These are amazing

Wow that's a big statement.

Why would you consider it his best out of curiosity?

Love how they bait the buyer with this, "Due to unprecedented demand, we do anticipate that these works will sell out quickly, so please be sure to visit our site at the appropriate time. Good luck!
" I know 'Flashpoint' took a while to sell out completely and I don't think this one is nearly as good. I know there are a few who would agree that with the addition of a gallery releasing his pieces they just seem to be too expensive. Cut out the middle man and bring back the old days when he would release them himself. Although I do appreciate much of his work I have to say this one does nothing for me, but good luck to those that go for it.

Gut says $800 for the regulars and $950 for the 24k gold. His previous releases with Spoke-Art were between $650 and $850 for slightly higher quantities. Break the Bank (newer version) was $750 for the regular version and $850 for the gold version (gutted I didn't get that one. If anyone wants to trade for a regular plus some cash, hit me up).

Appreciated. Yes, I get it and I personally love your gallery and have purchased art from you in the past. I just thought it was kind of cheesy to put that out there like that but that's only one members opinion and after all it is your gallery. I think it just goes without saying that as popular as Penny is, everybody knows that it's first come first served. Regarding galleries, I understand that there is a place for them to promote, sell and grow artists. It just seems like every time I turn around there is another gallery releasing another artist work and the market to me is just becoming over-saturated. As if they are all trying to grab as much of everyone's money as fast as they can and truthfully that's what that statement made me feel like (don't miss out, be there at the right time). However, there is a positive side to this train of thought once it is recognized, it has helped me curtail my spending because if I don't make a purchase this week on some artist's release, I know there will be another one next week so I never feel like I'm missing out too badly. I hope this makes since to someone out there. No offense to you and your gallery but I would like to see more artist doing what Seen is doing because although some of his stuff is in galleries he has taken control of his own marketing and is able to get his art out to collectors at a more reasonable price through his website. I know other artists are doing this as well but it seems that Penny use to and now he's not, unless you want some custom one off piece. This is fine by all standards because it is a free market and every artist can choose how he/she wants to sell their art. I personally am leaning towards more of the direct route.
Now, regarding this latest Penny release maybe I'm missing something here because I do appreciate much of his work and yes some of it hangs in my house as we speak. My preference is his more political and historically controversial subject matters ie: 'Flashpoint', 'The Special Relationship', 'Dead on the Money' etc. etc...
Don't get me wrong as there are people who enjoy his more sedate pieces which is fine and this one fits right in there IMO. In the end it's just not for me. I was initially attracted to his work because I thought he was capturing something more cutting edge idealistically speaking and now maybe not so much or it just seems longer between those really in your face releases. I'm sure this release will sell out and your gallery will continue to do fine because you do put good art out there and I wish you all the best. I'm sure I'll buy another piece from you down the line, unless of course you ban me for my honesty. I would only ask you to ask Penny to turn up the heat and get back to rockin' his fans with something more cutting edge or controversial. Good luck with the release.

His last offering (not with Spoke) were over USD 1k, these could be in the same bracket...

I have enjoyed reading the debate between you and Poly Mindset. If only more discussions could be held in similarly courteous tones.
Good luck to you and Penny for this release. I remain very fond of my early 1/1 Penny original.

Bubble" will be available beginning at 11am Pacific in our online store. This is from Spoke art website for those interested. Wouldn't want any potential buyers to miss out. Good luck.

I was pretty much spot on

850 & 1100
