Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by Photoxtc on Nov 7, 2009 5:17:41 GMT 1, I received my Faile flag in New York via FEDEX today - It is completely covered in grease , dirt , coffee and anything else they could drag in from the street. It is on very thick paper and I absolutely love my first Faile n e thing.
I'll never forget my first faile and how freaked out I was that it was sooo fucked up and damaged.... little did I know!!! hahaha

Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by Wearology on Nov 7, 2009 13:47:03 GMT 1, I wanted to buy a Faile piece for quite some time but luckily got shut out of the Vanity Fair print and unfortunately didn't win n e thing in their lottery. The moment I saw this piece I knew it was for me - clean lines , classic image and very affordable for an established crew. The paper is so thick and the dirt is on the back and front - I always appreciated Faile but felt they were cost prohibitive - this piece answers the call. It is nice to c Brooklyn represented with pride on our international forum.

Why do you say that? Vanity is a quality print. Classic image.

Yep, came Wednesday. Tube looks like it's been used as a punch bag by Nikolai Valuev and the C.O.A has been ripped but luckily the print is fine.
Those who are yet to receive theirs aren't going to be disappointed in the quality and staining! Beauty

Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by Wearology on Nov 8, 2009 3:35:13 GMT 1, I would like to clarify my statement about Vanity Fair - It is a great classic print but it is not to my individual liking. When I say luckily I missed out I was referring to F5ing like a mad man that day for an image that I didn't have a second to digest if I really loved it or not.

Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by Wearology on Nov 8, 2009 14:53:32 GMT 1, I would like to respond to the question is FAILE big in the states or just in the U.K.?
It is my personal opinion that the whole street movement in America is fragmented. FAILE definitely has a following but it is not as organized or as large as overseas. I try to gauge the whole street / graf interest by Americans by unofficial studies such as was it easy to just walk into Banksy's pet shop - yes. Where there a lot of people and or a line at the DFACE show at the Levine Gallery - no.

It's all relative isn't it. Wander into the majority of UK Galleries and ask for some Faile work and you'd get blank looks, same as you would in the States. Fact is they've a cult following in both countries, rather than being 'big'.

Coupland rocks.
