That was the time of the plague, there's no proof the rhyme existed at that time, thats the whole purpose of the debunking. What it doesn't exclude though, is that the rhyme could still be written about the plague but years later.

Arguments of the origins and meaning of the nursery rhyme aside, I think the juxtaposition of the kids and nuclear mushroom cloud is both clever and original, also it's great to see a piece that was originally stencilled on walls to make it successfully to print.

Just recieved mine today AP 2 of 7.

Frankie/CB and Mantis have done an amazing job with this release.

Stunning!

With deckled edges all 4 sides I might float the motherfucker.

At last I have something to post in this thread. I was one of the people that was on-line on the 8th when the news of the print got leaked, I shot off a quick mail and Frankie said he'd put one aside for me. A couple of weeks later when everyone started to say they'd paid for theirs I got in touch with Frankie who by this time was inundated with requests, he apologised that he'd forgotten me and over sold the print but said too leave it with him and he'd do his best. We exchanged a few mails, all very cordial, then today when I'd just about given up hope one became available and so I've once more got one on the way.

I don't normally like too say anything until I've got something in hand, just in case, but in this instance I wanted too share my experience of dealing with Frankie with you all. Frankie could have kept this one back and sold it to a mate or even done a deal for more money in a few weeks but he didn't he stuck too his word and did manage too sort me out so fair play to him. If this is how he does business then I can't recommend him highly enough and would happily buy from camp barbara again, thanks Frankie I look forward too being able to praise your product as much as your business practice

Nothing but praise for the way Frankie's done business from me as well.

Respect points should be due from all concerned.

There's always the blood for oil print if you miss the real dinars version.

Just got my Mantis back from the Framers.
Very pleased with it - Love this image - ;D

What do you guys think?

2 pics - 1 with Flash, 1 without.
I posted a pic of the back as well, the Framer suggested putting the COA there in a clear A4 Folder to keep in with the print.







I'd like to thank my agent, God, Buddha, Frankie, Mantis, the members of this forum and a special Thanks to Chartwell Gallery Framers in Southchurch road, Southend, Essex for being there for me.....Im welling up here.

That's a good idea sticking the coa on the back like that.

I am afraid it is not a good idea as if it gets nicked it makes it much easier to sell knocked off pieces of art if they have their COA.
Most people recommend keeping both well separate from one another. Looks bloody good mind you and lovely frame job.

Penntlesspig - lovely frame job mate.

Simple but beautifuuly executed. You can tell a good framer by the finish.

Looks class

Not my framing mate. I was merely quoting "danvnuk". I wish it was mine. Hahahaha.

Knock yourself out CBL - Glad you like it enough to consider something similiar.

My framer suggested a black bevel accent funnily enough - he mocked it up and I really liked it - but Im just not that adventurous when it comes to framing lol - I just couldn't make up my mind - so in the end went for the simpler option.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. Art is usually the last thing crack-head burglars are interested in when they break in your gaff.

Cheers nikki, nice to see these going in frames, bet you're happy.
