Correct me if i am wrong but would it be possible for any of the above images to be reproduced in any other format other than Giclee due to the ammount of detail and colour going on in these? Lets hope not, My favorite is the guy with the bird and the pink background. That being said i will endevour to get anything from this particular show. Absolutly outstanding work.

Trapped by language was a four colour screen print..(colour separation)


and Carival goes was screen printed too
(not my image).

Still an incredible achievement selling both the show and the edition out.
A few quid was spent last Thursday Conor, Eelus & Charming Baker all sold out.

That is not a four-color screen print, it's an inkjet. The four "colors" referred to are CYMK.

I thought most inkjets had six plus colours

[victorwilliams]

Lots of talk about framing this beauty. Any chance mrframeman can russell up a decent deal on this? The best print of the year deserves the best framer, right?

[connecta1]

...I've had a price from him already, will let him decide if it's an 'offer' scenario or not

[Ottomatik]

Would MFM offer the deal to us in the US?

Count the colors. It's an inkjet.

Do you know this as a fact?
I'm sure Dave wouldn't list it as a screenprint if it wasn't.

[klyde]

Seriously, is MFM the only framer in the world?

[mouser]

There was alot of discussion at the time this was released as to how it could be a screen print. It was confirmed as being a screenprint, but the screens were produced with some fancy computer set up that produces 4 single colour screens once overlaid produce a similar effect to the 4 colours on an inkjet with a pixelated type process.

Mouser, color me green with envy!
(I had to give you a respect point on that one!)

LOl, thanks Otto, someone has been disagreeing with me alot recently so the respect points get negated. No respect, but nice art I can live with
have one back for being a nice chap.

[Ottomatik]

Same here...
Since your above post, you went from a +7 to a -4.
(I just brought you up to a -3!)
(I'm at -12 as of this post, let's see where it gets me;)
The respect point is just another extension of who's the most popular in school.
Has NOTHING to do with art.

[connecta1]

...that's a beauty Mouser, how many of the hand finished ones were there? Don't think I've ever seen one come up for sale

[mouser]

From memory it was 25 Connecta, I have been offered another one once privately, but as you say, not seen others for sale.
The closest I'll get to an original now I guess.

[Rsyok]

Yep edition of 25, there's a nice old pic on Conor's blog of them all over his walls being worked on. Prescription art has one, great example.
Shame I cant pull the trigger at the mo.

[connecta1]

...thanks for the info, the addition of a bit of red really adds to the standard edition IMO. That one on PA looks very nice too, quite expensive.. Can't believe how little CH's prints often go for, I picked up 'Trapped By Language' and 'Worm in the Suburban Bud' for a fantastic price last year

[tricorn]

here's my hand finished one:

[connecta1]

...that's lovely too tricornkid, very different feel to the other one, almost landscape-like

[mouser]

Seriously nice tricornkid, the green adds a whole new feeling to it, lovely indeed.

[tricorn]

thanks both, i've always felt it was a little more muted than other examples of the hand finished prints i've seen before, but I do like how he's spent the time to put more detail into the left arm...it's definitley my favourite piece of art in our house

[victorwilliams]

This is being shipped this week!

Lovely hand finished print on this thread very jealous!

[seqret]

Can't wait to open the tube

[m00man]

At first I thought so but one and a half meter package..

[m00man]

be about £10 in packing materials and a £4.99 via hermes Flatness on a £1k purchase ftw

[seqret]

They charged me 55quid for shipping so I hope packing will be good

[brendan1985]

No chance these will be sent flat. They will come rolled for sure. And if for any reason there is any imperfections, that will be the job of the gallery to figure out how to resolve the issue. I think rolling is only a problem when you are talking about thick layered paint. I would imagine the screened gloss will be over the top of the golf leaf so this should hold everything down nice and neatly.
