Ian Francis ๐ฌ๐ง Bristol Artist โข New Paintings โข For Sale, by foundation on Feb 1, 2008 11:03:23 GMT 1, ... or the fact that micallef has a couple of years extra building up a rep, respectable back catalogue and sound fan base. Love alot of Ian early work, but alot of its looking the same these days ( remember similar comments being said about micallefs work with the eyestorm prints... go figure). Its interesting what you say about what if ians work was released through POW?
Not sure if it would need to be POW but anywhere that wasnt charging over $1000 for a single print by a fledgling artist might be a good move for him.
Amusing to see the same flippers / life long fans that were here the last time harping on about how great Ian was and then selling their still drying BLKMRKT sets the following day.... finally the flippers are getting scared and not jumping in feet first ( maybe another thing that the Laz Micallef release helped create, was the destruction of the SURE THING ( micallef, choe, francis etc....) the less the prints land in the laps of the buy-to sell brigade the better the fans will be in the long run. IMO

Hopefully the risks have dissuaded them and the market balances out to appropriate values. It bugs me to think it's possible that the flippers drive up print costs by creating false demand. grr

I think that in this situation although there are 12 prints the reality is there are only 500 total prints that have been released. I agree that its a touchy thing but is it so bad that a print run doesn't sell out in seconds? Just means the flippers aren't buying in and the people that really want them can get them IMO.
