José Parlá Print Release - Elms Lesters - 5th Dec, by Deleted on Dec 10, 2009 11:10:35 GMT 1, A few thoughts on my first experience dealing with Elms... 1. I spoke to Fiona twice on the phone when deciding which piece to choose and she was one of the nicest people I have dealt with. She was honest, patient, kind, and genuinely appreciative (she treated me as if I were buying a $100K Neate original). 2. My WTL was shipped overnight from London to the US...absolutely first class. 3. The print was packaged better than any print I have ever received...giant double tubes w/the inner one bagged, and the print was wrapped beyond belief! 4. The print itself is incredible...I took it to the framer as soon as it arrived this morning, and neither of us could stop staring at it. This is a guy who had never seen Parla's work before, and he was completely gushing about the quality. The depth is unlike anything I have ever seen in a print...INCREDIBLE! Sorry if I'm bubbling over about this, but if there are any of these left (and you are on the fence), BUY THEM!
Great post  you sounds like one happy customer!
It's incredible how Paul and Fiona do their business.

Fiona was great, even allowed me to request my favorite number for St. Giles
Ironically enough, I was one off from getting it to begin with.
Rec'd yesterday in Western NY...incredibly fast shipping.

Collected mine today and was told very small number of each left, I must say that these are very special prints.

José Parlá Print Release - Elms Lesters - 5th Dec, by Heavyconsumer on Dec 10, 2009 22:18:31 GMT 1, Chomping at the bit to buy one of these but no way in hell I can drop £800 + 60% import tax + framing (not to mention my local framers would most probably destroy it anyway). I'm absolutely bowled over by the photos of St.Giles above. Gotta be (based on jpegs) one of the most incredible prints out there. The anti-giclee brigade are being made to look like mindless nodding dogs from what I can tell! Gimme an inkjet printout anyday! (although these HAVE also been screen-printed of course).
Even the wife can't believe how nice this looks and she very rarely gets moved by the art online.

José Parlá Print Release - Elms Lesters - 5th Dec, by monkeyart on Dec 10, 2009 22:42:28 GMT 1, Hi HC, I'd be pretty sharpish if you want one, which off course you do, as I was there last Sat and got number 58, not sure many St Giles are left... do it!! Worry about the framing next year. For me and I've been collecting prints for years (B included since 03) but this is the best looking print I own!! Maybe my taste's have changed..I'm basically decorating my living room around this print!
Mr B will be resigned to the hall :-)

if i had the cash atm - id buy it in a heart beat. why do these prints always come out when i've got no cash!!!!

So instead of any Parla print I got myself:
-DFace "Riot on Paper"
-Insect "Anatomy of Love"
-Guy Denning "Spire"
-Dran "Freedom of Speech"
All that for the cost of a Parla...(I know you Parla fans will not see my point, but I'm happy with all these little beauties!)
