Creased Print from POW, by dodge on Dec 31, 2007 16:40:18 GMT 1, Send it back mate. If it is not 100% perfect, you will think about it forever! The same thing happened with my last Micallef print from POW and they were brilliant about replacing it. E-mail them to make sure it is ok. They generally get back within a day.

Blek Le Rat Question., by dodge on Dec 30, 2007 11:03:17 GMT 1, Thanks for the pointers guys. Looks like I need to start saving for an elusive canvas, or perhaps the guys at BRP could enlighten? ;D

Blek Le Rat Question., by dodge on Dec 29, 2007 21:20:44 GMT 1, I wonder if the seller had some inside information from somewhere? I hope the Black Rat Press read this!

Blek Le Rat Question., by dodge on Dec 29, 2007 20:37:47 GMT 1, Yeah, I saw that one... nice colours. Not too keen on the image though. The astronaut one really appealed to me for some reason, don't know why.

Blek Le Rat Question., by dodge on Dec 29, 2007 20:29:19 GMT 1, A while ago I remember a guy selling a Blek canvas on ebay. It was an astronaut on a bright red background, a bit like the colours on Banksy's LIITA. Anyhoo...the seller said the canvas was going to be issued as a print. I have kept my eyes peeled but no print emerged. Black Rat Press have not answered my queries either
Does anybody have any insider knowledge?

Last of the LA Prints?, by dodge on Dec 30, 2007 11:09:55 GMT 1, I think that both prints are not to my tastes and are the weakest of the LA prints (despite the fact that 'SALE ENDS' is a big favourite) so will not be chasing either of those buggers.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Most people seem lukewarm on these prints but will still look to get them anyway because they are banksys.
I must admit, although I love his stuff, I haven't seen a Banksy print that I would hang on my wall since LIITA. I live in hope though.....
On the subject of the LA Prints, I can't understand what has taken so long. These are really old images by now and I seem to remember people talking about the same subject pre Christmas 2006

Haggling With Galleries...., by dodge on Dec 4, 2007 22:19:07 GMT 1, Thanks for the advice guys. Just bought a new car and haggled a great deal on it. I realise print buying is a lot different but I feel I have been bitten by the bug... ha ha. To get 10% off would be nice but it's a fair point about somebody else wanting it too. i don't want to miss out for the sake of ยฃ120!
Even I am not that cheap ;D

Haggling With Galleries...., by dodge on Dec 4, 2007 21:01:05 GMT 1, I have been thinking about buying a print from a gallery and was wondering about the protocol on haggling. All of my previous prints have been either bought online from POW etc or ebay.
Has anybody ever haggled with a gallery? If so, how much did you get knocked off the asking price?
Cheers in advance for the advice ;D

Newcastle Laz - Any further Info ??, by dodge on Nov 16, 2007 21:29:10 GMT 1, Playing it close to the vest...as usual. When the time is right I'm sure we will know the details. Can't wait.
Ditto. Salivating at the thought of this one. As usual, details seem pretty sketchy. Anybody heard of any rumours as to what artists will be producing prints/pieces?
If there are some decent potential purchases it will be nice queuing on the cold streets of Newcastle rather the cold streets of London

POW today..., by dodge on Oct 30, 2007 20:11:43 GMT 1, I wathced in anticipation from 8.30 this morning as POW began to update the site adding the various versions of trolies but could I bugger find an add to basket button and haven't seen one all day I had both IE and Opera running as Opera won't let me check out for some reason but it allows me to check updates quicker, and IE allows me to check out but doesn't allow me to reload automatically I'm well gutted - but well done to those of you that bagged one. My only hope is that it sits on your walls and not on the Bay MrH
Seconded, well done to all who got one. I was in a meeting all day and missed out....again!
Never mind, there is always next time.

GIWTBB Frame Jobs, by dodge on Oct 20, 2007 16:32:28 GMT 1, I have seen a few frame jobs for this print on here already but does anybody else have their's framed yet? I am looking for ideas on how to frame/mount this rabid beast of a print and am getting a bit sick of my usual black frame/white & thin black double mount.
Any ideas or photos?
Much appreciated

Creased GIWTBB, by dodge on Oct 20, 2007 16:16:21 GMT 1, Sounds like there are a lot of unhappy customers. The thought of having to wait an age to get it replaced is not a pleasant one.

Creased GIWTBB, by dodge on Oct 20, 2007 9:00:57 GMT 1, This site is a god send. My GIWTBB just arrived and like many other folks, has a big crease in the middle. Sob. Dead frustrating as this is the first Micallef I have managed to get my hands on without paying a small fortune on ebay.
Hopefully this will get sorted out. Such a pity as I can't wait to hang it. It's gonna take a monster frame though. This print is massive!

"Cooling of the Art Market", by dodge on Oct 16, 2007 9:42:40 GMT 1, Maybe the fallout of the subprime mortgage market will have an effect on the price of a cup of coffee now too. It is being blamed on everything else! I'm personally sick of hearing about this. If as the rumour goes the city don't give out bumper bonuses partly because of this, and the top end art market takes a dip - whoopy doo. There will still be a vast amount of affordable art and quality artists who won't stop churning out work just because of an economic cycle. At least it will bring the price of banksy pieces back down to earth. Sorry for going slightly off topic!
Amen to that, uksnowman.
