i have an unsigned morons which id b willing to swap for Dface Death and Glory and something else, mabee a hate ?

anyone interested ?

[graeme501]

also - is this a fair trade ?

or am i asking too much ? the last D&G sold for 440

TBH don't think this would be a fair trade. But you never know, there could be someone out there with a burning desire to own a 'Morons' who has the 2 prints of which you speak - ultimately it comes down to desirability. Death and Glory prints are still fairly sought after - by some forum members at least - and I wouldn't be surprised if their value starts to creep up a bit on the bay. Hate prints are also becoming rarer to come by too. You may be able to get something like Cli-che and Dolk's Che if you were lucky. Anyways, best of luck with your quest.

[graeme501]

yeah the hate was just a suggestion, anything else could be included

thanks for advice

[bonesy]

Ya gotta remember the Hate's were editions of 25 and most have probably worked their way into permanent collections (Id assume)

[graeme501]

yeah, im lucky enough to have one, but wud love to have 2 side by side, inspired by the pics of the wall of hates in the get ur banksys out post

Depends on your views, graeme501. If it has to be another 'Hate' you could be in for a long trawl / part with some readies. If not, then you could always go for Robert Indiana's litho, unless you think it's a bit too jailhouse??

[pezlow]

It is mad isn't it that the Indiana prints are now becoming easier to locate than Dface's version.

Yep. That's was popularity, notoriety and good PR in the 'newart' world do for you these days. I'm keen to see what happens to Eelus' popularity status over the next 12 months. Then I'll probably kick myself thinking I could've picked up a couple of his prints at cost on evil bay (no I'm not Eelus!)

Personally, I think interest in Eelus has wained, mainly because he's produced way too many colour ways (paricularly of Chewbarber and Shat-at) instead of concentrating on new images.

Agree to an extent, but what's the betting that the next set of prints that he releases sell out in minutes....
No doubt they'll appear on e-bay after a day or so at cost

Graeme - if you're after another Hate - you may have noticed that there's a yellow one on the bay at the moment - it's at around £100 at the moment and finishing later today. I don't know the seller, but may be worth keeping an eye on.

I think getting a Robert Indiana LOVE print as a partner for your existing HATE is a good suggestion. It's an iconic piece of graphic design, which I'm sure will be remembered long after the D Faces are forgotten. Though, while you can certainly pick up a LOVE print pretty easily, a signed version is going to set you back a fair bit more than a HATE.

I have a dFace Cli-che id be interested in swapping with. Obviously we'd need to work out, if this would be a fair swap for one another
