IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by scoote on Sept 4, 2007 23:21:03 GMT 1, Just a quick heads up, I have today returned a print to Red Propeller due to me receiving two prints by mistake and then going on holiday blah blah blah. Anyway it's 'Amy Allen signs an Autograph' this is from the lower edition of 25. So if anyone wants to put a call in tomorrow they might pick it up, unless it has been reserved for someone, but you never know.

I guess this must reflect that availability is reducing

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by peggysue on Sept 5, 2007 16:23:41 GMT 1, Feels like Groundhogs Day. The exact same thing happened with the Micallef prints at Eyestorm. People were hemming and hawing about them, then they started to sell out and everyone scrambles trying to get their hands on anything thing they can. The process is so predictable it's almost boring.
Take a chance. Step up and make a choice. Don't wait for the hype to make your decision.
But always make sure you're buying an image that you like.

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by fullproof on Sept 5, 2007 18:53:00 GMT 1, My prints from the 250 edition arrived today. ;D Packed flat and have nice thick mounts with them. Stunning prints IMO. Great service from CollectorsPrints too. Just need to find some matching frames now.

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by absyrd on Sept 5, 2007 22:33:05 GMT 1, My print from BMG just arrived.
It is packed flat between what seems like 6 pieces of heavy cardboard.
Gotta love that.

Mine too! Brilliantly packed and simply a beautiful print. People needn't worry about the quality of the giclee.
Thanks BMG

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by absyrd on Sept 6, 2007 8:28:25 GMT 1, I live in the States, so no.
I can't emphasize enough how well-packaged that damn print was. 2 layers of tissue paper, then taped to a piece of presentation board, then taped in between 4 layers of good cardboard. Hell... it was so thick I thought somehow they mixed it up and sent me a canvas.
And the print is amazing. Any of you giclee doubters who picked one up will be happy with the richness of this one.

IAN FRANCIS Prints! GET THEM NOwwwww, by crazyhorse on Sept 6, 2007 9:28:13 GMT 1, Just received my prints from Lieberman Gallery. Their packaging is excellent also - the prints were secured within two pieces of thin hardboard - definitely courrier damage proof and takes up less room when storing! "Let's all go to to Madagascar" is gorgeous!

The quality of the BLK MRKT packing of these pieces has already been commended and having seen it it begs the question, why roll prints up in tubes?

My thoughts exactly! It takes a little more time and effort yes, but as a customer, heck, I'd be happy to pay a little more and have them packed like this so I can receive my print flat, as it always has been.
Thanks ever so much again to Jana and all at BLK/MRKT. Best all round service I've had from a gallery.

I have been tracking mine and it says they attempted to deliver it today, but I have had nothing!

CR - I got a standard white A5 letter with the Royal Mail logo at the top. It came in the normal post and said they were holding my print at my local depot and that I'd either have to pay online or by phone (and then they'd re-deliver) or I could go and collect and pay there.
Tis frustrating. Odd that yours says it was attempted but you didn't get a card. Suggests you've slipped through the VAT net, but you'd not wanna do that at the loss of a print!

How ironic, I did the same just yesterday. Its a really nice image I think... really like the framing of the character into the view. Intreagued as to how they'll be. Hope they ship soon!

Bomhole! Thanks for letting us know rydal. Collectorsprints told me they recieve them in batches... it maybe that their of Hotel Porn batch (as in the prints not actual pornography watched/recorded/collected from hotels) has run out and others not. Who knows... will try and post pics once mine arrives though for any other interested folk. Not sure whether these prints will be around too much longer as interest increases.
