Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by twist65 on Nov 6, 2009 13:51:04 GMT 1, "print of the year" thats the funniest thing i've heard all day. I love Faile and am glad everyones pleased with their prints, they do look excellently printed. But come on... Its a totally underwhelming image (although I'm not from the States), regardless how you print it. If Mr Brainwash or Nick Walker had realeased this you would all be falling over yourselves to diss it...

I like it and its right up there as one of the best prints of the year imo (although I conceed its not been a vintage year to date). Don't understand all this if someone else had done it business. What about if Damien Hirst had done it? If not print of the year then I would nominate for best value print of the year.

One of the answers
You sign your work 1986, which is a reference to the Space Shuttle Challenger.What is it about that disaster that makes you want to incorporate that into your work?
Itโs kind of an off-spirit answer but in the beginning 1986 did come from the Challenger disaster. We were talking about putting things up on the street that you would see and connect with. For instance, you look at a piece of graffiti and you see and read it and thatโs about it. We did this Space Shuttle Challenger going down with flames on it and had โChallengerโ written below it. The idea was โOh Challengerโ but there would be a secondary reaction, possibly with the person youโre with, โHey, do you remember where you were when the Challenger disaster happened.โ And then a whole host of stories would come up with peopleโs different experiences. Itโs the idea that the power of a graphic can transport you back to a memory.

It is sort of one of those things where everyone knows where they were when it happened. A dramatic moment that is marked in your memory forever. Much like 9/11 or when JFK was shot I imagine. It had a big impact on us when we were young."

Just had a call from Fedex Stansted: 'How much did you pay Papermonster for your shipment'!?
I think someone may be catching onto the 'Gift' and low payment to avoid import duty...

To qualify as a gift:
* the customs declaration must be completed correctly
* the gift must be sent from a private person outside the EU to a private person(s) in this country
* there is no commercial or trade element and the gift has not been paid for either directly or indirectly
* the gift is of an occasional nature only, for example, for a birthday or anniversary.
Please note if you purchase goods from outside the EU to give as a gift to a relative or friend, whether or not addressed to that person, is treated as a โcommercial consignmentโ for which the import VAT relief threshold is ยฃ18 (paragraph 2.3 refers).

Nothing to pay as yet, and based on topboys info above, maybe thats the end of it (hopefully? ?)
