Dran โข Learning To Fly, by JKW on Dec 18, 2010 18:30:49 GMT 1, Dran was really nice in person, spent a fair amount of time drawing in each book. Chatted a bit about the kid with 3D glasses he used in a few of his pieces, gave him a cyan and a red crayon and off he went
Was also nice to see his "team" screen printing bookmarks for ยฃ10 that all goes to charity. To me the bookmark was nicer than the b&w learning to fly print.

Dran โข Learning To Fly, by JKW on Dec 18, 2010 18:47:28 GMT 1, It was well worth the wait IMO, even tho we all covered in snow. The Q was nice as well, had some friendly chat with the poor girl who was freezing cold and an american lad in front of me. No need to say plenty of people were asking what we are queuing for and how much the stuff are worth :S

Dran โข Learning To Fly, by lighterboy on Dec 18, 2010 18:48:03 GMT 1, So disappointed all week after (inevitably) missing out on CYW, meeting Dran certainly made up for it, seemed a really a nice person, almost humble! Stunning drawings in both mine and my sons books. Worth queing in the snow for. I think his work is so underrated and it was an interesting mix of people in attendance. No stampede either....refreshing

I was really hoping as I wanted to snag a color online if I had the chance! Oh well, another print I wanted that wasn't able to get haha.

Dran โข Learning To Fly, by lighterboy on Dec 18, 2010 18:59:50 GMT 1, I think they may of sold out quite early, I was about 30th in line and asked for No. 5 if available but the guy behind the counter said he had got it himself, fair enough though, I got one in mid 30's, lady I spoke to later said she had only managed to get a B&W after arriving late

Dran โข Learning To Fly, by morrow on Dec 18, 2010 19:03:42 GMT 1, I guess that makes me feel a little better... I passed on the b/w white release online yesterday in hopes I could manage to get the color at some point in time. I have a feeling most of these are staying with their buyers though so it might be hard to get one in the secondary. Thanks for the responses everyone!

Dran โข Learning To Fly, by lighterboy on Dec 18, 2010 19:27:14 GMT 1, You may be right about the secondary market as the lady behind me had said she was desperate for a colour version, I did not have the heart to tell her I had got one, I was surprised as she was older and had a continental accent. She also said her son had got her into street art, as she had always collected more classical pieces and she loved Drans work. Some always appear on eBay (which also can be quite handy if reasonably priced or a must have). Mine for the record will be for my 9 month old son for his first Christmas, as after he was born his hunger cry sounded like a little bird and that's what my wife called him. I instantly thought of that when first seeing the piece in M&S and could not believe how apt it was, will love seeing it on his bedroom wall.

A really nice member of this forum out of the goodness of her heart volunteered to help me out on this but after braving the elements and long queue they were just sold out.one little consolation is that she did get me a signed book.I really had my heart set on it so if there is any one out there please get in touch. And to gwennie thanks again you have been brilliant it's people like you that make all the difference in this world.

Dran โข Learning To Fly, by gibbin82 on Dec 19, 2010 19:24:18 GMT 1, I am one of the lucky ones to get a "Learning to fly", but for those wanting a Dran who did miss out and are not prepared to pay well over the odds for one on eBay (although I dont expect there will be many of these as I think there was probally very few that went to flippers), there are still (as of late Friday afternoon) about 18 "I have chalks" prints left, about a dozen of these are unframed. There is a .pdf file of the remaining unsold prints that the shop use, so you miight be able to request this list by email to make a choice and then maybe POW would post these. The unframed ones are ยฃ400 plus VAT which may sound quite a lot but when you see the amount of work that has gone into each, outside of the screen printed area, they are IMO well worth it as they are all individual pieces and not just a bit of hand finishing here and there.
Please excuse the cross posting but this I have also posted this in the Exhibit thread for those looking there for that print.

Dran โข Learning To Fly, by Happy Shopper on Dec 19, 2010 21:36:39 GMT 1, When did they start printing the bookmarks? Typical POW. Even when I bought the book they didn't say there would be a signing. Luckily I knew anyway! I wonder how many left without knowing!? And they didn't mention there'd be anything else happening. Nevermind. Still the best print/event from M&S this year... IMO
