$650.00 and a run of 100? Pretty ballsy.

[diggs25]

Big fan of Mear's work, but $650.00 for a run of 100 is pretty steep. We'll have to wait and see how fast they sell.

jimmy was good in my book, but the hype surrounding him already surpasses his work. he was brilliant, no question about that, but c'mon, how many drymounting jimmy hendrix prints do we really need? the choe was the definite one and with that it should all end. also, when did jimmy turn into some kind of god that would justify this particular portrayal of him? he was only human. a talented human, but only human. it is unlikely for a god to overdose.

also, as doug stanhope already stated: how do you know he wasn't out of fudge? if he'd still be alive maybe he'd been doing the halftime superbowl show by now. you don't know.

i have no beef regarding the price though. this for sure was pretty expensive to produce if done right.

IMO it should have ended before Choe.... way before Choe....like a real long time ago...
And I never got why everyone liiked Choe's so much either....since when did Hendrix have dreads?

Looks rad, but not $650 rad.

Whoa Bro. You better pull out War Heroes or Band of Gypsies again. You losing touch.....

[pjtaper]

i'll be shocked if this sells out...
$650? why the price increase? I dig his work, I def don't need another Hendrix print though, espeically one for $650... I wish Neil Young had more prints of him!

[fluffhead13]

fwiw, every mear one print I have bought has later been marked down (at least 100) by the gallery.

if it wasn't for the choe then i would completely agree.

And I never got why everyone liiked Choe's so much either.

personally i think it is the ultimate jimi print, artistically. personal preference though.

...since when did Hendrix have dreads?

wishful thinking i guess. he should have had dreads.

wrong. first of all jimi and cousins are not particularily the kind of music that i am particularily interested in. if someone throws in a jimi, dead, stevens .. etc cd then i for sure enjoy it and i admire and respect the kind of musical genious that he was, especially his virtuosity, but with all the great bands and artists to chose from he is not neccessarily one of my personal heroes.

as for being out of fudge, you never know. look at the stones, look at the who. they should have all stopped at their peak. forever. plant from led zed realised that it was a matter or time and being young and that dragging this into grandpa age would be a mistake. to transfer this into a genre that i am more interested in i would love to name talk talk at this point. perfect band, but they will most likely never ever release anything ever again, which i completely support. or look at depeche mode. i give them a lot of credit for trying to reinvent themselves, but c'mon. i can listen to their last 3 releases, admire the amount of efford that went in it, hype up the songwriting, the production, the gazillion of remixes on their EPs, but i only need to listen to one of their classics like "to have and to hold" for example once and instantly their last 7 years of existence become meaningless.

denis leary said it best when he said "...wouldn't it be nice to remember elvis thin, with a full set of hair, in his golden suit? that's why i am glad that jesus died when he did. if he'd be still around he would be walking around jerusalem screaming 'hey bring me a cheeseburger. maria magdalene, come here, i want a blowjob right now."

secondly jimi was a human being and i am completely opposed to the idea of iconizing people up to such level. no matter if it is musicians, other artists or political leaders. they are neither saints nor demigods. there are people whose work i admire, but i don't admire the person. you don't know about their darkest secrets and if you put their portrayal up on the wall then it is not about them, it is about the idea that you project into them. human beings are born hypocrites. some manage to get that under control better than others, but none of us are flawless.

let's take mike franti of the beatnigs/disposable heroes of hiophoprisy for example. made one of the best and most meaningfull allbums ever with his release "hypocrisy is the greatest luxury". i believed him. he believed himself. years later he traded that in for making cozy fuzzy pop raggae pseudo revolutionairy pop tunes.

more? ben elton, offensive british standup comedian turning into a dude that made the queen music with andrew loyd webber.

the list goes on and on and on.
