Paul Insect • Crystal Habits, by mpow on Jan 23, 2019 6:06:17 GMT 1, That’s pretty decent. Im thinking he prefers that Paul Insect explore that direction. I prefer the current trajectory.
I’ll back any direction Paul takes. He’s one of the most talented artist of our generation, and the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.

Sometimes you guys take yourself a little too serious.most agree PI is an institution in the scene. Salt or sweet whatever you have to offer the dude crushes it and sparks the imagination upon viewing his art.

Looking at it again. Both styles look great.

Paul Insect • Crystal Habits, by meloveart66 on Jan 23, 2019 10:06:53 GMT 1, The Gold version looks ok, but think is overpriced! The Blue looks pretty horrendous for me (why on earth use this combination of colors?) and definitely not worth the money they ask for! What kind of interior style you must have to fit these colors (blue version) in? Probably because it's an Paul Insect people dig it and pay their ticket following the hype train.

Well because they compliment one another, I think Paul has probably spent more time mixing paints than you have..
"definitely not worth the money they ask for"
Any Invader and Kaws Toys fans out there bleating about the cost of these prints and or the lack of artistic progression and vision?
I'm fortunate enough to have the previous image from Avant and let me tell you, it's "definitely" worth the price i paid for it because the quality of paint/image/artist/print is up there with the very best I have on my wall.
Each to their own but some of the arguments on here are ludicrous. I would have preferred to pay $500 but seeing as prices for prints have rocketed I don't feel the current price tag is entirely unreasonable when you factor in 16 colours + varnish finishes and gold dust plus using arguably the best printers in the UK (Coriander studios) to deliver this image to those of us who actually bother to frame up and enjoy his work on our walls.

But why suddenly the price got higher? It seems prices go up and up and people keep on digging it and buying.
And if the colours complement does n't mean it looks nice. And I know this is all my personal opinion

I don’t think the price hot “higher”; it’s the same price as your Ultimate Journey

And ? We can't like a person's vision?
Your statement can be true of literally any artist in history. Every artist has contemporaries doing work as well, or better than they are. However, the individuals spin and eye makes some of us enjoy and collect.
What an empty, spiteful for no reason common ass comment

And wheres my "hype" lol...
I turned down most all pins I was offered from originals to the NYC prints. I just love avante quality compared to his other stuff. And they're smart to alternate colors in regards to edition. Now one can have one blue and one gold and be on the low end of pricing
These 2 avante releases make everything else he's released print wise look amateur in quality, sizing, etc

Avant Arte has taken the next step with print production, as someone already pointed out. The quality of these prints is incredible, (not just the added dust and glitter) and definitely warrants the higher price (IMO).

These are nice and he's seems to be sticking to this formula. I'm sure these are printed to a great standard and look great, but was hoping for something a bit different.
