I reckon it'll hit 3k! These edition sizes are so rare and more importantly
are fantastic prints.

Very strange i thought it had previously been on with a BIN of ยฃ1500 and failed to sell, now flying over 2K. I think it could have something to do with the strategic placement of the word original, in the listing title

I'd agree with that categorisation otherwise say Hush Dirty bomb which is a much larger edition could be claimed as an original as they are all a little different, same for the recent Connor Harrington release from Laz

Even more amazing considering that there should be another couple of editions of this still to be released.
Hope they dont price them up according to this one

Faile butterfly girl WOW, by daz205 on Mar 25, 2008 12:24:51 GMT 1, seems odd to me as i also saw the one that didnt sell for 1.5k the other week - payday cant make that much difference can it?
how many editions of the red girl are left to be released?

And as nice as shimmering red is, I wouldn't spend anywhere close to that amount for one.
There are way too many other nice BFGs that are worth spending the extra loot on.

I'd rather spend more on an edition with a bit more colour too.

Faile butterfly girl WOW, by bobbymeachamjr on Mar 25, 2008 15:57:36 GMT 1, I've brought this up before. The distortion of "original" in this scene can go as far as leading to its demise.
ie. "Original" edition of 10. Can we just sit back and think about that?

Hmm. Ah well, buyers should really do their homework.

Faile butterfly girl WOW, by bobbymeachamjr on Mar 25, 2008 16:37:24 GMT 1, Whats done is done but artists in this scene should stop with this "Original - edition of 10" / "Original - in this colorway" / "Original but only on toilet paper" BS. They too are distorting the very defintion of original. When you're reproducing the same creative (image) - ITS NOT ORIGINAL...

Faile butterfly girl WOW, by ambrosiabaptism on Mar 25, 2008 16:47:35 GMT 1, Yep you know you guys are right they should say
This piece was created by hand by the artist themself. Each piece released is seen through the production process by the artist and each has unique compositional additions making them distinct and individual from every other piece produced.
I agree with your points boys - that this ebay listing is a sales pitch but hey when you get a Faile in your hands you'll realise that the rest pail into insignificance ;D 
best wishes
Smug Faile owner

Faile butterfly girl WOW, by 1800garrett on Mar 25, 2008 17:14:27 GMT 1, Original when talking about Faile's means 1 of 1. The only color way of that image. Hence original. I was was the last person to win one of the Butterfly Girl's in Shimmering red for 3600US but backed out of it, the only Faile that I have done so with....  But don't feel bad for people that are bidding on a item maked as an Original Faile because if someone is going ot shell out a couple of thousand they should do their homework otherwise life is going to be a bumpy ride.....

Faile butterfly girl WOW, by bobbymeachamjr on Mar 25, 2008 17:58:32 GMT 1, With respect to Faile, the design should be unique for it to be an original. Whether its the original collage or a unique image composition. Same design and medium (ie. same screen w/acrylic) - different colors being original = BS

no offense mate but I don't think you've really got what Faile's work is about.

Her bobby what are your thoughts on Hillary and Obama being on the same ticket, dilution or powerhouse?
