Can anyone provide a quick primer on Faile? In short, what's his story? When do prints become available, etc?

FAILE
is a collective. There are 3 or 4 people who work together. I can't remember if there are 2 or 3, but there the guys in the collective are all named Patrick. There there is one Woman. They don't have specific times when releasing items.

Peace

There is an un-signed, numbered out of 600 version of "Captivating" available at POW for less than $50. I was thinking of grabbing one because I love their signature snarling dog.

The one thing I always found weird about Faile's site is the fact that the store background is actually a screenshot of Walmart's homepage...

I think it's supposed to be like their webpage is "graffiti'd" over another page.. my take on it anyway..

They seem to have 11 different background images. If you change the 2.gif to any number between 1 and 11, you'll see different website screen shots. The one that looked like the Yellow Pages might have been a screen shot of Best Buy:

Faile

Alright, two more rookie Faile questions:

1) What does "Faile" mean? I know, I'm sure it's like somebody asking what Obey means.

2) Who is the "Ducky Waddles of Faile?"

Thanks for humoring me....

The 3 person collective started around 1998 started by calling themselves Alife - After realizing there was the store Alife in NYC and not wanting confusion or legal problems, switched to an anagram - Faile..

They also stated it was a good time to switch it up because they were getting arrested at the time for bombing..

As far as I know there is no DW of Faile.. if you find someone, let me know!

Thanks for the details on Faile. It's official, I'm really liking this stuff. Although I don't really understand/get the woman with the bunny in her mouth. But the rest of the stuff is dope.
