Prints looking good and thanks for sharing production pictures. Great to see edition sold out, I for one am really looking forward to getting the print on the wall as well as in a little way supporting a great Charity.

Being nosey, but see a Eskimo on paper and a few canvases lying on the floor, whats the story or is that for another thread?

By the way love the Cans pieces, is that you by the ladder?

The pieces laying around are all works in progress. 'Cans' was absolutley Brilliant for me and I was lucky enough to be made some mindblowing offers. I'm so excited by recent events and it's starting to look like there may well be a few releases from me very shortly, including a collaboration with another artist from this very forum.
Sorry to be so vague, but as soon as something is made concrete i'll be sure to let you know.

Not sure what picture you're refering to but I was working @ 'Cans' for over 5 hours and it could well be me in the picture.

Grafter, from the few pieces I've seen of yours, I think there is a clarity and crispness of image and of concept that are apparent. I'm glad you found the Cans Festival was productive for you and hope that you can go from strength to strength in your art.

I'm really looking forward to receiving this piece and chuffed to have had the focus to donate to such a worthy cause thrust upon me. However skint one is, some purchases are just too enjoyable to turn down! I'm already in hiding from my bank manager, so an extra nifty hopefully won't push him over the edge!

Great to hear that cans was good for you and it has opened up a few opportunities. No problem with you being vague, you have to be carefully what you say on here as threads can end up having a life of there own (diamond dust).

Agree with heavyconsumer that some images and causes must be supported even if it results in upsetting the bank manager or one who must be obeyed ;D ;D

[Heavyconsumer]

she who must be obeyed will no find out for months! If she likes it that will not need to be an issue anyway as there are plenty of others to keep her moaning! Besides she's big on charity!

[stuey09]

Well done Grafter. Looking forward to seeing some more street work.

[stradled]

Likewise, love the look of this print.
Not that its likely to make me on the reserve list, but put me down for one.

[Heavyconsumer]

Seeing as this is now officially oversubscribed, why not consider upping it from 1 AP to 3 or even 5? After all it's for a good cause and it appears that the demand is there! If you do decide to do that, let me have one of the APs would ya!! ;D

Excellent idea. I would exchange for AP 3 with Diamond Dust ;D so you can make another 4 people on the wait list happy and generate additional funds for the MAWF

Beautiful print Grafter and it sounds like there's exciting times ahead for you...congrats.

I'd be up for that
Chuffed to be on the list. It's a great piece and for a good cause.
Really pleased Cnas was so good for you mate.
Saw the pics of your work - looked great.
Cheers

No offense meant but I think everyone is jumping the gun a bit. In the end it is Grafter's decision but IMHO the edition should stick as originally planned 50 plus one AP otherwise where does it end. Grafter's decision to do this was incredibly generous and I look forward to getting my print but I am also keen that he can finish this and turn his attention to his various new projects.

Anyway having a few people on a stand by list means if anyone has to drop out then the edition will still be sold out.

Just my opinion and not stated to offend or deny anyone, feel sorry for those that might miss out but at least there was a few days to decide unlike a lot of recent prints.

P.S. If there is any diamond dust floating around I hope a little ends up on my print ;D ;D ;D ;D

P.P.S Plucked up courage to tell the one who must be obeyed about buying the print, skyped her as currently in Spain so cannot shout or hit me, she likes it so can o on the wall as soon as I get it ;D ;D ;D

Nice one Grafter.
Just seen this thread. Count me in if there are lots of dropouts.

[Heavyconsumer]

Your work, or what I can see from images online at least, looks to be of a very high standard and I really enjoy most of it a lot so far, including this piece. When's Silky gonna sort you out with a red nametag?

When's Silky gonna sort you out with a red nametag? I don't think there can be any question that you can punch your weight with other stencil artists!

Hi,
Took some time out yesterday to work on the canvas release for this piece and thought I'd give you all a sneak peak.




There will be 10 canvases + 2 AP's. They measure 24x18 inches and are on 4cm thick box frames. The release will be handled through a well respected online gallery that you all are familiar with and should happen early next week. Details to follow.

Also been working on a print run of another piece due for release shortly through another well known gallery. Here's the 1st test spray. It's on 300gsm Arches cold pressed paper with deckled edges, and I'm really pleased with it. Enjoy

[iAmCxxx]

Better late than never...but if there's any left then I'm definitely in. Seeing your stuff more and more around East and I'm liking. Cheers.

[dazlad]

WANT ONE

[mocksy]

Liking the Canvas' too Grafter.........There is definately a lot of interest in your work.

Keep it up ;D

[Run Pig Run]

cool, I love victor meldrew!

I don't believe it! etc.

[Heavyconsumer]

Both the canvases and other print are looking great mate. Congrat's on getting the gallery hook-ups. I hope this is the beginning of a great success story for you.

[Grafter]

ok, here we go....

They are all done....
The edition was oversubscribed by 7 people so I have decided to enlarge the edition to 57 +1 AP. I know some of you may be disappointed with this but it is only another 7 and it does ultimately mean more money raised for the make a wish foundation.
That is my decision and the edition is now....CLOSED.

I fully understand if anyone doesn't want to take up their place. Just let me know.

Heres some pictures of the final piece.







Here's how the payments will work.

I will shortly PM you all asking you to send me your e-mail address. Then I will invoice you directly through Paypal the amount due (£50.00 +£8.00 P&P). If you live outside the UK please let me know and I will adjust your postal charge accordingly.

I hope you all like the finished print.It's been hard work but a lot of fun and your support in this project has been an inspiration.

Thank You

GRAFTER
