Ouch!

Crazy IMO, I really like my two Mantis prints and personally I don't care if they sell at under £50 because I'm not selling mine.

Good time to buy.

[Imoy-San]

My iNeed or AFD aren't going anywhere in a hurry.

[worlddomination]

The market is generally quiet, but the ineed image will always be a winner and has long term appeal imo

[buffin]

I Need is great from what I have seen of it but there has been a gradual decline in quality ever since imo. Fingers crossed he can get back on track.

[Harveyn]

I'm with you CBL. Whilst most of collection is moving to originals I am keeping this one. Did not pay over the odds in the 1st place due to a kind forum member.... ;D ;D ;D

[corblimeylimey]

Great bit of framing there harveyn

That looks superb CBL.

It suits the prints perfectly.

[scavos]

As ever, it's all down to personal taste but this is without doubt, one of my favourite pieces. An image that will stand the test of time, as will AFD. I totally agree with CBL, it's a great time to buy Mantis' work, if of course you like it.

[dgmetal]

[snakes]

Very nice scavos. Nearly got that one myself but had to duck out in the end!

SBFO 15/15 don't belive the hype.

Give it time an most of those shell prints will be selling for peanuts, once the hype has dies down and people realise what a poor print it is.

Touch wood there will be a few bargains to be had over the next few months once the interest rates start to soar and house prices start to drop and so on.......

Not the real dinars matey. The reclamation of stolen iraqi money by a us soldier into anti war street art was a beautiful example of this art movement and those prints will always be highly sought after. Of course the other prints that were just copies, just kind of missed the point.

Yeah i am with you on the 40 edition as firstly they have a story and secondly it is a superior quality print and was nicely executed.

The 125 however IMO looks shabby in comparison, be it with the shell logo and then the drips! Quite shocking. But it was no doubt re worked for the 125 edition to jump onto the hype from the previous releases, to fill the demand this forum had created again due to overhype and to make a dice bit of dough for the found show!

[catfelix69]

I sill need a erm... ineed - anyone want to sell offers over £300

[mainartery]

I think some people are to bothered about resale, I never buy a piece thinking about selling it. If I love the work I buy it, end of.

I don't understand that attitude to be honest. With all due respect I think thats taking the anti flipping sentiment one step into the never never world of LA LA land. You must have money to burn. Why don't you just buy a replica if thats the case?

[corblimeylimey]

I agree with mainartery to a certain extent, obviously even if you were keeping the art it wouldn't be very nice knowing that it's worth £200 tops if you paid over £1000 for it. But these Mantis prints (and lots of others that 'we' tend to buy) are around the £100 mark from source, even if they're only worth £50 in the future that really doesn't matter if you weren't going to sell, and wouldn't really hurt if you only got half your money back if you did sell in the future as at least you'd of had the enjoyment out of them for that time.

[craigf]

I would also really like an ineed. I'm not so taken by AFD and Evolution, but each to their own

Hi Jon0. Where did you get that from fella? Is that a sticker? I've seen these street pieces on Mantis' site but haven't seen any sign of a release.

Hi- sorry for delay in reply, not been online for a wee while. Pleased to say this is not a sticker but the real thing. He did this a while back when visiting and now i think if i move the door will probably go with me!

[arcam]

That's cool ;D

[Opus Underground]

I just got my 'All Fall Down' print off eBay today and its well nice..... dunno bowt the rest of his images but I think the backlash toward artists is a bit harsh at the moment!

A

P.S Nice door by the way! ;D

[scavos]

Superb! Not sure lady scavos would appreciate old Jack gurning down at her whilst luxurating in her bath of asses' milk surrounded by t-lights to the dulcet tones of Buble, but I fuckin' love it!!!

Yep, take the door with you where ever you move to. ;D

[carlito]

after some amazingly fast flipping of SBFO, and stories of familes and offices being brought down to buy up the copies...how should Frankie release Evolution to stop some of the p*ss take business acumen some ppl showed?
