some1 buy it, give it to mrframeman, then u can be in the cool gang, like me

There's those famous pants again

haha, in the photo, it looks more like jeans, not sure the size of the frame, id say maybe 90cmx90cm

i will hold off until tomorrow evening for the bay with this, as i think its a great deal for someone, im not looking to cash in on it, but for an A/P of an edition of only 50 anyway i would say thats pretty much are bargain.

checked espresso beans and the highest an A/P of this has sold for on ebay is £1450

cant say i did not try! cheers

J

dunno, thats what it says on my COA and print.

The A/P is obviously an Artist Proof which would have been given by dface or are the original tests. No different from the original run but obviously only a few of them. There is obvious paint and handfinishing on the one ive got, but havent seen a regular one to compare

J

here you are, definition of an artist proof:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist's_proof

soooooo nice!!! I always liked this one....

And that is a great frame job up above!

final call, i can understand the time of the month etc if its to much for people on here. I think it will go well on ebay though when it gets offered out.

PM me if interested.

read the BRP description, if you can be arsed...it is

Death and Glory
We want you to know how hard this print was to make
First of all we chose to use 400grm BFK Rives Arches paper. This paper is so heavy that field mice and small birds of prey often become trapped under a single sheet.
Each sheet is then soaked in water for 24 hours so the ink will take to the paper.
We couldnt use a steel plate, because it couldnt give us the level of detail we needed. The acid bites too hard into the plate. So we used a zinc plate.
Then we used acid that you cant even buy anymore. Acid that had literally been sitting on the printers shelves for the last twenty years. Acid that drove the printers mad and their wives into the arms of corrupt, gun-running Mafiosi from Leamington Spa.
After lots of attempts to get the acid to bite the way we need it to we start to print

When we print we have to rub the ink over the plate. Then get rid of all the ink from the plate, labouriously wiping it down with tissue, then newspaper, then by hand

After that, we take the paper out of the water. By now the soaked 400grm paper weighs about the same weight as a baby elephant seal and takes eight grown men to carry it across the room. (Three of those men ended up in A&E.)
The eight men then place the paper on the plate and put it through the etching press.

Half the time we get it out the other end find out the image isnt quite up to Mikes foolishly exacting standards and have to throw it away, while Mike stands at the back of the room, quietly weeping over seventeen different calculators.

We repeat this process as many times as we have to before getting an edition The prints then have to be blotted three times over three days so the paper doesnt cockle as the water dries and thus ruining even more of these damned prints.

Then we collect them and ferry them to D*Face who painstakingly colours each individual print. Thats probably another long, drawn out process, but quite frankly were just happy to have them out of our sight and dont really want to hear about that.

maybe you should have more knowledge about your stuff

how much was the print at cost

im not condescending you, thats just what it says on the BRP and they printed them so they will know what the process was.

dont condescend me.

£350

the skulls are painted are they not?
