and the last pickup for a long while, but definitely not least! ive had my eye on this piece for quite a long time, so happy that circumstances allowed me to add him to the collection! thanks mark for killing and letting go of the final and billo for parting with the color rough...one of my favorite concepts  Great pickup! Very classic piece. Pings color roughs are so tight they almost look like finals. First one I picked up I was blown away. Are you planning to frame them? Maybe together? thanks tommy4ya! agreed this guy is a classic, one of my favorites from the newer series. i definitely agree about mark's color roughs, so many of them are as amazing as the finals. going to frame the final up for sure, not a huge fan of multiple pieces in a frame... though these two would look pretty great together. will have to consider that! |

Controlled chaos, perhaps that's a happy medium on which we can agree. But a overly structured wall with perfect measurements seems ironic when it comes to GPK art. All too often, that carefree rebellious kid that got hooked on GPK because of its nonconformity somehow becomes the stuffy, carefully measured, conformity stricken geriatric. C'est la vie. There is no right answer, only preference. But as for me, my walls will not be pretentious faux museums of GPK artistic rectitude. ...unless I have more time and someone can come over and help me get it all aligned perfectly. That'd be great. Chaotic GPK art walls would suck then. |

While the temptation is probably strong to standardize the framing, my frame dealer told me once that each artwork deserves its own customized jewelry box... If the collector's goal is to gather a piece from each series, I guess there's some kind of logic in choosing consistency. I personally don't really care about OS numbers because the cards were all mixed up in the Les Crados releases. So if I had many GPK paintings, I'm not sure I would choose consistency. |
