Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by Studiocromie on Oct 14, 2008 23:41:54 GMT 1, hello there.
i just thought to give you all this heads up.
BLU has just updated his website www.blublu.org
there are all his latest pieces on walls around europe and, more important, the artist finally released his wall animation MUTO
the video is available for free and you can download it directly from the website.
the very important thing you need to know, is that you can also buy it for the price you want. like the latest radiohead record.
in my honest opinion, this is a chance to buy an art piece for the price you consider right, from an artist that has been doing it with no commercial purpose. that has not sold his ass to coca cola or nike or whatever so that he could keep his ideas, views and art 100% genuine and spontaneous.
this is the chance to prove that we can all do whatever we want without all that crap, we can just do it ourself trusting, helping and supporting each other.
this said. enjoy the video in high res.

Blu, you're a genius.

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by Studiocromie on Nov 18, 2008 1:34:17 GMT 1, i know, special editions kinda sucks but i could not resist in doing this print with some different background and thanks god (or whoever helped me with this since god usually does not give a sheet about us all) the artist was into it
here they are :
just 25 copies all different and with weird splatter/shades backgrounds.
i'll keep you posted about this release.

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by aspyhole on Nov 18, 2008 1:45:41 GMT 1, THAT IS SICKKKK.
I have been wanting to get Demos for ages - it has been the price that has been putting me off - but I guess this is going to be even more expensive!? Especially at the current exchange rates!
But it's awesomeness might clinch the deal!

i'd suggest you to be quick if you were thinking to pull the trigger on the regoular edition of demos since there are really few copies left 
brrrrrrrrr

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by becksaboo on Nov 18, 2008 2:09:51 GMT 1, I think that's the best print he's done! Normally i think his stuff has a better impact on the street and doesn't transfer well to prints but that piece clearly does.
Lovely!

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by spirit on Nov 18, 2008 11:49:15 GMT 1, I have a lot of respect for Studio Cromie, but it always annoys me a bit when more limited special editions, that were not announced at the time, are released after the original run. This is because it means that people who come late to the party, potentially get something better than those who purchased and gave their support to the original release.
By all means make short run special editions - but please make and sell these BEFORE the main run (or at the same time) - not AFTER it. That way, those who purchase first get the limited special versions, instead of those who purchase last.

Nice big prints, low editions are the way forward for him. POW had no understanding of this when they brought him on board. They just booned a load of shit images withiout any thought for the artist's future. World Wide Trap was the exception, but the edition was still to high.

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by Studiocromie on Nov 18, 2008 12:17:17 GMT 1, hello spirit, you know what? i totally agree with you.
seriously. special editions are really lame to me as well
the thing is that this is our first and only special edition and really, i could not resist with this one. i'm so much into this print that i really really did not want it to die with the yellow one.
about timing of the release, sometimes is just more complicated then we could expect to make things work, at the time we released the yellow one we did not have that much time to talk or think about this special copies. we just thought these would have been the artist proof but then i realized i had more then 10% of the edition size and thought it would have been better to release them as another edition rather then 25 artist proofs.
it's also because some time you just like to play with prints not thinking too much about who's gonna buy it, who bought it, who will like it or talk about it, this is my own "printer" point of view.
then again, i understand your point of view and apologize with you and others that bought the first version and like this one better.

I purchased a couple of Ethos prints last year and they came with a free special edition print. The quality of the releases and the customer service is so far beyond LAZ and POW it's ridiculous.

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by spirit on Nov 18, 2008 15:30:24 GMT 1, Hi Angelo - Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Like you, I'm really into this print too (one of the reasons why I don't really want to see more added to the edition now!).
From your reply it seems that these 25 were actually printed at the same time as the main run, just not released or mentioned then. Until you said that I presumed you had printed these more recently. Given they were already printed, I would have really liked to have seen them released at the same time as the main run - or at least a mention given to the fact that a special edition of 25 would be released at a later date, if a simultaneous release would have proved too complicated. That way I could make an informed decision about whether I wanted to purchase the main edition or wait for the special.
Having said that, I understand what you saying about playing with the print from a printers point of view and being so into it that you don't want to see it die.
Anyway, it's no big deal, just a thought for next time (if there is a next time). I appreciate the apology and I look forward to seeing what future releases Studio Cromie has in store for us.

Blu 🇮🇹 Bologna Street Art • Print Release • Art For Sale, by Existencil on Nov 18, 2008 16:06:41 GMT 1, I still get excited when I see Blu's work. I feel the same as I did when he released WWT on POW last year. I think he is the most gifted artist on this board by a country mile. His style is unique and his animations are pure genius. I would love to see him do some GIANT prints in tiny editions of say 3 or 5. I would love to have a 4ft by 6ft Blu print on my wall. That would really get my juices flowing.
