Futura πΊπΈ Leonard Hilton McGurr β’ New York Graffiti Artist, by hellfo on Nov 23, 2020 13:16:13 GMT 1, hi, he said that he painted them himself. i trust this guy. what bothers me way more is the fact that the publisher (and a very established one) did such a bad job. i ordered on the 29th of october from amazon uk and probably the order will be cancelled. i like the hand finished job he did on these. and i think that this edition is for the fans and not the flippers. all the "die hard" fans had enough time to order without big marketing hype and now this. but hope dies last maybe i`ll get my copy from amazon. as i said i like this edition a lot.Β

Futura πΊπΈ Leonard Hilton McGurr β’ New York Graffiti Artist, by felox on Nov 23, 2020 13:21:58 GMT 1, but what's the point? that this edition is not signed? i think everybody who follows this guy long enough has an item which is signed by him at home. and if not you will have the chance to met him and as he wrote he is always willing to sign everything. and you can still cancel your order. what you get or not is in my opinion fair for this amount of money.

Most UK buyers ordered on Amazon to avoid customs and the price was better than on Rizzoli site.
If amazon doesnβt get the stock there wonβt be many books heading to the UK.

I agree. But the argue between futura and rizzoli is ridicoulous, nor the artist neither the publisher have done a good job, that's what we're talking about.

But the argue between futura and rizzoli is ridicoulous, nor the artist neither the publisher have done a good job, that's what we're talking about. I personally don't see the issue on signing the clamshell as well as the stencil/HF? Why can't be both?
But then people would ask - why arenβt they numbered out of 240 (maybe they are- but if they are then a signature would be too hard). Eventually weβll find out.

Futura πΊπΈ Leonard Hilton McGurr β’ New York Graffiti Artist, by flatcolor on Nov 23, 2020 20:18:52 GMT 1, Just spoke with someone at Rizzoli on the phone.
They said that no orders of this edition have been processed anywhere yet.
(so if your credit card pending charge dropped off, that doesn't mean anything)
They are indeed way oversold.
I purchased mine on the 17th direct from Rizzoli and I "just missed" the cutoff.
In fact, I'm now on the waiting list in case Futura does any extras(the person told me there might be some extra ones done, and they confirmed that I'm one of the first 5 people on the list.
They did not tell me how long that list was.
For your reference my order number is 1285*
Hope this helps some people understand where they may be on the list

Knowing what a good dude Lenny is, you're probably right.
I'm just gutted to be told how close I was to the cut off.
Especially seeing how good these clamshells are starting to look.
Have been a Futura fan over 30 years now and, even though I own some posters and some books and small things, this will probably the closest I ever come to owning an original piece.
Good luck to all who get one, and to the ones that canceled your orders over a lack of signature, you played yourselves.
