Sickboy 'Wheelie Bins'

[poppa]

Gotta love these - hand painted too



Sickboy has announced the release of a limited edition collection of original, hand-painted replicas of his most iconic street work — the wheelie bin. Based on a decade’s worth of the artist’s street activities, each replica model is an exact reproduction of the original work as it appeared on real wheelie bins worldwide. Produced in red and bearing the artist’s signature Temple logo in McDonald’s colours, these replicas offer a rare chance to own a piece of Sickboy’s street art history. Produced in a highly-collectable run of 20, each boxed wheelie bin has been individually hand-painted by Sickboy and is presented with a signed and dated photo-print of its on-street counterpart.

Sickboy said: “Wheelie bins are my favourite surface to paint on. The shape of the temple fits perfectly, and the classic red issue colour of the bins was like a gift from above. Trying to paint something pretty on a vestibule for public waste was what drove the obsession. Over the years I have amassed an interesting collection of photographic documentation of my wheelie bin work, and the best of these have been revisited for this project.”

Ah man, they're great!

Beat me to it!

These look pretty tasty, the idea of the photo showing the original bin is great.

I have to agree with you on that. Not only do they look great the photo of the original bin is a really smart idea. Will look perfect next to my love temple.

Nice size at 19.5cm high x 16cm wide. wonder if all the detail from the original will be there?

[Daniel Silk]

Brilliant! Love them.

Very small edition lets hope he does another bigger edition similar.

why post a link that was intended for the people on the mailing list?

[shower]

Nice piece, I snoozed and I 'loozed'!

[agent provocateur]

Love'em... as said previously great to get a photo of the original bin as well.

Not really sure what Silky's on about wanting another larger edition tho! Seems a weird thing to say when these haven't even been officially announced (I did get the mailing list email).

Better chance of everyone that wants one getting one Only 20 lucky people got their hands on these.

So you would prefer everything to be an open edition?

[shower]

I missed out on one but am not bothered by the edition size at all. In fact I like that its small, it means 20 people got a nice gem. You cant have every single artist flooding the market with editions in the hundreds!

Keep editions small I say and allow for people to actually have different pieces in their collections!

Would have been nice if people hadn't gone public with a private subscribers only link.

Might be a nice idea

Would you like the new Banksy print to be an edition of 10?

Doesn't matter what I would like its up to the artist to decide what edition size to do things

and if thats what he wanted to do then so be it

Scale won't be right, but I agree the effect will be
