Holiday Presents, Soul Cleansing, Board Purification = SWOON, by daveart on Nov 12, 2015 15:02:09 GMT 1, Give me 20 seconds of your day.
I want to air my frustration that this board can entertain a 10 page conversation about 'has the place changed", we watch Brainwash prints sell out, we bicker and fight over pricing , we moan about the good old days, we worry the scene has lots its edge or whatever.
And all the while, i see SWOON - don't tune out now just because there isn't actually a new Banksy print. I see SWOON Braddock tiles sit unsold on her kickstarter site. Not to mention prints by a number of other artists.
LOOK. This is a chance to cleanse your art buying SOUL. Support SWOON. Get your girlfriend that doesn't understand your art a nice SWOON print. Get your mom a nice silk scarf. Buy a tile for your sister. Buy the signed print if you have the funds. but do SOMETHING. or your art buying soul will regret it later. Your checkout pages will crash on upcoming releases. Your F5 key will break just as brainwash drops another picture of a Banana. You will lose battery power buying another edition 500 Fairey print of an oil derrick. Whatever, i promise you ..... dont risk it.. cleanse your soul for the next year today.
LISTEN - I believe SWOON is the heart and soul of what is left of the original group of artists that started the current Street scene. If you don't have $100 to support her you best not buy ANY OTHER ART for a whole year! YEP i said it. But you can Cleanse your soul here first..and then carry on snapping up all that art to store under your bed.
This is the anti brainwash ripoff, RETNA tantrum, Que jumping, Kuntrassesn hype building, Whatson bashing, cartel building, name calling ELIXER ...rid your conscience of all of this and support this Kickstarter campaign. RIGHT. NOW.
If you want multiple pieces just donate whatever higher amount and then send them a quick note asking for a Scarf, a print, a tile. They will get it sorted.
Send them a note saying you are from the board.. lets make in impact. PLEASE do THIS.

They just have to calculate the shipping individually. I contacted them yesterday and they responded within seconds and now I've supported something wonderful and have a gorgeous Swoon tile with my name on it eventually winging its way to Canada! YAY!

Holiday Presents, Soul Cleansing, Board Purification = SWOON, by daveart on Nov 13, 2015 15:19:44 GMT 1, I am very happy to see that the project was fully funded by the end of the campaign. Swoon has put herself out for others on this and i am happy others here joined in to help.. Most likely there is still a lot of hard work out there in front of this project and i hope they keep the momentum up to get this rolling.
