Heard from shootagain.

Too much people, they had to queue before the exhib for about 1 hour before entering & everything was sold out in 10 min. He is sending me some pics as we speak! Some really cool pieces...

[Shoot Again]

Such a disappointment eventhough there were so many great pieces. 300 people getting in at the same time (after waiting for 45 min outside) in quite a small gallery, impossible to move around once in, by the time I got the price list (3min) from the only guy in charge inside I was told every DRAN piece was sold out already. Couldn't bother searching again for the guy in charge to verify that info so just tried to enjoyed the artworks there shouldering my way from one picture to the other ;-) Therefore pictures I've taken are all crap but sure some professial guys will post nice ones at some stage. Had a chat with the 2 guys that were first in the queue and even them only could buy one DRAN piece (sic !) so there must have been some pre-sales in place (evenhough I had been told otherwise so !). Met a very nice chap from Edition Populaire though, need to find a way to get back in touch with him ;-) All in all, failed to buy anything but I'm now enjoying myself in sunny Toulouse, great city with fantastic food, with 2 big rugby games to watch ... not too bad

What about the rest of the work ?, I mean thats far from a 1 man crew. Id be interested to see how the rest went down

[Shoot Again]

Some other great pieces for sure, some even better collaborations actually, no idea how the sales went as the only man in charge was totally snowed and I couldn't bother searching for him again to try to buy anything... It was WW3 in there ! ;-)

Thanks for posting.
Great pieces. I personally love the cleaner scrubbing the canvas.

Were you out there for the show? Did you buy anything?

I was told the same.They were not going to release a pdf before the opening and that you had to go to the show to buy.

To be fair, on second thoughts, I now do believe there has not been any pre-sales (contrary to what I said earlier in this Thread). It turns out that the 2 guys first in the queue actually bought more pieces than they actually told me... good for them... just don't get why they had to lie in my face ;-)

Thanks for posting the pics. Looks like some great pieces. Really love the cleaner. Looks like his popularity isn't just created by POW hype as some would like to believe.

I have to admit you made much pictures than I did... one of the reason (apart from taking it with my Blackberry) might be that the gallery was empty when you took yours while I had to fight even to get in ;-) What a mess !

[Shoot Again]

I meant... "much nicer" ;-)

[butterfly]

Thanks for the comments. I was nowhere near the entrance for the opening, but went again the next day to take additional pics of the artworks

Dran might be sold out but others are good too.
The collab train et "Da Mental Vaporz" are really great.
