Conor Harrington โข Samson's Nostalgia Trap, by Street Art Fan on Dec 18, 2014 23:41:57 GMT 1, There's a few of us here already. Decent gents all. Conor's fans are such a nice, clean, pleasant bunch. And I bet their feet don't smell either

Conor Harrington โข Samson's Nostalgia Trap, by Street Art Fan on Dec 18, 2014 10:49:01 GMT 1, I thought this was the worst image from the recent show. Not sure if it was the worst - all Conor's stuff is pretty amazing - but the rapid transition from the hyper-realism of the 3 central figures in the middle of the painting to the abstract coloring effects surrounding the table seems rushed.

U2 collaborate with Urban Artists , by Street Art Fan on Nov 19, 2014 16:47:38 GMT 1, U2's 15 minutes of relevancy is just about over, that's what the problem is 15 minutes? They've been relevant for 30+ years Personally, I think the music they make is mediocre garbage, but it's just boring enough that millions of people like it. I think they've been popular for 30+ years, but not necessarily relevant for all that time. U2's high-point of relevancy, at least for me, was the mid to late 80s, when they made The Joshua Tree, contributed to Artists United Against Apartheid, and co-headlined Amnesty's Prisoners of Conscience tour. Bono may be sanctimonious, but he did help raise awareness - at least in the US - for lot of important social issues.

With all these prints out falling as the autumn leaves... , by Street Art Fan on Nov 19, 2014 16:17:30 GMT 1, Yes that is true , it was not an attack against the artists or the prints, only the number of edition per month by now : it seems to have double even tripled and the prices increase too FAILE have a proper gallery show tied into a successful book release and release 2 prints "for the fans" and "those with a bit less coin in their wallet" and because 1 print has maybe not sold out yet we wonder if they failed. As I see it they are at least 50% successful so far - great book made with a top shelf publisher, great book launch, cool show and 2 prints. If they sell most of the art in the gallery a few straggling prints won't matter and their fall season will be the culmination of 12 months or more of planning. And they will continue to be one of the entities referenced on this site as raising the bar and opening doors for others on this genre. I agree. I also find it funny how some are quick to call a print release a "failure" if it doesn't sell out right away. Are print editions a primary concern for artists as successful as Faile? Or are they focusing more on selling original works in private galleries to elite collectors at much higher prices? Do they even care at this point if their far cheaper print editions sell out?
To be honest, I dislike the tone of this thread. A little too much schadenfreude for my taste.

Faile โข Dog Prints, All Editions , by Street Art Fan on Nov 18, 2014 3:19:26 GMT 1, and for those of you who havent scoured the FAILE forum on the site.. more information here. faileforum.proboards.com/thread/1304?page=1oh. just a little factoid.. one of the Patricks was nice enough to post a comment on my instagram feed. I inquired about the signatures on the Dog Bites. Here is what they said: "It was a signature that evolved over time. Early work would be signed on the back. Then we moved to signing on the front. Was not totally confident with signing work on the front at this point. It looks stiff and small (referring to the small signature on my 2004 Dog Bite) As confidence grew the signature took on a looser flow and grew in size and became what you see today." whew. how cool is that. funny to think when this bad dog was printed they were not confident enough to sign on the front! how times have changed in 10 years. this is an epic FAILE. I hope it lands in good hands. the old signature... Very cool story, daveart. Thanks for sharing.

2001, by Street Art Fan on Nov 3, 2014 23:48:35 GMT 1, Not sure if 2001 will be playing 'round these parts, but I am planning to catch Christopher Nolan's Interstellar at the 70mm Imax opening tomorrow night. In interviews, Nolan's talked pretty openly about how much of an influence 2001 was on his film (walking monolith robots that talk! a trippy and awe-inspiring finale!). Can't wait!

Conor Harrington โข Fight Club, by Street Art Fan on Oct 17, 2014 12:34:53 GMT 1, mrchristopherrobinso I think the "tumbleweed" reference is meant to evoke the eerie silence in westerns when the protagonist enters an empty frontier town. In this case, eerie silence is what forumites encounter when they try to buy "Fight Club" because it's a highly sought after print that rarely, if ever, comes up for sale.
