all the same 'improvised minotaur' would have to grow some 50ft before i saw it

antony micallef, by bored with screen names on Sept 14, 2007 17:36:32 GMT 1, I'm going to LA (from Las Vegas), and I think the only one I'm going to try for is Peacekeeper (if the others don't grow on me more). Is anyone going to be unavailable to try for them when they're released? If so I might be able to help you obtain one at cost.
PM me if interested, first come first served, and all I ask is you pay for shipping. Just let me know what print(s) you're interested in.
Also, I have a few close friends I will also be asking, so dibs go to them I'm afraid, but I'm not thinking they will be interested.

I see where you're coming from. Improvised Minotaur and Peacekeeper are good, but not over keen on the other two. Got to ask if some will be paying for an image or a name.

antony micallef, by dave313perry on Sept 14, 2007 18:02:41 GMT 1, Ok heres my take - i really like the new set of prints from Laz, Think they are distinctive and recognisable first of all - the peacekeeper is ace. I know they are recycled and old images but does this matter? i like the image for what it is, for content, style, technique etc etc and for me these are spot on 100% Micallef genious, these prints are exactly what people have been drumming up with the L.A show just round the corner. I dont get how people have gone from Micallef addicts and hyping his work to dismissing it from a small jpeg on Laz as poor and a let down!!!!!
You can argue about the price all you like but they will sell out in ultra quick time! - and imagion them being sold at ยฃ100 - every tom dick and harry student would grab ten mates - set up camp the night before and clean the place out! i think the price is reasonable - i didnt hear many complaints about paying such prices for Neate pieces - although i do realise they were smaller editions - bu there were more designs.....swings and round-a-bouts IMO
If you like um buy um and if you dont someone else will!!
Peace out!

antony micallef, by Gentle Mental on Sept 14, 2007 18:11:16 GMT 1, They are prettier than the old POW's charcoals.... think you need to get at least 3. with improvised in the middle. any less would feel like something's missing....
peacekeeper is for those who can't afford/manage to get the abovementioned 3. (as if that be easier!)
POW's micallef's would be charcoals... maybe 4-5 at 600 to 800 each, i suspect... it's a new show.. there should be enough new stuff to make more than 4!
then, after all the transactions' cleared and tubes filled and sent,... POW would release mr B's LA + 3 new prints!
early Oct (as i predicted.... heh heh)

How can people say he's producing the same old stuff, he's not even released 20 prints yet!!
And as for he's not groundbreaking enough, give the guy a break ppl nobodys even seen the show yet, who knows whats gonna be there!!!
I do agree that the prints are a bit expensive tho  spose it makes the eyestorm prints look like better value than anyof the 400/500 editions tho 
peaceout

(would rather have an original of a lesser known artist and something more 'hangable' from my point of view..... ) the show will be fun either way... so I am looking forward to it.

antony micallef, by sausageboonwee on Sept 14, 2007 18:39:49 GMT 1, These prints are poor - I really think all of them are sub standard and would almost be laughable if from new artist. Don't get me wrong, I think AM has produced some truly stunning work but if I went to someone's house and they had any of them on the wall I would question their taste. The fact they are by him and will make anyone who queues all night (and there will be many) lots of lovely money makes all the difference. They are clichรฉd and uninspiring. Is Uzi lover some kind of reference to Phil Collins "Easy lover". I also think they are so 'macho' they are a tad gay (in the modern sense of the word)

what do people think the policy will be - one of each per person?
anyway what's 5k? - it grows on trees ;D

, these need to be seen in person before passing judgement.
