FAILE 1/1 BUTTERFLY GIRL - Price drop!, by user on Jul 3, 2008 0:40:24 GMT 1, Tried selling both of these to fund the purchase of a Kinsey and a Parla (at different times.) Got messed about by a few people and people went awol so have decided to put both of these on ebay within the next day or two with a "buy it now" and "offers" function.

I'll be honest in saying that the money from the sales will no longer be going to fund other art, I have decided instead to seize an opportunity that has arisen and set up my own dark room / photography studio which is something I have always wanted to do. It's going to cost a s**tload of money but another local photographer has offered me a deal on studio space which is too good to pass up.

Below are pics of the Butterfly Girl. It is a unique 1/1 original piece and is not from the edition of 11 pink BFGs, it was a separate one off like you see on their site at the moment. It is caked in paint, coffee and lurve and it one of the best Failes ever in my opinion because it is so raw and dirty and contains THE faile image for me - the Butterfly Girl who it seems has been retired.

Just to stress that my photos are s**t and that the print is completely covered in a cream coloured paint underneath which is pink and orange paint and ontop of which is white paint to highlight the lady herself. Then there are the metallic paint drops and coffee stains.

The 1st picture is the 1 that was on the faile site and is the best representation of how it looks.

Although it would be nice to think that it'll go on someone's wall, I reckon you would easily get over 10k for this at auction (sothebys said they would accept it) but I can't wait until the end of the year to sell.

thanks
