Crazy Jakes "PEACE" , by Michael Jacob on Aug 11, 2008 16:00:47 GMT 1, Greetings
Here is my new release. The title is “Peace”. I started thinking about this a few years ago, after seeing a fellow artist on the forum do a piece that had a gun inside a box. On the glass it read “in case of emergency, break glass.” I really liked it. I always liked the idea of using PEACE instead of EMERGENCY. The idea of the gun is really good, so I didnt want to reuse it. I had planned on using a Qur’an, but after talking to a few close friends, they thought is was too harsh (and that someone might go jihad on me). I plan a doing one or two for myself to say I did it, but they probably wont be for sale.
One day, I had the idea of using a Molotov cocktail. It really seemed to work. Its a tool anyone can make, and certain to cause some disruption if used. I have created two sizes, large (wine bottle, 750ml) and small (500ml). The details are below (Ive dropped the prices a bit, as I got a better deal buying my epoxy in bulk):
1.Small bottle. Edition of 25. Cost is 25 Pounds, plus 9 Pounds shipping (TOTAL 34 Pounds)
Each bottle is signed and numbered, with a white piece of fabric.
2. Large bottle. Edition of 10. Cost is 35 Pounds, plus 11 Pounds shipping (TOTAL 46 Pounds)
Each bottle is signed and numbered. You will have choice of color of fabric (white, black, tan, light blue, dark blue, red or yellow).
I sign and number the matchbox. You can either display it with the signature showing, or flip it around and just have a white box, its your choice.
The rest of my materials (bottles, epoxy resins, color dyes, etc) are due this week, and I will pour the bottles this upcoming weekend. The color of the gas will be more transparent then the photos show, I found a better dye to use). I will let them cure for a few days. They will ship August 21-22nd. Please PM if you want one. Orders will be filled in the order they are received. Prompt payment is requested. I will PM you my email address, so you can send money via paypal. Thanks for looking.
100% of the sales are going to buy paper and supplies to complete three silkscreens I have ready and waiting.
Cheers,
CraZy JaKE

I'd buy one but I'm really trying to be good and save my pennies. I'm sure you'll have no problem shifting them so you can buy those screens etc. Look forward to seeing what you've got in the pipeline, mate.

AP, I wouldnt think customs would mind, as the gasoline is a hardened and colored epoxy. I was more worried about my last Olympic print that was sent to China. That might piss someone off!
Once again, thanks!

I was going to say it'd be the security I'd be worried about but they'd probably let you straight on to the plane, no questions asked
