Surprised nobody's mentioned this yet (people seemed to love the VNA cover). Released tomorrow at the Outsiders...

www.theoutsiders.net/item/6101,when-we-were-kings

Sounds huge. Guess it'll be quite pricey.

[G-Man]

Prefer his more abstract work, the VNA cover was better than this IMO... Glad to have one completing my VNA collection

[elwheel]

Makes me wish I didn't have such a hang up about giclee as Conor is ridiculously talented. Class painting.

[seqret]

Saw that yesterday. Really like it. I guess price of this one don't like me

[connecta1]

...thinking this will be super-spendy

[anarquee]

[seqret]

At least

I agree, but better than your average giclee. Lots of gold leaf.
Small edition size too.
My guess is that this will look amazing in the flesh, but will be surprisingly expensive.

The quality will no doubt be reflected in the price but surely £1200 is way too expensive?

Please tell me this is so?

Edit - just seen the dimensions. The only walls in my house this large are the external ones....

+1

Don't like giclee prints... I like the word which in the end is just a inkjet print.

It's massive! Will cost a lot to frame!

[.dappy]

Saw the original at Rathbone Place. Lovely. You could buy this, melt it down and sell the gold. ;D Hate to think of the cost with so much gold on it.

Not sure the orig stock image of the whole print does this justice

[Brushstrokes 75]

WOW that looks great!! Thanks dap!

Hadn't seen this come up yet. I guess the email will come out tomorrow morning then. Lovely work, this is a giclee that I think would actually be worth considering (other factors considered)

[ABC]

The Gold leaf would look amazing.

[ilmambo]

a massive ornate gold frame and this print will be a killer on the wall. wish I could afford it.

[etched]

wow !! will look great in the drawing room .. has silkscreen gloss so i assume thats over the inkjet

[ricobenfico]

^ Thanks for that plurker, I already follow them but my problem is not checking it often enough/using it as well as it can be. I'm as good as looking through the last 100 or so tweets and that's it.

Homework: Must do better!

[Winter]

Excuse my shoddy photoshop skills but I think this would look good in an old busted gilt frame

[speebe]

You'll struggle to find a frame big enough... It's a whopper.

Edition 30
Dimensions 94.5cm x 138cm

[Winter]

£950

[seqret]

Is that gold leaf fragile?

[.dappy]

only if you try to lick it off .....

(depends on the glue used and how well applied. Conner is a fine artist and I would expect him to know how to stick it on properly with the right amount of glue etc etc.)

[sal]

I hope a smaller size / gold leaf / any edition size release is somewhere down the road.. this one is a real beauty, but Im almost certain it would never make it to the wall... it wouldn't be the first time my opinion changes once Add To Cart button shows up

lol I mean when rolled.

I hope for a smaller size too. Good luck to all who is after this

[.dappy]

personally if I was buying this print .. being so large and lovely, I would make the extra effort pick it up and flat pack it home. Cannot see this being a good one to roll and Laz/Outsiders are not known for using extra large round tubes, although I have never had a problem from them ... the postage/courier charges would prob be the cost of a tank of petrol and you could spend the day in London

[samuraiwriter]

Good point on the rolling, especially with the gold leaf. Tough to imagine this in a tube. That said, I'll be going for it tomorrow. Chloe last week, Conor this week, happiness.

[brendan1985]

This one will come down to price for me. Love the image I too also have a no giclee rule, but this may be broken on this. I recently received a bast of similar dimensions rolled from laz on 400gsm paper with the majority of it being hand finished and it arrived in Australia in perfect condition, they used one of those nice wide tubes, so I wouldn't be to worried about having this one sent out.

[samuraiwriter]

Will the rolling have much of an effect on the gold leaf?

I wouldn't think so. Gold leaf is incredibly thin. So much so that it's edible on chocolates and the like. I would assume as long as the adhesive is good there would be no problems

[craigf]

Just got the mail, £950, so not cheap, but not quite four figures either. It does look a quality piece and a small limited edition by a quality artist
