New Ernest Z print incoming..., by microfluo on Nov 27, 2014 18:44:20 GMT 1, I've follow EZ's since 2 years and was very happy to grab the Style war edition as it was his first print. I was quite disappointed with the "Enjoy graffiti" and "Different strokes" releases and didn't buy it. Strangely to my opinion those have sold out in no time but were bought by flippers and loads of it have ended on the bay...Unfortenately for the flippers those 2 previous prints were not good horses to bet on...and there are still waiting to flip the print in vain !! So for this release, they didn't give interested for this because they know it will be hard to make any money on this. Ernest knew this well when he has set the price of this new print!
But IMO this is a wonderfull print and seems so wonderfully done! Also Ernest is so skilled i'm sure he has a bright futur ahead. Great every fans of his work are able to buy this print because it will become a real classic of EZ's work in a few years. Time will tell....i will be happy to be quoted in a few years ! Well done Ernest !!!

Give it time and I'm sure they will all go.I just don't think he has the fan Base yet, the image is fine but I think you would have to be a big fan of his to go for one. I'm happy every member on here who wanted one actually got one as it's been said,very rare at the moment. Shame it won't happen for the phlegm print release in december Totally agree with you there dazarino..
Ernest Zach is a Genius.. This is a super looking print and it's really good to have time to buy without ones hands shaking in blind panic!!

New Ernest Z print incoming..., by Dibbs 45 on Nov 27, 2014 20:13:00 GMT 1, It seems to be a case with a lot artists in the last year or so that they price a print at a flipper threshold (Or even above it) I'm sure they will have a ago though. Of course fans have to have deeper pockets to get what they want, but like its been explained here the quality process that the print has been through is better. I was Talking to a a forum member today who suggested this image to EZ. Nice to know that he is listening to fans. He already has a massive following since the lego pieces and Malaysian shows and he will be around for awhile. This is a good image and a good print. Good luck to anyone who forked out for one.

Well done Ernest !!! My take is as follows... Style wars was a good print, and the hand finishing in crayon made it really dope. Otherwise it would have been just a giclee, but the crayon brought it to life and really enhanced the style of the artist. Different Strokes was a cool image but a giclee which just made it feel less legitimate and thus just a cool image. Enjoy graffiti was a garbage print. The stencil was brilliant on the street, and again, through the hand sprayed version, which i own, the artist really conveyed his style and message. This print looks to be super high quality. I love the image, and i feel Zach maintained his artistic integrity by producing it in a manner which is commensurate with his artistic integrity and ability. Also, i have aeeling this kid is built to last... just my thougts... s

I will not be getting one, so all you Zach fans, go get it! Still think he has some growth to do before I start investing $600+ But I know he's going to be in the front of the pack of new muralists/graffiti artists.

New Ernest Z print incoming..., by heathunter881 on Nov 28, 2014 9:39:33 GMT 1, love the overall image but i'm not fond of them printing just one boy instead of all four for the price they're charging. so if they print the remaining images with a price of $600 each the entire set will cost a whopping $2400?! call me crazy but that's ridiculously expensive for someone that's not a household name.

To be fair even banksy isn't a household name bud.but I get your point.
My 17 year old niece and 12 year old nephew just look at me with blank expressions when I talk about banksy. Now Taylor swift and mine craft? Whole different matter

Low edition size = Higher costs.. High edition size = Lower costs.. Right??
Different strokes print ed100 x £195 = £19,500
New style Mondrian print ed60 x £340 = £20,400
Pretty comparable Right? Not actually that expensive... Right?? I rest my case your honor.

New Ernest Z print incoming..., by Deleted on Nov 28, 2014 15:06:04 GMT 1, Does anyone really think the artist or printers make a killing off any of these releases? I don't think so
Screen printing takes a lot of time and money to produce. The people doing the pulling have to be paid. Screens, ink, equipment, paper, tubes, film etc have to be purchased. A space has to be rented. It has to be promoted. I'm assuming there are similar costs involved with antique lithography. After paying for all the materials, and paying the employees who are working for you, I don't see ANY of these releases being as lucrative as some people think
I don't think Earnest is going to be driving around in a Ferrari with the money made from selling prints. They're really just a token of appreciation to fans who can't afford his OG's, which are what pay the bills. Plus it's providing a living for the people doing the printing

A lot of people put work into one of these releases, and they all have to be compensated for their time. No one works for free

I'm not trying to hype up the release, but if we live in a world where Style Wars is really exchanging hands north of £340, the fact that this didn't sell out in 3 seconds baffles me.

Indeed, the above maths make no sense as you do not know the production costs. I would imagine different strokes was very cheap to make (couple of quid each)
