New phlegm print coming soon, by sohohoho on Apr 22, 2013 1:42:41 GMT 1, Phlegm... Most dissapointet artist in 2013 for me. Really had high hopes for him. How can you say that? He's done more than most in the street, he's completed murals for Canal Mills and Millennium Gallery, he's self-produced a limited edition print all while self-producing a book for the masses.

New phlegm print coming soon, by alittle on Apr 22, 2013 3:12:43 GMT 1, Interesting comment. Guy is working his ass off to get his book done, still paints murals, releases a print that wasn't even on his schedule for the year, and all of a sudden he is the "most dissapointet artist in 2013"?

I think it would be good if you could elaborate on this statement? After his first release back in february 2012(i think), i was hopeing for something more then just a blog. Did not really understand why he would release the book print "just to get some cash for his project".
Maybe its just me who had other expectations. By all means, think he was on my top 3 list last year, and i still love what he makes. Hope the book isnt too limited, so it will be somehow avalable

New phlegm print coming soon, by Wenters on Apr 23, 2013 7:35:48 GMT 1, Still not sure why that makes him the biggest disappointment of 2013 (we are still in April!) as Phlegm has been crystal clear about his plans since the middle of last year....to paint walls & get the book sorted. He's thrown in an unannounced print been honest about the fact it's to help fund the book!?
He's not remotely interested in making pots of cash, trying to buy an original from him is next to impossible unless you have a long standing relationship with him. His sole motivation seems to be about painting walls all over the world - his blog documents this so again how can he disappoint anyone?
The book sounds like it's a labor of love and will be full of drawings - maybe this will help change your mind?!

New phlegm print coming soon, by sfinks on Apr 23, 2013 10:14:55 GMT 1, My mind on phlegm is very set Maybe i was too harsh when i called it the biggest dissapointment. I take that back. I was just expecting other directions or priority from him. But as you say, he does his thing and no one does his scene better(closest must be Roa). For such a huge talent i would love to see bigger plans or ideas then a blog. The dissapointment was not ment as in i dont like his work or think he does poorer work now. Its what i dremt he would or could do, but as you stated; he been crystal clear about his plans since the middle of last year. I hoped he would evolve the plans

New phlegm print coming soon, by alittle on Apr 23, 2013 10:57:31 GMT 1, There will be plenty of the book available (thousands of copies).
He has been working on the book a long time, and has made it clear that it was his priority. Once the book is released, perhaps we'll see a change in gears. The prints he has scheduled for 2013 are very exciting, and I can't wait to see them fleshed out and ready to go.
No matter what, you have to respect the guy in how he operates. Still does everything himself, and you can tell he is not about the money.

New phlegm print coming soon, by sierrahotel on Apr 23, 2013 11:55:40 GMT 1, Agreed - it's refreshing to see someone who isn't after money at all. Pricing on prints as well as lack of interest in commissions shows he really is in it for the love of it. He's more interested in everyone seeing his ideas in public, than us having them up on our walls in our private homes.

There will be more than one edition of the book apparently. Phlegm himself told me so I assume that's right
So might put some of the flippers off buying them up as soon as the book is released and charging well over the odds to anyone that misses the 1st edition on launch day ( half of us at a guess ! )
We'll be able to get a copy at the proper price when the next edition is released
Unless of course someone's desperate enough to pay the flippers 'premium' for the 1st edition which I assume will be significant based on how long we've all been waiting for Phlegm to finish the book.......

I'm not sure there'll be thousands of them ?
They're screenprinted covers and a bit fancy I assume, so no wonder he's taken so bloody long to get them ready, so I reckon even 100's might be optimistic for the 1st edition
Anyway, he's just posted fotos on his blog of some bones he's splashed on a wall in Sheffield......lovely....... & sounds like the book's one step closer to launch
But I'm still not holding my breath not yet.

New phlegm print coming soon, by alittle on Apr 23, 2013 19:17:12 GMT 1, There are going to be no flippers involved with the book release. From the man himself, in March "I think i want to do a nice big edition. I think 5000. I want these to retain a normal price for fans rather than shooting straight out my shop and onto ebay."
As of that date, he'd already done 1,000 of the covers.
