Love Magic (First Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Love Magic is a 2021 hand-painted print in silkscreen ink and acrylic on archival Lenox 100, sized 24 x 38 inches, with each variant issued in an edition of just 6. Signed, stamped, and embossed, it sits at the scarcest end of the studio's hand-worked output, where minuscule per-variant runs make every impression essentially unique.

Why It Matters
An edition of 6 per variant makes Love Magic one of the most limited pieces in this group. The romance-themed title aligns with Faile's pop and pin-up sensibility, and the hand-painting ensures each impression differs. This scarcity plus its Valentine's-adjacent theme give it a distinctive collecting profile.
Collector Perspective
At only 6 per variant, this is a scarcity-first acquisition where hand-painted variation and surface condition are decisive. Collectors should verify the signature, stamp, and emboss, and recognize that multiple variants exist, each equally tiny. Its rarity makes it a standout within a Faile holding.
Historical Context
Faile's romance and love-themed imagery draws on vintage comics and pin-up advertising. Love Magic, released alongside the studio's Valentine's-minded 2021 prints, applies that vocabulary to an ultra-limited hand-painted format, continuing their tradition of tiny, variant-based editions on heavyweight archival paper.
