Swoon untitled on Mylar, by Neate Michael on May 3, 2012 11:46:22 GMT 1, Hi, I have a Swoon for sale. The new girlfriend is not a fan of it (although Helena is on the wall) so I would like to swap it or sell it.
It is signed and has a COA from PaperMonster.
Feel free to make me an offer, if you want to pay cash, I'll put it towards a Murakami print.
If you want to offer me something of yours that you are bored of, or will never make the walls, then go ahead.
If any of you need a ref, I am sure there will be several forum members prepared to vouch for me (inc. the happy chappy that got a Banksy poster the other day).

Swoon untitled on Mylar, by hnkpnk on May 3, 2012 14:08:07 GMT 1, I've never quite understood what "mylar" is. Can you explain? Is it transparent plastic, a canvas substitute or something else?

Swoon untitled on Mylar, by Neate Michael on May 3, 2012 15:16:18 GMT 1, It is an opaque thin plastic.
The instructions are to have it on wood to achieve the best results.
It is the bomb.

Swoon untitled on Mylar, by hnkpnk on May 3, 2012 20:56:02 GMT 1, Thanks! Does that mean that the the wood will be visible through it? So it's not 100% opaque?

Swoon untitled on Mylar, by georgec7 on May 3, 2012 21:59:09 GMT 1, I bought one off the forum about 6 months ago. There are framing options but you have to be careful - however - its a great print to own. First off - when you pen the tube, it literally springs flat - so no need to worry about paper having a memory as Mylar obviously doesn't .
I suggested to the framer two pieces of glass to sandwich it between but they said you will always get moisture in there, so we settled on a red background acid free art card with a cream surround - will post a pic . In my opinion definitely a great signed Swoon to own !

Swoon untitled on Mylar, by Neate Michael on May 4, 2012 14:50:40 GMT 1, Yes, you can see the backing through the print. That is why it is printed on mylar.
The backing adds to the print (in the artists opinion). The image above shows it on a brown background. The print is just white and black, so if it was a red background, that brown would be red.

Swoon untitled on Mylar, by dasium on May 4, 2012 16:37:47 GMT 1, interesting comment re the framing between two sheets of glass and the issue of moisture, I have a large Swoon print (on paper) that needs framing and that had been mentioned to me as the best way to frame them... looks like its back to the drawing board. Its too large to float..... but would be a shame to hide the rawnessof the deckled edges of the piece...

Swoon untitled on Mylar, by rkitek on May 4, 2012 17:38:31 GMT 1, I have a large original Swoon on mylar that was framed between two sheets of plexi by a very reputable framer in Los Angeles several years ago and I've never had any issue with moisture. Here's a pic:

I love this frame job. The brick wall behind the plexi makes it appear as if the piece has been pulled straight off the street.
