GO GO GO... NEW BANKSY UP!, by wimpy on Apr 1, 2010 15:25:02 GMT 1, The NBG Green is not showing as SOLD OUT...... April Fools joke by POW to get all of our hopes up
Seriously. What is the point of putting it on there other than to just mess with people?
If they were actually doing it as some kind of archive, they'd have put gray up also (plus however many other prints).

Mode2 ๐ฌ๐ง New Print Release โข Graffiti โข Street Artist, by wimpy on Apr 1, 2010 10:34:23 GMT 1, That is by far my favorite Mode2 print yet. It is a little more subtle, the title is perfect, and carries a completely different emotion than most of his other stuff for me.

Faile Print & Original Release, by wimpy on Apr 1, 2010 10:30:39 GMT 1, Fairplay the 10 ways remix looks amazing (wish I could afford one). Good work.
I can't really afford Faile anymore, either. 10 ways has always been on my top 5 of their images. Plus it has the "Glimmering Shadows" flag and the future Portugal "Cathedral" installation mixed in. It is like a 10 year Faile retrospective in itself - or a bit of past, present and future...

Your latest Art Purchase?, by wimpy on Mar 31, 2010 1:01:01 GMT 1,
The black ink they used makes the print. It is so thick and shiny that it almost looks like leather.

DFace โข Christina Aguilera "Bionic" Album Cover, by wimpy on Mar 29, 2010 11:29:39 GMT 1, Badly executed? They are drips. And I think the point is that it is this fancy, sharp type is dripping. A little bit of a play on a cliche and perhaps a commentary on Christina's life/attitude/personality/duality or whatever other artsy fartsy attachment you want to give it. Yes thats right, badly executed drips. Because they are drips can they not be badly executed? My reasons: I think the typography used doesnt suit the idea of drips alongside it.The drips to clean, (vector based). It would probably look ok if the drips were a little thicker, thats my opinion.
That is the point. He isn't using a mop or can. As far as the thickness, I'd say it is a good ratio compared to if he was.
It is the idea of the drips and not the drips themselves that matter.
Plus the length of them lead you right down to the album title. D* is a schooled graphic designer iirc, so I'm sure he thought of all that.
Anyhow, entitled to your opinion. I still love the cover.

RZA Artwork, by wimpy on Mar 29, 2010 7:06:17 GMT 1, Agree with both of you.
Reminds me of the Sopranos when Pauly had the pic of Tony and the horse turned into him being an old war general.

Faile Print & Original Release, by wimpy on Mar 23, 2010 18:54:31 GMT 1, For me, you can't compare Bast to Faile as I have a serious affinity for their women. Whether they're on horseback, desiring hanging bananas, devouring a bunny or simply shedding a tear, I am hopelessly devoted to them. Always have been. They're images are striking and beautiful. I don't find anything beautiful in Bast's work, but can appreciate what he does. you are such a horny guy
Who says it is a guy?

Faile Print & Original Release, by wimpy on Mar 19, 2010 20:51:27 GMT 1, This thread reminds me of Faile threads on here in early/mid 2007.
Let us see who is singing the same tune come the end of 2010 after everything else that was mentioned in their email.

Faile Print & Original Release, by wimpy on Mar 18, 2010 18:53:33 GMT 1, Not the most pretty Faile
I don't know. Those background layers are pretty intense. Whoever bought one MUST supply pics when they get it.

Going by the Faile formula, quite a bit more expensive than the last release.

Faile Print & Original Release, by wimpy on Mar 18, 2010 11:26:00 GMT 1, They have always gone by NYC time when releasing from the site in the past. It is 12 pm NYC for the release. Figure it out based upon that depending where you are. Good luck to all.

Window mount or float mount, by wimpy on Mar 16, 2010 17:09:02 GMT 1, I always tend to float mount in order to ensure that any fading due to light is consistent accross the whole of the print. I think you can reduce UV exposure significantly but you can't illimiate 100% with glass.
This is a nice reason to float.
As far as "showing deckle edges"... I don't get it. What is the fascination with it? Do you really think the deckle edge adds to the effect of one of these screenprints? If so, I think you already made your decision.
