It is a stunner of a piece but £820

[bored with screen names]

Wasn't me that got it!

Unbelievable!

I wonder what the City Girl ed.76 would be worth on the secondary market.... Wouldn't have minded getting one of those but the way things are going, theres' no chance

I doubt the city girl 76 will ever be worth much more than the 150. City girl 150 is his most celebrated piece. I would imagine this time next year we will look at £820 as a steal. Hound dogz are hand touched up too and nicer than city girl 76 IMO but i bet we see people wanting to swap them for a city girl 150. Saying that, don't listen to me, I thought Baldwin was a winner.

lol ;D ;D ;D ;D

I much prefer the 150 version.
However the 76 has the uniqueness of each print going for it
Really looking forward to seeing the Hell Houndz prints, and what he has done to make each one unique!
Just wish Jimmy would get on with posting them out

[scavos]

This thread reminded me about my Hell Houndz order. I don't want to hassle Jimmy but have just emailed himand will let you know what he says.

[Aza]

cool scavos
they have probably embarked on a new adventure, hopefully be back soon

[bonesy]

I got my Hell Houndz and the hand embellishing is really VERY minor. In thinking about it though there is really very little "play area" within the print. It looks great
I personally prefer the City Girl 76 to the 150, but maybe that cause I have a 76 and not a 150

Mine got caught by customs and has been sitting there for days, I only just paid the £25 by phone. Are you sure you haven missed the customs letter?

[Aza]

Nah not seen anything yet.
did you get confirmation it had been sent?

I don't think i received any shipping details from the the Choe HQ.

I got a customs form saying something was stuck in the customs in london and and a demand for £25 to release it (from usa) ...... and another American delivery company tried deliver something to my house but but 'failed'. They could have only been choe's for sure. Really annoying, the American postal service is badly designed for limey's to speak to them (cant even email them outside of the USA because the form does not allow a none usa address's and the customs failed to delver this morning like they said they would). I'm going to have to cruise the local post offices tomorrow morning.

[Pure Evil]

I went to his last show in San Jose , Cali, and he was selling prints for $50 and original paintings for $500... my friend borrowed $1000 from me so he could buy 2 of them ... David Choe rocks

[Aza]

Hopefully I get the customs demand soon then!

image wise city girl 76 is no match for city girl 150. However, some people do buy solely on edition size.

I think in this case it may prove to be a school boy error. If you've got twice as many apples as oranges but 9 out of 10 people prefer apples.... then you've got a very confusing analogy thats not going to really help anyone this late on a school night. ;D

I've thought about the whole customs thing and the 'failed' delivery. I think they are the same thing. Therefore hound dogz hasn't been sent out yet to the UK and no one needs to worry. I can confirm that tomorrow morning.

I like the city girl 150 but I don't think it is the edition size that turns people off. If you check out the Jonathan Levine Gallery you can see pics of the original and trust me the print is not anywhere close to replicating it...its hard for a flat print to capture the mixed media of the original.

The city girl 76 is not exactly a new piece as you can see an earlier incarnation he did when he was painting the FACEBOOK OFFICE. They are both fresh but I assure you that the amount paid for this city girl150 is way above market and its not even close. Two months ago that price could have scored almost two (small) original mixed media paintings from his last show...

Because of the hand embelishments I think the city girl 76 has a little more lasting market power...However, I buy art because I like it. That is why I am stuck with all this fools gold

I didnt get to see the original but I do have the 150 giclee and its waaaay up there in quality. Image wise and print execution wise. And from a relative standpoint (compared to many other "street" prints commanding big bucks these days) this print is simply upper echelon. Imho this print (unless the whole scene starts crashing) will be considerably more than the $1500usd it went for. Once again, RELATIVELY speaking (I bought one of the micallef APs recently) this is a steal. This aint no sillhouette with some icons. Tremendous talent.

*note - I keep referring to the term "relatively" because I believe prices for prints are ridiculous and in big time bubble territory.

Agree. Andrew from Outer Edge did an incredible job with this print. The execution, from paper to color-matching to clarity/detail, is top quality. 'City Girl' was a stunning, jaw-dropping original. 'City Girl'(150) does it justice.

Ok the 'failed delivery' from the American Postal Service (UPS) and the one that got held up at customs were both the city girl so no need to worry about Houd Dogz, no one on the forum has claimed to have recieved their HD yet in the UK.

Out of interest it seems that the UPS send the tube to the UK but the royal mail deliver it and in this case use different reference codes, bit confusing.

Glad she's safe though, was getting worried there for a bit.

Wondering what you could get trades wise for a City Girl?

Anyone want to swap me a Micallef
