Ian Francis canvasses, by atkuefler on Jun 6, 2007 18:41:19 GMT 1, 70cm X 70cm and edition of only 25! If he really does sign with Laz I think these are going to skyrocket in value.

Ian Francis canvasses, by atkuefler on Jun 6, 2007 19:19:41 GMT 1, I think the forum really helps because people start to think they are missing out on the next big thing (i.e. Micallef & Neate). With that said I think we have a very good artist here that is just starting to get some attention by galleries, collectors and yes forums. What are everyones thoughts.

Ian Francis canvasses, by alderevans2007 on Jun 6, 2007 19:30:53 GMT 1, I agree. This forum has mega marketing power. If it wasn't for this forum, I would have never have thought about spending do much on art. With so much growing interest in art as shown in this forum, I feel confident enough spending 275 quid on a print because I know that the value will more or less hold if not rise
I will never sell my Ian print though as this image (Red chopper) suits me down to the ground and i think ill love it. Too me, its a blend between abstract fine art (which i dont really understand) and micaleff which makes me feel safe that I am buying a real contemporary piece. I think the colours look great aswell.

My thoughts are that we have a talented artist who is benefitting from a dozen or so people panicking just in case they miss out on the next money spinner.

Ian Francis canvasses, by Zippy on Jun 6, 2007 23:27:43 GMT 1, exactly. come on people, buy it cos you like it not cos someone posted that there are only a few left. Stop being greedy as someone who generally wants one, now cant get it. Not ALL artists increase in value daily but as so many 'with large material bags' read here, they are paranoid that they will miss out on the next Banksy. Relax a bit guys. not many have had / will have the meteroic rise that banksy has had. Slow down, think what you are buying and I hope you buy cos you like it!!! Z

Think that there could be one or two Ian Francis baggers get left out to dry. His better prints will hold their value, similar to DB, but the avaerage pictures will struggle to sell on. Only my opinion though

Think that there could be one or two Ian Francis baggers get left out to dry. His better prints will hold their value, similar to DB, but the avaerage pictures will struggle to sell on. Only my opinion though Hi Stuey
Yeh I've had a few myself so bear with me, I think Ian Francis will do well and could well do an Adam Neate, a different type of artist I agree and not in the street tradition but his images seem to have a certain power. Also I think that (and this sounds rather crap) that his prints are "pleasant" to look at, however I agree with your sentiment, but there are so many online gallery/resellers buying for a quick buck that it is hard for a genuinely interested buyer to get one, this adds to the panic and "the next big thing mentality" However one additional point, his originals are beginning to fly so it is possible the prints will follow a similar pattern. Regardless, as you know I'm all for the buy if you like it and buy if it is important. We are all just getting caught in a mad situation.

Ian Francis canvasses, by alderevans2007 on Jun 6, 2007 23:50:02 GMT 1, I will admit that I may have thought twice about getting a red chopper if it wan't for this panic. But at the end of the day, its an edition of 25, a massive 70x70cm, excellent quality by the sound of it, and IMO a great looking print. I really like Ians stuff and I really fell like it belongs in this school of artists (micaleff, banksy, neate etc.) Therefore, 275 seems very good considering how much crap sells for so much money e.g beatiful losers, other pointless colourways and what not etc. "IMO". And if he joins lazinc, then all the better. This is how I am justifying the panic buy.
I do admit that I buy and sell prints, but this is to build a collection that I will enjoy. I just spent god knows how much on two prints by an illustrator called Miles Donovan. I probably couldn't shift them on the bay for 10% what I paid. But they are my pride and joy.

There is other criteria you should consider before buying. Like, do I like this print.

With all do respect I think I do consider if I like it or not before I buy it, but thanks for asking. I think I have invested a lot of money into prints hanging on my wall just as this one will. Although you are passing judgment on me without know why I buy art.

Ian Francis canvasses, by ABC on Jun 7, 2007 7:16:55 GMT 1, I don't think there is going to be another Banksy for another decade now, the phenomenal price rises we have seen will make us collectors very happy in the future but buying other works thinking the same is going to happen is utter madness. As Zipp said Buy what you like and what you can afford to spend, If you know in a months time you are going to have to sell to pay the maxed CC then, why bother? you may lose money. But I do agree I also like Ian's work but the prints have been sitting there for a while and I never bought then so Im not tempted now. And what if Laz gets him, big deal IMO the Laz effect can't go on forever for every artist.

Well said ABC! I happened to meet up with someone from the light side last week who told me about Ian Francis, who I hadn't heard of before. I had a good look at his stuff but didn't like any of the available prints enough to buy ( I thought the sold out ones were good ) It's amazing that as soon as his work is mentioned on this site it goes in days. Lets see a few of them on get your Banksys out please!

Ian Francis canvasses, by matbat on Jun 7, 2007 7:52:08 GMT 1, Im really chuffed i got one of these 25 edition Giclee. Ive never seen a giclee before so im rather excited. I think the price is good compared to mr neate (who i love) and Mr Micallef (who in my opinion is overated). I mean i do love the LAZ prints but most of those other prints are so basic it hurts. Light Angel bombers et al look like they were done in charcoal in about 10 minutes and i think Ians work carries more weight. I cant wait to see his L.A exhibits. Thanks to all for helping me find this artist.

I love the way he contributes so much to these forums by getting involved in discussing the artists that he so obviously loves and discovered. Oh wait that's right he didn't discover any of "his" artists. The word parasite springs to mind.
i think he was banned

yeah i think he was banned, so he can't really do anything but read.
