Great for fans to be able to buy this stuff, but there's something slightly depressing about James selling it off...

Totally. Either he needs the cash, or is sick of it all - both sad. Or maybe he's sharing to be nice? On an unrelated note, can anyone lend me £5k? The printing proofs are the ones for me. Futura originals would be incredible but too pricey at the moment. The Futura laserjet jobs seem a bit cheeky. £750 for an old print-out? The Swifty ones are all fantastic, but I really don't need any more Mo'Wax logos on my walls. Do I?

Got myself the Futura Alphabet Print / Poster whatever that is just because I always wanted to have that one and I got too excited... prices are definitely not cheap!
Totally agree on those UNSIGNED print outs... taking the piss really. That camp print is at least £100 too expensive as well...

The Alphabet print is also something I've always wanted, but it's way too expensive. I'd like to get a printing proof but I'm really too short on money at the moment... It's one month too soon :/
As for the Futura laser print, they are overpriced indeed, but I think they'd justify the price by the fact that they really are pieces from the Mo' Wax archive. <-- EDIT : I mean, they're not a product edited in 1000's of pieces like the MWA / PF / Alphabet prints, nor a new work, they are unique items that were a part of the Mo' Wax office.

Oh and the Futura canvas with the Mo' Wax logo that was used for the UA mix, I didn't knew it was a real Futura artwork, I always thought it was a dodgy cover they made just for the mix. Suddenly I think it is beautiful It definitely is what I'd buy if I could! An original Futura painting with a Mo' Wax logo? Damn, that's everything I love in a little square.

Is it usual for a gallery to sell all the stuff before it's even been exhibited? I suppose this means I won't have to rush to see the actual exhibit now I've chosen what to buy.
It's a shame they've only got the unmarked Priest Statues by Gonzales. Tempted, but £150 is a bit steep.

Futura camo canvas poster and Pysence Fiction billboard for me.
I wonder if 'canvas' is a description of the original or the material

It's just a poster... so I guess they refer to the original.
Where will you put those massive pieces up?!

Is it usual for a gallery to sell all the stuff before it's even been exhibited? Yes, this is normal. Most art is usually pre-sold or on the opening night. During the exhibit, there will most likely be a little red dot on the wall next to any work that has been purchased already. The laser prints are kinda strange. Probably printed on a regular office inkjet printer from the 90s. I am guessing its not on acid free paper or archival ink. But, the hype lays in the fact that these were hanging in the MW office during the Psyence Fiction years. I am happy to see Swifty being brought into the fold and given the respect he deserves. The orange camo print is also pretty dope.
