Seller has some high hopes there but that is just with asking price, id guess he'd take best offer to double his money, it'll sit

If someone is interested check that feedback first. Two negatives in last 6 months but he does have 33 positives. 2 negatives looks like one time he tried to do a presale and failed, another buyer says packed and sent 8 Fairey prints in one 3" tube.

He's lookin for that same range 400-450 prob. Hasn't sold much or least no one leavin em feedback. At least he says is presale. If you want one I'd go with this one but let him wait it out and let that asking price and his expectations go down.

Seriously 8 & 900. I actually clicked through for one after much debate as Love the piece and James’s work. But he just released some of his inventory a few weeks ago and has a $75 timed edition. I doubt you’d even double your money on the 24K piece much less what they are asking.

Would love to see a pic though if anyone did order when received.

Looking forward to seeing what this year brings since he said he's going to low run fine art editions. I know he's got his screenprint setup now, but personally I still prefer his giclees. His super vibrant stuff looks great giclee printed.

I'm actively looking for older giclees if any of the old timers in here are sitting on some and looking to move them.

Skully Mambo 5 is a unique departure from the series. We got back to our roots and created a four color screenprint, but what's different about this print from anything I've done in the past is that it can be viewed/hung either horizontally or vertically. I designed this print with 2020 in mind, I mean how could it not infiltrate everything at this point. This whole year has felt upside down to say the least, and so this is my take on the topsy-turvy Skully Mambo.

Image

Image

In addition to being a "reversible" print, Skully Mambo 5 also glows in the dark! I found the glowiest glow in the dark pigment and we mixed it into all the colors (except the black). When we exposed the print to our ultraviolet light table at the studio it really glowed! Keep in mind that the amount of glow will vary depending on the exposure to light and we can't guarantee the glow will hold up over time (that's just the way it is).

Image

Skully Mambo 5 will be available in three different editions:

The first is an 18" x 24" regular edition of 120 on white coventry rag paper with deckled edges.

The second edition an 18" x 24" rainbow foil edition of 40 with cut edges.

The third edition is an 18" x 24" Rose Goil Foil edition of 15 with cut edges.

Each edition has glow in the dark pigment and can be hung either horizontally or vertically.

All three editions will drop in the shop today, October 15th at 3PM Pacific Time at www.jamesreadsmerch.com.

Drops in a few minutes.
