Futura 🇺🇸 Leonard Hilton McGurr • New York Graffiti Artist, by duffer31 on Nov 22, 2020 10:45:31 GMT 1, Looking forward to getting the one I bought. Quite exciting not quite knowing what I've bought!
It’s what shown in the image above. A stencilled slip case for the book. The book itself is the standard edition.

We haven’t seen the back yet, so there’s still room for excitement (until everyone gets their orders cancelled).

Futura 🇺🇸 Leonard Hilton McGurr • New York Graffiti Artist, by Dahmer on Nov 22, 2020 11:49:38 GMT 1, It seems like the pending charge on my credit card has disappeared which doesn’t look good. I have reached out to the publisher a couple of times via email and again via Instagram and have received no response. Pretty shoddy work on their part from the look of it. I would at least expect an email apologising for over selling but to just flat out ignore is a bit shitty of them but also a little expected.

Have to say, it’s more than I expected from the publishers’ original description. I think they look quite smart but I’m not sure if I’d ever want something an artist had been forced to produce and didn’t appear happy with.

Futura 🇺🇸 Leonard Hilton McGurr • New York Graffiti Artist, by Skizz 82 on Nov 22, 2020 12:43:48 GMT 1, A stencil signature is not a signed book. Probably no one will complain because it is still a good opportunity to have something of Futura (which is a legend), even if it is clear that compared to what Rizzoli has indicated this is not the same. So if there were disputes between the parties, since the choice to work with Rizzoli was of the artist, I would have preferred it not to have been on buyers expense. Having said that if I will receive it I would not return it.

The books could still turn out cool if Futura draws some atoms on them and IMO it's still possible. But if these are the finished books I don't feel them and it's not the strongest moment in economy.

It doesn't change my respect but for the artist but in this case I think he could manage it better.

My impression is that everybody that did not ordered directly from Rizzoli will have a refund, and all bookstore will have to pay a lot on PayPal fees... a total mess!

I hear what you’re saying, but What if the handfinished tag was done by multiple people lol. I use to get my siblings to do my colouring homework for me.

I'm not complaining about what I might get, because as I said I would keep it despite everything. But I ordered a signed book with an hand drawn cover (which does not correspond to what will be delivered) and it makes me strange that an artist of this level, having chosen the publisher, prefers controversy rather than pleasing those who bought it (mainly him estimators) unaware of the problems between the parties. At the end we are talking about a signature on 240 books .... which is a relatively small effort

I agree. He complains about the leveraging of his signature, saying that he signed a ton of items for free... But this time buyers have paid... So... Meh.
