Phlegm "Civilisation" New Print Available February, by Shoeless on Mar 1, 2012 2:37:59 GMT 1, this is the most amazing way of dealing with overselling issue!... hats off to Phlegm.. I 100% agree with you. What ive learned about this artist the last few days blows me away. What a great guy he seems to be. Definitely going to follow his outdoor work this year.
Indeed. Im concerned on how this release will effect his decision for any future prints though. It was obviously a headache for him. I respect the fact that he's more interested in painting on the streets rather than churning out prints......but Im in the states and don't have the privilege of seeing the street work. Id consider myself lucky if I was able to see the outdoor stuff on occasion. Enjoy it!!

Phlegm "Civilisation" New Print Available February, by 11 on Mar 1, 2012 10:54:17 GMT 1, I'd be very surprised if Laz (& a few others) hasn't been beating his door down.......suspect someone like Phlegm has fought off the corporate galleries before but after this experience he probably needs some sort of management to support him

Why would this experience affect him? I dont think he has done anything wrong. He split the release to make it easier for people. He made that decision from past releases. Its not his fault the demand had increased. Why should he care about emails begging to prioritise them? Hes probably answered them when he could have just ignored them as they were out of order. Now bigcartel has oversold his work he now offers a free bonus. SOS always oversell but just refund. No apology. Think hes been spot on.

I wasn't criticising him - I, like a few others, have rated Phlegm very highly for quite some time and have the utmost admiration for him. His one and only passion is to paint and I believe he produces the comics, prints and stuff purely to fund his passion - I think if he could afford to he would produce even less and spend far more time doing what he loves.
To refund the excess orders and then give them a very small edition release is amazing and just proves how non-commercial he is. Others have been known to produce another variant for disgruntled customers but still charge them for the privilege.
This release has proven how popular he has become and I think that his popularity is only going to grow. In order for him to continue to dedicate himself to his passion I do think he will need some management - the challenge is now to find some management that protect his principles not their own wallets.
.....and from his blog update he sounds absolutely frazzled by the whole experience.... ;D

Phlegm "Civilisation" New Print Available February, by stanley on Mar 1, 2012 15:45:06 GMT 1, Finding management that will allow that will be impossible. They would no doubt insist on more print releases to coincide with his street work.
Edit: and i wasnt having a pop, i agree its going to be a very difficult decision for Phlegm. As is, i reckon.

Nice lady said that there are a few left!

Phlegm "Civilisation" New Print Available February, by larsson on Mar 2, 2012 19:03:22 GMT 1, Cheers for the heads up georgec7 - just picked up a copy after giving them a ring to hold one earlier. The A - Z books have now all gone. I missed out on the print earlier in the week - twice - clearly my f5ing is not fast enough - so it's nice to finally get hold of a copy of this.

He's a top bloke to deal with. A while ago I missed his stiltman print so I just emailed him on the off chance and he sorted me out an AP and some testers of his alphabet. Good lad, not enough like him on the scene these days.

Phlegm "Civilisation" New Print Available February, by wentos on Mar 3, 2012 9:23:04 GMT 1, ^ I think you should change your pic to Chaz
On a separate note, with all this love for Phlegm i feel it gives me another chance to show my original drawing that I picked up last year, it's A3 size and amazing close up. I managed to pick it up from a shop in Sheffield last year after about 6 months of waiting.

Re the A to Z book info I posted a couple of days ago. It was available at a few places - I came across it by accident in Shoreditch - if you go to Phlegm's blog and go back about six months, I've been told it lists the places that have it for sale - I'm alright Jack - but their might be some more about!
