Can't remember the last time, if ever, a S/N release was still for sale after a day.

I'm pretty sure the past few releases have taken a day or two to sell out.

With that said, really like this one, but passed. Last few releases have been getting better. Maybe Faile's getting it's groove back.

Yeah best faile in a long while. Wish it was screen printed at that price and run size but I took one.
what makes you think it is not a screenprint? the "archival ink" description?

it references "Approximately 38 layers in the process of making this print."

Its def not clear I'd say. Is dat just the original that copies are based on? Would take forever to do that 350x at a size of 32x40. Seems crazy at $450 unless they're taking a major haircut on previous pricing.

Approximately 38 layers in the process of making this print. A rich archival pigment print on a heavyweight matte paper with deckled edges..

They wouldn’t sell a 38-layer screen print for $450, I don't think. They would also say it is a screen print if it were, I think.

Block print and screen print are way different things. Making a block print with those small blocks would take foreva.

i confirmed with faile.... same production technique (giclee) as their last block print "hollywood nights". i updated both DB listings as they were both incorrect. i bought without reading carefully and just assumed it was screened. still the best faile in years.

No screen no green, although that print is a banger for real.

Luls. Real shady of them to be so cagey in the description until directly asked.

the description is 100% intentionally misleading and also with the IG preview vid which show the colors being layered one after the other like a screen.
