Dolk Still Rising , by nah on Jun 27, 2013 0:19:26 GMT 1, You should remember that forum members are in 2.5 % percent which buy stuff firstly: We all here create trends in street art: check out Martin Whatson or Stik, We can pay more and have a lot more fun for buying art and keeping eye on it than 97.5 percent rest: So guys... stop find next banksy We can create a next banksy together here and rest of the market will accept it we're good at creating temporary ebay based bubbles but beyond that? lurk here long enough and you see the same cycle happening over and over. if what you're saying was true we'd all be rich off the kaws and os gemeos canvases we never bought

Art Collectorz, by nah on Jun 14, 2013 19:40:10 GMT 1, site is really well made, a pleasure to browse. similar territory to EB, but this still feels like it's filling a gap.
my criticisms would be;
a) the name - feels rather dated b) i understand you're still adding work but for a site that wants to list "all editions" it seems heavily biased towards the sort of work discussed on this forum. if i was to make a site like this the first publishers i'd harvest data from are the likes of Gemini G.E.L., Crown Point Press and U.L.A.E. - the real heavyweights of printmaking. this early on, being more selective would add credibility to the project imo

Dolk Evolution and Crown at Art Republic, by nah on Jun 5, 2013 14:40:28 GMT 1, If you are selling a print that was just released for more than cost from source, you are not a partner but a flipper. Having a gallery/name just makes it sound legit but no difference from buying one off ebay. #REALTALK id argue there are situations where the line is blurred. eg if your gallery has agreed to buy a number of everything a printhouse releases (flippable or not - imagine this would be quite mutually beneficial), or if you put money towards initial printing costs, or if you're selling the artist's share of the prints like postersandtoys do with Horkey

Dolk Evolution and Crown at Art Republic, by nah on Jun 5, 2013 12:37:19 GMT 1, I don't really understand how what they are doing is at all different to all the other flippers out there. They're selling a very recently released print which they don't yet have in their possession for an inflated price. Am I missing something? I guess the biggest difference is that HMP would have agreed for AR to sell them for whatever reason (I assume?). maybe art republic helped fund the printing or something? not sure how these things work or why HMP wouldn't keep them all for themselves. unless they literally just have one or two of each and it's a straightforward flip, but I would have thought theyre operating at a higher level than that

New Mr Brainwash just kidding, by nah on Jun 2, 2013 13:15:16 GMT 1, is that why people buy his rubbish prints then, i know he got famous quickly with the madonna picture. But i dont think many people knew him before then Possibly? With Banksy being the keen prankster that he is, it's not a leap to imagine the whole Brainwash thing is a gag. It makes you think of the Banksy "Morons" image. I think I lean that way because the alternative is that Mr Brainwash is a serious artist. I think some people buy his work because; 1) They love the work. 2) He's an infectious character. 3) Some of it is fun. 4) It might be a nice investment. 5) If Banksy is later revealed to be involved, then the aesthetic and financial value will improve. 6) Nearly ever artist that has worked with Banksy goes on to enjoy some of the hype that surrounds him/her. 7) I have nothing for 7. yeah i'm sure there are plenty thinking (or hoping) it's banksy pulling the strings even at this late stage but i'd be shocked if that was the case. crosses too far into the line of making actual victims out of people

What The Hell Happened To BANKSY?, by nah on May 12, 2013 13:47:58 GMT 1, To be honest I'm personally not that bothered. The scene is rapidly evolving and has changed direction a lot in the last three years. Artists like phlegm, Aryz and Blu have taken things to new levels in my opinion. To my cynical tired eyes, a black and white stencil piece placed down the side of a dingy canal somewhere almost pails into insignificance when compared to the epic, fantastical, vivid, colourful and imaginative murals that some artists are producing on a grand scale these days. Art has moved on, Banksy has moved on, he's certainly no longer a leader. There are plenty of great artists out there producing excellent works that have a far higher degree of skill and execution than Banksy ever managed at his peak. It's a shame but unless you're in the POW VIP club then you probably won't see another new Banksy print for a very long time, not that that matters too much as DOLK is currently out Banksying Banksy, according to some. He also probably got sick of people calling him Mr B? artists like aryz are in coexistence rather than competition with guys like banksy. unfair to criticize one for not being like the other - saying banksy's work is behind the rest because it isn't fantastical and vivid enough is like saying phlegm's work is behind the rest because it doesn't have a succinct political message. their work done under different circumstances with different goals

Eelus or Bnaksy??, by nah on May 11, 2013 11:34:19 GMT 1, Would people's views change if these were the same value? I think the Eeelus would then get more votes. probably - it's got a cheap and instantly gratifying aesthetic appeal in a "look at all the pretty colours" sort of way. i'd say with both on the wall nola would stay interesting for far longer though.

New Swoon print up $75! Edition of 100, by nah on Apr 24, 2013 16:29:19 GMT 1, I had to pay an unexpected ยฃ17.91....not happy about that. The post office said that if you get the tax refunded then they will refund the admin. The tax levied is incorrect I think in any event. might be wrong but i thought there's no tax break when it comes to inkjets?

GRAFFITI PRNTS PRESENTS - A.CE DUCK EDIT 2013, by nah on Apr 16, 2013 13:08:50 GMT 1, surely your point becomes moot when you show bast drawing inspiration from so many different places? to me that's part of what makes his work so appealing; he chews up all the culture in his proximity and spits out the garbled result. not the first to do so, but his work is unmistakably his with ace we're just getting a second hand interpretation of that process. what's more (assuming he's never lived in NYC) it means his work is inherently a representation of a culture he isn't familiar with. and swapping a pan am logo for a evening standard one doesn't quite change that (though it did make me laugh) I think my points been clearly made. Spin it how you wish. We all can justify levels or right or wrong to prove our case. My point was all artists are influenced. Some are more clever about it. with respect your point feels redundant, particularly in the case of warhol - what artists (even in this scene alone) haven't benefited from his groundwork? his fingerprints are all over the place, including on that koons piece. the difference is that banksy, kaws, bast, d*face, fairey and so on take his influence and move it to different places, some more successfully than others. they make it theirs; that's how things moves forward. aces work doesnt even make an attempt to do that, which is why the reaction is so negative

New Swoon print up $75! Edition of 100, by nah on Apr 13, 2013 21:38:40 GMT 1, I've no clue what the above means? They can't just print another 100 or so in (say) July if it takes their fancy surely? That's not limited, it's open if we fancy it? not sure what the confusion is? giclees are usually printed 'on demand' as the orders come in - that's their biggest benefit over other printing methods, you dont need to do the whole run in advance. there was going to be 150, now there's only going to be 100 due to the typo. couldnt have been handled more professionally, honestly
