I finished the challenge and still no clue about the print. Will see!
It was really fun and such at a perfect moment in my life, gave me the opportunity to be on my own to think.

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by loucastel on Mar 4, 2012 11:34:41 GMT 1, Totally disillusioned with the Hirst spot thing, I have been a keen admirer of his work for a number of years now, but I didn't realise just how out of control the whole spot marketing machine has got, It's gone a bit like Dr Zeus with his star machine, if it's got a surface, we can put spot's on it.
This has been brought home to me after a browse through Other Criteria's website for Hirst, just couldn't believe the amount of tat you can buy with spots, from T-towels, purses and I'm sure if you applied for a commission and had the money you could take in you're guinea pig for the spot treatment,
so I think it is time for me to now sell the two Hirst pieces I own,
Your's disillusioned.....

But those items have been released to promote his recent Gagosian retrospective and, I guess, forthcoming Tate show.
No different really to the tons of other merchandise released at gallery gift shops.
It's cheap tat... but at least it IS cheap, and not priced as if it's fine art.

You are best to contact Other Criteria and Manifold something as they are releasing new editions hourly it seems....
I do not think you will find any shortage on new releases of 500 editions.

Thanks mate - delighted to have done it, congrats yourself! Pity we didn't cross paths..Turned out to be trickier than I expected but a fantastic experience overall
That dedication stressed me out completely cos I just assumed he had a generic "Well Done" scrawl lined up for us all and had no idea that we'd have to come up with something clever ourselves ;D...scribbled something down in a panic, will post pics when I get it! What about yourself? Good trip?

Looks nice - I have ended up playing it safe ( boring?) and gone for a white box frame...more so to complement a Riley on the other wall. This looks really good. I am having my Lanoside with a mount. Will post pics when back from Pauli Frames
