Another banksy in new york ? , by bsimkin on Mar 21, 2018 19:43:48 GMT 1, you really don't like him do you? Why not? what has he done to piss you off so much? I don't think anyone is proclaiming banksy to be the new messiah, though he is a bit of a naughty boy. But a lot of us do like him, have liked him for 10 + years. i don't know what he does to piss people off? I used to get the grafitti tagger type dudes calling him names, art fag I think was one? and i get people calling him a vandal for drawing on walls if he retired tomorrow and just wrapped it up and called it a day, and lets say for whatever reason all his art value dropped to zero, i'd still have enjoyed what he has done and given. i haven't got that from any other artist I am not even that much of a fan boy i just don't get the hate I’m not pissed off. I love the enthusiasm for Banksy. I just think saying his popularity hasn’t dropped since exit through the gift shop came out is a bit ridiculous.
Jimbo, id love to buy some banksy prints at 08 prices since you claim his popularity peaked then. What do you got available In line with the prices at the height of his fame. Thanks!

Fake 🇳🇱 Amsterdam Street Art • Manuel Seikritt, by bsimkin on Jan 27, 2018 15:08:36 GMT 1, Thank you for your contribution, highflyer. Such an honor to get a reply from a classic UAA troll. Not sure why you're having a go at me but anyway. You're the troll.
You go out of your way to mock my for sale post and that somehow makes you the victim? Seriously, you really are the jerk you make yourself out to be. If you have no interest in this piece then ignore the post that simple. Maybe consider using that logic for every other post you have the urge to insert yourself in with nothing of value to contribute.

Bast FRAMED, by bsimkin on Jan 20, 2018 16:45:02 GMT 1, Nice pick up! One of my favorite pieces I own. Welcome to the Piggy club. [b I think Dappy has one, who are the other 5 members?
A while back we did a head count and it turned out like 6 of them belonged to forum members. Not sure who still has theirs but definitely dappy was one. Love how bast worked in the print ‘Dusty’ too with the sand background

Martin Whatson • Tiger Print, by bsimkin on Nov 23, 2017 16:16:43 GMT 1, Already on eBay £600. Fuckers.
Be patient. In a few years time you'll be able to gobble up most his prints below cost.

New Faile Block Print , by bsimkin on Nov 22, 2017 20:01:00 GMT 1, Looks like the colors are close (more muted/earthy?) to the original from their Library Street Collective show this summer. Looked awesome in person.

RE iPhone 11.1.2 iOS update ? Can you uninstall ?, by bsimkin on Nov 20, 2017 15:05:59 GMT 1, Golden rule with any apple update is wait at least two weeks before installing it. I reckon Apple do this stuff on purpose to mess with their customers as it happens every time. Not sure what they get out of it, but putting out crap updates doesn't seem to harm their profits.
Forced phone upgrades is what they get out of it. Briliant business model and even better when its time around a new phone release

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by bsimkin on Oct 13, 2017 18:26:14 GMT 1, Hands off, the Popeye is mine. Been refreshing that page for the past 2 hours (slow work day). Don't know how much longer I can take it. You think they'll drop some Pizzoli or Mickeys at some point? Back of the line amateur hour... I been on it since 9am this morning and still nothing. I’m about ready to send a begging message to Dora. Probably not there now anyway. You think your trigger finger can defeat me? Waaaahhh, Huah, Huah. Bazinggzingzinnggg

POW CLOSING DOWN - SALE ENDS 31ST DECEMBER 2017, by bsimkin on Oct 12, 2017 16:15:31 GMT 1, Would be smart(?) on pow if they only drew emails that made previous purchases on the site. Could help weed out the influx of entries. That's just my dream. But excited no less for the chance at a banksy at cost entitlement at its finest Or you could look at it another way: 1) them acting on the stringent measures they mention on the form page and 2) giving back to the people who supported POW over the years. Either way, happy for the chance and good on them for not pulling a Laz on this. Just my 2 cents. take them for what its worth..

A.CE, Where can you buy Prints?, by bsimkin on Oct 11, 2017 18:34:09 GMT 1,
What do you think of the art by A.CE ? This piece at Stolenspace looks nice. Anyone else here a fan of his work? Do you know any other places online that sell his prints or originals? www.stolenspace.com/product/rainflower/ This image has been around for a good 6+ years now (in other colorways). If that's any indication of his 'progression,' I have nothing more to add about his work. Agree with the other poster that he is a Bast wannabe. To each their own of course.

Inside Art Collectors Homes, by bsimkin on Sept 29, 2017 15:02:06 GMT 1, Thanks, Eric. I'm really pleased with how the wall turned out. Always nice to get some validation from an artist. I'm surprised I've seen so few Provocateur prints framed, too. It's an underrated image imo; feel like the Fragments of Faile era doesn't get enough love for it's more simplified, text-less compositions. Faile obviously still has heart for it as they just put a wall up of this image on the building of their alma mater (Minneapolis College of Art and Design)

Paddle8 Auctions 🇺🇲 BANKRUPT , by bsimkin on Sept 15, 2017 16:27:48 GMT 1, Does anyone have the results for the Invader LED and Banksy rat that Laz just sold on Paddle8? Prices without premiums would be great. 7600 plus 20% for the led rat think he ended with 1 bid You wouldn't happen to know what the Hypnosis ended at?

Invader LED Print, by bsimkin on Sept 15, 2017 13:45:16 GMT 1, Got the print and the art police does not approve, plus my financial outlook does not look rosy. I'm interested in a quick sell, if you want to buy please PM me. I'm actually starting to have a bit of respect for the flippers who are up front about what they are doing rather than these 1st post wonders with see through excuses who are trying to avoid fees on fleabay.
Or he's just using the older flipper trick of 'my wife/spouse/girlfriend hates it' cloaked in self pity. Maybe she didn't like it, but her inner opportunist said to him 'but honey, if we can make 4k on it , that gives us enough to go to bora bora this winter'

Give it a rest..., by bsimkin on Sept 1, 2017 17:35:56 GMT 1, Curtis Kulig. Just stop it with all the Love Me variations. The very definition of 'One Trick Pony'
Same goes for many artists recently rereleasing their most popular images year after year (They know who they are)
Oh and Whatson's faux graffiti scribbles.

New Pose "Doll" green, by bsimkin on Aug 23, 2017 16:13:34 GMT 1, What is the problem? For the last edition, the code had been shared and it had shocked no one! i will try to do better at voicing my shock for all things that happen on the internet. it's not that much to ask to share via PM if you so choose and to not post publicly. its been discussed ad nauseam on this forum. Soupy, extraball is just embracing that Trump mentality that's sweeping the nation. I get the feeling that 'Nothing Shocking' by Jane's Addiction is becoming the anthem of this generation.

Is FAILE over?, by bsimkin on Aug 10, 2017 18:03:37 GMT 1, In other interesting Faile related news: They are opening a permanent bar/installation of Deluxx Fluxx (with Bast) in Detroit run by Shepard Fairey. Said to be opening sometime next Spring. I don't usually wet my pants over many things, but I will be driving out there for this in a heartbeat. Mojo restored.
