I'd imagine it depends if John is around as to what you get but sure they will help you out at HG, I just asked him to sign it and he sat and drew the George on the inside

John and George John Dolan at Howard Griffin Gallery , by Dungle on Jul 22, 2014 13:23:46 GMT 1, Did anyone else order a blind sketch?
If so what sort of condition did it turn up in?
Mine just arrived in a bent envelope, all corners dog eared (excuse the pun), with the envelope held together by masking tape and the sketch stuck to the masking inside the envelope.
I'm slightly confused as to whether it was meant to arrive in that sort of condition?

I'm slightly confused as to whether it was meant to arrive in that sort of condition? John may have done a bunch of them sitting on the street. So there could be little bits of damage (didn't notice any at the show mind you). But the envelope makes me pretty sure they wouldn't have sent it like that and it may have got mangled in the post office machines and bodged to PO acceptable levels! Give the gallery a call I'm sure they will resolve it for you..

I thought that they may have been done on the street as you say, so didn't want to cause a fuss, but clearly the packing is insufficient. Will drop them a mail. |

John and George John Dolan at Howard Griffin Gallery , by Dungle on Jul 22, 2014 14:34:53 GMT 1, Yup its a cracking image @wiz
@streetkart I have emailed the gallery, and got a response within 2 minutes apologising and sending a replacement, so I would suggest this was just an unfortunate occurrence, and hopefully they will be packed slightly better now. Can't beat the gallery for response time and resolving the issue.

John and George John Dolan at Howard Griffin Gallery , by eschiff on Jul 25, 2014 19:06:49 GMT 1, just went by today, really wish i had seen that talk yesterday. Had only known about John from seeing him outside Rainbow room, didn't realise he had a previous show. Picked up the book and have poured through it, about half-way in. It's an incredibly engrossing read, highly recommend.
Btw, he made 500 sketches for the show. That's a lot of work!

John and George John Dolan at Howard Griffin Gallery , by Deleted on Jul 25, 2014 19:25:03 GMT 1, Unfortunately I had the same extremely poor shipping. All edges got bent or krinked. Photo doesn't really show the damage. They didn't even use an envelope, no sturdy cardboard and packing was to edge of the paper.
As I picked out my images I am not going to return them and they were only 50 pounds. But I got charged 25 pounds for that shipping? Oh well live and learn...

John and George John Dolan at Howard Griffin Gallery , by Dungle on Jul 25, 2014 20:26:38 GMT 1, Well they sent me another one today, and said to keep the original one too. Great idea.
Then they sent the second one in exactly the same way as the first and it's bent up too!
Don't think they took my advice on how to send them out.
Anyhow will be giving it away on here with a donation to Johns charity from the winner. Not sure how it'll work yet.

Packaging will be better in these and will be for all future shipping. Sounds like a lot have been shipped and one of the assistants was packing them wrong! Gallery said to pass on their apologies and the new ones should be posted today for you.
