thought there would have been more by now with higher prices than that. maybe we will stand a chance of buying the next few prints that get released rather than the usual pow 20minute dash with no success

I cant see why any one would pay that price when you can buy direct from HMP.

well, I did actually take the liberty of asking the guys at HMP what the next Dolk print would be and when it would be coming out, and they were quite polite,

they said that it's quite likely going to be 'girl with a teddy', which is one of my personal favourites, and they reckon it will be out in the summer.

while I'm on the subject of personal favourites, I also like the one where the monkey's pointing a banana at his head :-/

OK, I might sound like a bit of a thingy here, but I hope that if HMP does make a GWT print that they modify it such that both the print and the canvasses are distinct. I'm not a big fan of having the exact same image used in different runs and in different mediums. Call me crazy.

BTW, Officer Down is a pretty d**n funny print. Its a little obvious, but I always think Dukes of Hazard when I see it, and that makes me smile. Go figure.

I think its a great print to drop as part of a first release. Hopefully we'll see some variation of zooicide as well. Its another very cool image.

Have just ordered this print from HMP. LOVE IT.

Glad to see Dolk is finally getting some more prints out there for us to buy.

Haven't got it yet but a mate of mine who received his today ( who i have finally got into the art bug and loves Dolk's work )says that it has got a bit of smudging around the black edges. Is it supposed to be like this. I can't compare yet as i haven't got mine yet. :'(

cheers.

P.S. Do we know if/when HMP will release the 'girl with the teddy' as a print?

hmp is waiting for the papers to arrive and printing will take a few weeks, so next print will be out in a month or two! altho hmp didnt confirm to me that it was going to be girl with teddy or not.

sounds like HMP haven't sold 100 of each yet. does anyone think that this will effect the release of the next run of prints.

I hope the lack of sales doesn't affect the release on new prints, i think if they bring out some more of Dolk's work it will boost the sales all round. Dolk's got some fantastic stuff in the pipe and he strikes me as the kind of artist that will go further still and produce even better work.

can I have free canvas now please Dolk ?

Hope you're right Roy. Can't wait to see if he brings out Police Line as a print. Really want that on my wall just don't have a big enough piggy bank to stretch to the canvas.

i thought 500 of each print was a little too high as a print run
I know the che print was 500 but that took ages to sell out & was on PoW so had more "passing trade" than the HMP site.

I would have thought 200 for future print runs would have been more sensible....but at the same price as the other prints.
