"KANYE Loves KANYE" Controversial signed by Scott Marsh 4/25, by pcant on May 24, 2016 7:12:45 GMT 1, I am torn. On one hand, this is what's wrong with the urban art scene today (a digital print of a trite wall piece offered for absurd amounts of money with a ludicrous sales pitch). On the other hand, this is clearly weapons-grade trolling, so bravo to having the stones to post this with a straight face. Hey, welcome to the Forum. You might not find anyone to take this off your hands for the price of a Mercedes C-class, but stick around and you might find some art that is actually entertaining and that you might want to hang on your wall. (If I am wrong, and you are actually serious, well... damn.)

Anyone else getting bored by urban art?, by pcant on May 23, 2016 4:06:29 GMT 1, I honestly get kinda burned out on the forum, the endless fighting about which artist is being hyped or is great or is being flipped or is garbage ("No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" etc...) or whatever. Too many threads descend into nastiness, in my humble. However, I still find great art on the streets, great art that makes me stop and go back for another look. "Urban" art is far too broad a topic to be boring overall, but if you don't like what's in the galleries, or on the massive sanctioned mural, then go down the alley next to the big sanctioned piece, or in another part of town, and I imagine you'll find great art that is still being made for art's sake, not for the hits, or the sales, or the masses. Always go down the alleys, instead of the boulevards, and you'll find the unknowns, the creators. Doesn't even mean that the murals can't be awesome or inspiring, but something about getting approval that takes the edge off it, makes it too shiny. Anyway, my two cents.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by pcant on May 22, 2016 20:03:06 GMT 1, some mid to late 90's shep stickers (quite large at 10x16 inches) -hand pulled over old Oakland Tribune Newspaper stickers Even more special now because the Oakland Tribune is no more. It's now just a small weekly offshoot of what's now called the East Bay Times. Newspaper consolidation dumps another historic masthead.

Jean-Michel Basquiat ๐บ๐ธ Brooklyn, New York โข Graffiti Art , by pcant on Mar 25, 2016 7:51:06 GMT 1, My two cents worth: Screen prints feel more like something someone "made" as opposed to popped out of a printer. And for something simple like this (that's not a criticism, just about the image creation) you're looking at 4 screens, it'll be relatively easy and look sharp, I would think. (Or do 3 screens and hand-finish the brass knuckles) Or cut all the stencils and spray up some canvases.
Giclees can be awesome, for sure, but ultimately they're great photos.

Eelus original edition 25, by pcant on Feb 25, 2016 5:54:20 GMT 1, I've got a pink version, one of my all-time favorites, best of luck with the sale. Someone must need a bit of classic Eelus on their wall.
