No, she is very understanding about my pseudo-addiction and has never complains about the $$$ I spend so if I occasionally by something that she despises I keep it off the wall.

they will for sure be released again for three times the price...

Not necessarily looking at the demand. The Bezt maybe. I bought a very popular Bask when it rains print 2 years ago with probably lesser demand for it (at least I think the waiting line is half of sainer's). It never once appeared in their archive after the sell-out.

Sorry should have quoted disdig1 then, detective... Haha

When they release them again, there's usually only one of each print isn't there?

I managed to get the Bezt but Sainer was an instant sell out.

That Bezt is beautiful. I'm going to check the artist out.

Edit - didn't recognize Bezt as being part of team cru. Recognized Sainer. Learn something every day.

Edit 2 ** etam cru. Damned autocorrect.

the Bezt print almost seems like a sequel to Moonshine

it's an etam thing

OK well that makes sense, it's kind of his signature or moniker. Gotta love this forum. If you don't know something ask. Thanks for the education.

def the best etam, but that could be partly because they need to make more printsssss

these two are easily the top bezt and sainer prints, IMO.

The crown is really a SAMO (Basquiat) thing...

I love those crowns and hats and stuff around the heads in their works.

This little fella here has one as well

One might argue the archives are the best thing since biggie smalls.  It was a great opportunity in the first place, now it's an even better one (for someone else).  That sucks about your glitch mob.  Sh*t they haven't emailed me back about two different things.  But they know their audience, market, how to prioritize and especially how to present.  I enjoy the opportunities they create on both ends of the market.  Flipping your own sh*t is par for the course anyway.  They're a 'walk in the park' compared to other places.  Sh*t just for fun the first thing that comes to mind, I have two of the same print from the same print house, yet each are from two different edition sizes/runs.  The shadiest thing I've seen 1X do so far is during an archive sale it said 1 left and I bought it then when I checked something else later I saw the print said 1 again.  Maybe not 'greedy as f*ck' but shady for sure.  So clearly they have flexible morals, but I believe when closely examined most businesses do.  It's not so much a manipulation as it is a deception.  And for what, a hundred dollar print?  That's nothing compared to the ridiculousness that goes on in the rest of the art/world.  Maybe I'm just a jaded New Yorker but at the end of the day they are running a business...without that there would be no service to these artists, and the scene would grow and evolve less.  They have a big cake to bake (running your own business can be ridiculously hard), gotta at least get that frosting nah'mean?  I'll buy a print that I love even if they don't reply to my emails. I bet you'll still cop too...maybe not tho...maybe you are more diligent...less addicted...all the power to you nonetheless just riffing here.  And I really am interested in how these (and other) circumstances affect your consumption (or lack thereof).  What would it take to loose your business completely?  What might it take to get you back?  An affordable print by one of your favorite artists maybe?  Oh and for whatever it's worth (I think someone asked), the quality of the prints 1X produces, they're fine.  Nothing special.  They serve their purpose; pictures on walls.  Rant over.

Come on Noirrion get you Etam canvases out do you have more than two now?
