Just wanted to post here what a great bloke t.wat is and how great my new print by him looks. On another thread, I was saying how nice his 'Corporate Gangsters' print is and how it would look great next to VLH and the next thing I know, he has sent me one. Even the tube it came in was a piece of art...    Took it to the framers today. It will go nicely next to....   Worth reading this thread if you like his stuff - banksyforum.proboards82.com/index.cgi?board=ukartists&action=display&thread=29747&page=1 |

What a legend...Nice touch with the tubes too!
I'm impressed more and more by the people on this forum...Romanywg's secret santa, Rourke's giveaway, sacked sending people aquarium posters/books, the stash Dell sent me etc. etc.
I'll have to keep a list in case I actually get around to putting paint to paper this year so I can send some freebies

The only value to showing it next to VLH is to highlight how dreadful t**ts effort is. As piss poor as his name is infantile..
Worth just about what it cost you though.

This Forum sure is depressing more times than not.
Why do people feel the need to Bash on people so hard? Darren has done a thankyou thread to t.wat for his kindness and some of you feel the need to pointlessly slag off his work with no constructive criticism.
Mikeo and Freerange you need to grow up a bit, its people like you that are making this forum start to stink

stickee - you're right. It's no wonder this is known as the dark side more often than not  I think what t.wat has done is generous in the extreme (and I like the image as well BTW). I would be more than happy to have it in my collection next to a VLH, if only I had one and if PoW hadn't sent most of them out to their mates  ....... |

Great gesture by t.wat and I personally like the print. Good on you t.wat and Darren for being a gent a publicly saying thank you. I was lucky enough to get a freebie from Eyesaw last year, again sent at no cost to myself with Eyesaw even coughing up the postage. Keep up the good work guys ;D

H Will do. I have been quite vocal on here discussing how to frame my VLH and have decided on having the same as JBOY's. On my original thread above, it says that I took the T.WAT to the framers today. I tried to get a cheaper frame (Xmas costs etc.) from Ikea this morning but the size is a tad quirky for their frames. I have decided on a white frame with white mount. At the moment, I am thinking of putting those two on the same wall as Eelus - Cheeky Cherub as that has a blue background. However, it may get a bit overkill so will just move things around until I am happy. |

great to hear, i was down at ikea today...was mobbed-didnt know there was a sale on :/
check out habitat, they do this great frame, its gloss white and it has glass either side so you dont need a mount, its very nice...i got one that was broken and am waiting to take it back, but 2 of the 3 miss bugs pure evil mash up set are happily in them

It is a 50x70cm one which is good for alot of prints but the T.WAT is 53cmx63cm so I was looking for a 50cmx60cm which is not standard. |

the glass one, just checked...they do a 60X80, but if you tried TCR habitiat, i think i got all of them from there, and when i called the 02 center to try and get a replacement they said they had none in stock, which i do not believe because they had loads when i was there the day before :/

I know the habitat frames, be careful about the print sticking to the glass! If you want to custom frame and mount yourself, you can do it for around £20 by buying all necessary bits from many websites.

i dont think it really matters how much the frame costs as long as the end product looks great...
