Yeah but they are 10 times the edition size and only slightly less in cost than the bmg prints. And personally, they are not in the same league as the the bmg pieces. Although, I do actually like Let's All Go To Madagascar...

I agree that the BMG prints look another level but for those desperate to get hold of Ian's work they don't look a bad buy. Hotel Porn and Girl with Cat have an elegant quality IMO. Did I say porn and elegant in the same sentence?

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by michaelscott on Aug 27, 2007 21:16:49 GMT 1, By luck's chance, on my second visit to the show during midweek, Ian was there. We had a good talk. He is very focused,very grounded, and honest He also made a comment about prints, and this is not a direct quote, but he wanted small editions, of superior quality, for those that couldn't get a painting, but want his work.
You got to respect an artist, that wants quality, not quantity.
Last comment on this thread for me: Graham Nash (also of the Hollies) was working on the technology, in 1988. In early 89, mutual friends had gotten me involved, to run the gallery and do live bands for them (them being, what became Nash Editions), in Santa Monica.

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by justinkase on Aug 28, 2007 5:10:46 GMT 1, Was just perusing the Blk/Mrkt ONE Book and didn't realize that they've worked with a lot of my favorite artists ranging from: Parla, Kinsey, Choe, Evan Hecox, Brendan Monroe and a list of others. If you don't have this book, I highly suggest it. It's pretty impressive.
Blk/Mrkt TWO comes out soon with Ian Francis making a special appearance. Should be a good one as well.

Soon Ian Francis prints will be Micallef prices get them now.

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by ABC on Sept 1, 2007 22:10:04 GMT 1, To be honest when Banksy bought out his first few screen prints, I loved them for the image and not what medium they were produced in. I still to this day buy prints for the image and not the process. To be honest I couldn't care less what method is used, although quality paper is important for me. You tell me that you wouldn't want a few giclee Neates on the wall . What I do agree with though is that Giclees are cheaper and far quicker to produce and if the old techniques are not kept alive we may see a lot more giclees on our wall.

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by oneeye on Sept 1, 2007 22:21:53 GMT 1, I completely agree ABC. For me it's all about the image as well.
The giclee for Deathstar is as close to the orginal painting as it gets. The textures of the canvas are visible in the print...as well as the other hand drawn details. It's fabulous. Will try and post some pics soon.

Actually, if you are talking about top-end prints that's not quite true. The kind of prints that we produced with Ian Francis are not cheaper or quicker... we produce both screenprints and giclees, and these giclees are a pain in the *ss and expensive to produce. Screenprints are actually easier and definitely cheaper to produce (especially in bulk) if you know what you're doing. And giclees are not being created to replace screenprints - but we've had this discussion already...

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by crazyhorse on Sept 2, 2007 16:33:27 GMT 1, The canvas texture is also very visible in the first four Francis (Hotel/Porn etc.) and the detail is fabulous! I agree that despite the high edition size the quality exceeds most other prints currently around and that it will not be too long before they will hit the secondary market. I love my copy of Hotel Porn but am thinking of buying a matching edition numbered set of all four whilst they are all affordable!

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by crazyhorse on Sept 4, 2007 8:52:07 GMT 1, I got mine from Lieberman Gallery www.liebermangallery.com/index.php?id_page=9&id_artist=84 who still have some available.
Whilst edition size and image/sheet size might be factors in the preceived value of a print, there are soooo many examples where this is not the case. For example Francis' print "Amy Allen..." sold by Red Propeller personally didn't float my boat (small edition size and big paper) - it mainly comes down to the actual image and personal taste.

Actually it's a heads up to those who still want them. To buy is a personal choice. They will be gone soon especially when IF does a solo UK show which will no doubt follow the US show.
As for the quality and image size they are as good as the Red Propeller prints in my opinion.
