I donโt think anyone expects that they shouldnโt have a take, but the period of time that this relates to is what makes people think the jump is too much too soon.
Maybe if more of us were owners of his work we would be supporting this extortionate capitalism though! ๐

Jago smalls from Unit London, by bpm on Dec 6, 2017 15:46:03 GMT 1, This seems to have become a case of unrealistic expectations on pricing. Sure, some of the blame for this can come from the artist himself. When you self release one-offs at pricing that is below your standard fees there becomes some undue expectation that this pricing should continue. I do think The Unit has a pretty hefty margin on a lot of the art they post and this instance isn't any different. The gallery isn't in the business of releasing bargains and hence the price. The ones I've seen are certainly nice but I would've expected them to be oils.

Jago smalls from Unit London, by Viking Surfer on Dec 7, 2017 0:19:12 GMT 1, So did they all sell out aside from the one?
The rest are all 'email to purchase'. So no clarification on whether or not it's sold.

So no clarification on whether or not it's sold. I emailed them earlier with this same question and they said that all others had been sold. Seems that the one you can purchase direct from the site is the only one available.
