Not that it matters but I think the black part is screen printed on top of white paint. Yes, that is correct. Everything is hand-painted before the final black screen was laid down. |

FS: FAILE "Bret the Hitman" Print - 2007 - Edition of 10, by Happy Shopper on Mar 17, 2015 17:52:07 GMT 1, Strange thing about Faile, and Bast for that matter, that people fall over themselves for a new release, but classic old ones don't sell for the same price!
(although some of these old ones aren't in reality as small an edition as they appear, as they did them in several runs... plus they're smaller in size than the newer prints)

They're beautifully turned out with thick acrylics under painted onto lenox 100 paper and then screened. I bought one directly from them for $60 I think it was.

You must be thinking of another artist - the Faile Hitman never sold for $60 direct. It was more like $800 in 2007.

I've dug up some personal notes and I did purchase a Bret The Hitman, which I loved. But it wasn't quite as cheap to buy from Faile as I initially remembered. It was in fact $200 which I paid to Faile directly, and then some combined postage on top. They were just becoming popular at that time. Sorry for the error, I just wanted to point out the striking difference between then and the much deserved success they have now and in no way wish to undermine the current value of their work.

Think only 50 pieces were made with 5 runs. If I had the coins left, I would put it on my wall.
