 seconds after 1PM PST, so people must have been watching that clock and hitting send ASAP!

[Baurmann Gallery]

Thank you to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Baurmann Gallery]

Too many emails to sort….Actually, I am wrong again…21:02:06 was the time I thought I sent the last email out at, but that was a response to someone who had sent 2 emails, the first the person sent at 21:00:04 PST. With how many people who got it right on the dot, I wanted to make sure I checked into it closely so I did not accidentely send someone a link who emailed later than another person...

Last time for order taken [via sent email]: 15:00:05 PST

So basically, 5 seconds…I am speechless….

Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..again..quality speaks..

Anyone on the forum manage to snag one?

[ikeamonkey]

I luckily got one today. Thanks again Derek for setting this up and educating the buyers on the process and quality going into what we are getting. Its pretty much an original at an affordable price! I am looking forward to getting this and framing my first Mear One!

Cheers,
Tan

I got one, & I can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Having seen the process pics, it's surely the case that the pictures can't do it justice. I'm expecting a lot of depth, texture & detail.
Mear One has a good street pedigree as far I can see, but these works are really another dimension. Incredibly intense. Some are quite apocalyptic even.
If it's half as good as I'm expecting, it would have been cheap at many times the price.
A massive thanks to the Baurmann gallery for making such a remarkable piece affordable.

PS If you haven't seen the process pics for Mears 'David & Goliath, be sure to check those out too:

Very fortunate to have also got one, this is quite unlike any other release I have seen recently. They can only be described as a series. When I first saw the post I thought it was print relesase with reworking, these are just plain originals 1/1 and you really do not get those at affordable prices these days. Full marks to the gallery and artist.

I look forward to seeing the forum catch over the coming weeks.

[stradled]

No email back yet, so guessing I missed out!

Well done everyone who got one, seems a great deal for a great image and well done Mear One for a brilliant print/original. Those process pics are very impressive

[gtf]

If anyone finds that they don't like it or the cost of shipping, etc. is too high, etc PM me the number you've got and we can try and sort something out.

Cheers.

Looks like quite a few people kept quiet til after the release then! (cant blame you for keeping the hype low tho!)

..the fact that each one is basically a 1/1 original of 30 just tops it off really, cant wait for the postman to bring mine!

..oh, plus the stencilled packaging which appears very heavy (hence P&P costs!)-least it will be safe! ;D

5 second sell out! Amazing Well done Mear One and Baurmann Gallery ;D

True
Every time someone added a comment to this thread, I winced! I had hoped this would stay well off the radar since Mear One is not well known (at least in the UK). The email to the board by Silky was not pleasant reading!

Big shout out to Derek from me too..your a gentleman sir

[ikeamonkey]

Hey Derek,

You have an ETA for our M1's? No hurry, just trying to figure out where to put it in my place. Thanks in advance for the update.

Cheers,
Tan

They just got shipped out today. For USA orders, hopefully some people should start recieving them as early as tommarrow. For the UK, it is estimated the shipping time is around 5 days, depending on Customs. The tracking info should have been mailed to the email account associated with the purchase.

Thank you all again for the support and extremely kind words!!!

[chablis]

Got my tracking info.. as at a few minutes ago...

Your item left the United States from LOS ANGELES at 10:18 AM on February 29, 2008.

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Thanks very much.

Silky,

It is amazing how many emails I have received referencing the mass forum email…some being exposed to the work for the first time, others cringing due to their long standing knowledge of MEAR’s career and knowing that email was going to make getting an edition extremely difficult...

MEAR has always had a tremendous fan base in the US and Europe [especially France and Germany], but as new people have come onto the art scene and become interested in graffiti and street art in general, exposing his body of work [from the streets, editions, and originals/masterpieces] to as many new people as possible is a very incredible thing to be able to do!

Thank you again for bringing MEAR to so many new homes, especially in the UK. Thank you for also informing many of his fans about the release too, so they had a chance to not miss it. My respect for what you have done with this site is tremendous!

[Baurmann Gallery]

Here are some additional close up shots:

[Baurmann Gallery]

I will continue to keep everyone updated about future releases as well! MEAR and myself wanted to thank everyone again for all of that tremendous support!

Here is a special sneak preview of an in progress edition [many more details to come shortly]…this is a test print with only 6 colors laid down here so far, with more layers, changes and colors to be added. This is #3 of 9 in his series with hand painted/drawn separations.

Great to hear it all went down so well ;D Its an honor to be able to help, and just be in a position to make a difference ;D Thank you!

Like the number three a lot, cant wait to see more pictures of the continuing process Derek!

[chablis]

Mine is waiting for me at the local Parcel Force depot, unfortunately it did not escape the notice of customs, so vat and a clearance fee due. Got home this evening minutes too late to go and collect it so tomorrow it is.

Which one will it be....

[chablis]

Well it's 30/30 and very nice it is too. Well protected in a flat pack between hard board, a very nice bonus is that the inside of my hard board is stencilled and signed. In my view, that offsets the custome fees nicely.

Thanks very much Derek and my compliments to Mear One, as I said in an earlier post these are all originals, the only common thread is the stencil so a great series and a very nice addition to my collection.

I would like to hear what other Forum members were able to snag.
