Today sees the release of 3 new prints and children's play blocks from Faile, a nice quarter of million dollars for the New York brothers. If there was a laboratory test to analyse the inverse nature of inspiration to monetary gain they would be the perfect test subjects. As yet, no pictures of these items, but at a guess to be based on the usual set of imagery:
It's wonderful to note the usual 'hype'rbole from the usual source to gather interest for 'another' release.
This lot are so dull it's hard to even muster the enthusiasm to be scathing about them. Looking at it always reminds me of a primary school art exercise involving cutting up some old magazines, collaging them together and then maybe adding some random splashes of paint and felt tip pen scrawls.
ReplyDeleteI too share the above commenters sentiment. I can't even muster up any witty scathing remarks about Faile. All they warrant is the "meh" of common parlance.
ReplyDeleteFor 150 dollars i'd want a shit load of coco pops to be included in those poxy boxes...
ReplyDeleteAnother pair that have bored me enough to sell anything I ever owned by them
ReplyDeleteOur business model:
ReplyDelete1. Buy some 2x2" timber, a saw, some paint, vintage comics
2. Cut up the blocks and proceed to copy images from the comics using the word Faile wherever possible
3. Sell to you cash stupid fans. As a guideline 1 set of 8 blocks will generate more money than any of your initial outgoings and you will have plenty more to make with your 2x2" timber
FAQ:
Q - Shit, i've just spilt my latte over some blocks, what can I do?
A - Congratulations, these can be sold as the artist edition and go for twice as much.
Q - I've run out of comics/ideas of things to print, help.
A - Don't worry your fans don't actually care, they just want to be seperated from their money, release some more of your previous ideas.
It's been quite a while coming, and the tension has been mounting like when watching the Vatican chimney to see what colour the smoke will be, but I can now confirm that his excellency Little Lord Vandalog, the commercial ambassador of all things 'street' has now officially declared that the play blocks are....AWESOME dude!
