Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by jones27 on Nov 5, 2009 12:44:34 GMT 1, I found PM good at replying. They gave a little insight of the new Supine release. No pictures but confirmed it continues his recent theme of central image with flowers and black background. Should be out in a couple of weeks.

Looks like a terrific print. I love those coffee stains. What's so bad about it? I am still waiting for a trade to come through. Thanks for the pics.

Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by sand on Nov 5, 2009 14:28:51 GMT 1, Would have looked a lot better if the printing went right to the edges (like a flag) and there was no horrible border.
Also it needed to be more distressed like the original at the show in London..it just looks far too clean.

This will have been done so you can frame it with a mount I imagine...

I would have thought most people would float it as it's already massive...
Yeah agree that papermonster's pic of the print was pretty accurate so I dunno what stopki was expecting?
Still expecting these to sell for less than cost in the next few weeks on ebay..
It's not a bad print...but in my opinion there are plenty of other faile images (including the 2 other papermonster releases) that are ahead of this one...a classic? I dunno about that. Is way back on my list of classic Faile imagery...dog...f-head...ganesha...etc..

tbh I always consider mounting large prints never floating them because of ripples etc
all those 'classic' faile images i pretty much detest (unlike this print) so it really shows how wide our tastes are

Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by Happy Shopper on Nov 5, 2009 15:50:19 GMT 1, Looks better than the POW Faile prints, but not as nice as the previous Paper Monster editions.
Shame there's no hand painted background... and the white border does look a bit odd from those photos.
I guess hand painting 170/180 was pretty hard work. And 300 just impossible!

But then how many of us can afford a proper Faile print.

technically, there is a hand-painted background. well, actually it is hand-rolled.
there is a layer of acrylic paint applied to the paper...light brown/beige (you can tell by the paint run-off on the back of the print) and then the coffee splatters that look to have been wiped around with a brush, and then the red and blue silkscreen print layers....it actually does have good texture. mine arrived with some of the background layer of paint thick in spots, so there are areas of bumps under the silkscreen print. pretty cool if you ask me. pretty decent hand elements considering 300 printed.

Anyway, IMHO flag it's an iconic image... different and not classic (at the moment) for Faile but very strong and a real blue chip if Faile arrive to the 1rst art level.

I mean WTF?
What did you expect?
That after you going to open the tube with the print which you didn't buy for yourself (would indicate that you didn't like it in the first place) - POP - the beautiful Butterfly Girl will jump out of the tube?
To Twist65:I just don't get this print at all, maybe I've missed something cos I haven't seen the gallery original. But I'm really not surprised someones disappointed opening it up... If it wasn't by Faile no-one would give it a second look...
Again WTF?
Well, if you don't like it - what's there to get?
IMO only those people who buying because of the name are going to be disappointed.
But mostly not because of the actual print but because of realizing that they can't flipping it instantly for 100% profit.
To Jones27:Agree with this being a print that nobody would care about if it wasnt Faile.
That could be applied to majority of the art/artists.
But the main thing is - it is Faile and northing's gonna change that now so it's impossible to say what if it wasn't Faile.
