Plenty of Artists revisit images. Look at Banksy and Rats for instance. 

That is a stretch.

If you are happy with it, what does my opinion matter? As I said, Baker is a fine artist whose work I have on my wall as we speak. Only wish this particular edition was something a bit fresher. I retain hope another edition is forthcoming. 

I know the internet is not the best at conveying mood, but I was just trying to have a friendly debate, part of the reason for joining this forum. Your point of view is valid and I respect it, I just have a different one. Ps. you'll need a thicker skin in here, it can get ugly real quick.

Agreed Litho, but easier for you to flip than a A Dog with "Cnut Struck" written on it.

Did you get stuck with a Cunt Struck Bob?

[Poster Bob]

Well, the "unique" aspect certainly helps but I won't be buying any of this B grade garbage. Ol' Bobby is broke as a joke after all of those Hirst prints.

Me too dude. He was good enough to draw me a version with a Sharpie when we met once.

Still for sale? Would be very much interested? 😳🙏🥂

Edition size just increased to "around 100"

[shy]

I really like Charming Baker and feel he is an important artist for his time, but he remains underrated or undervalued.... and I don't see that changing in any way.

I’m selling my Charming Baker Live Everyday Like you Hair’s so Fire.

I bought it directly from Jealous at the 2011 show and it has been hanging on the wall in the same place since it was delivered - away from direct sunlight - so perfect condition. I’m happy to send picture if interested it is 8 or 35.

£4K plus delivery from Oxford though I would prefer it was picked up. I’ve attached a link from Jealous outlining the work.

Loved half pint, was quite excited by the idea of a 1/1 Baker, but very underwhelmed by the result.

All 57 look a bit meh...don't see a ton of effort in them, especially when compared to some of the better pink / gold half pint backgrounds

Not exciting enough to pre-buy, but will def pop over and see them

Not a fan of revisiting an earlier concept, especially 57-100 times over. Would prefer a progressive work, if not at least new. Btw these look huge, gonna be a bugger to frame one.

If had the cash in the art fund I’d buy one of these but I can’t help but think just the panda head alone loses something special. The half pint IS the panda head set against the human part. As much as I love the panda head alone the two together make the image what it is. Just my meandering thoughts though.

I know what you mean. Even the the stripey shirt adds so much to the image. 

[nighthawk]

I don't think anyone buying one of these will be disappointed, as a lot of work went into making each one unique! Personally, I love the silver "floral" backgrounds

I agree with much of this (not the bit about buying one if I had the cash though). The half pint is a fabulous image (don’t own one). The juxtaposition between the human form and the panda head is what makes it so pleasing. Much like rabbits with targets. These look to me to be floating cuddly toy heads. I am usually a fan of his work. Fucker for example is wonderful (don’t own one), to name but one. Not so much a fan of these.

this pretty much nails it right on for me. i do like the ones with the pink/colored background but then the size of these are huge.

I might be there if I can find the will to make the trip.

Hi everyone

I have a Charming Baker 'Study for a Portrait of an unknown woman' for sale

Archival Inkjet with a 1 Colour Silkscreen and Varnish Overlay
Hand Finished with Acrylic on Somerset Satin Enhanced 330gsm Paper
deckled edges
limited edition of 80
ca 76cm x 94cm
never framed, stored flat

Now the catch:
It got damaged during a recent move. The bottom left corner has suffered most. There is also a dent on the bottom right side, just next to the number / stamp.
There are a few other scruffs but those are more difficult to see. The top part has not suffered, same for the motif which is pristine.

I marked the pictures, please have a look.

Wanted to take it to Graham Bignell but given my limited wall space and the pile of stuff which is yet to go up on the wall this is pretty unlikely to happen and I offer this at a nice discount if someone is interested. From what I remember those were 720GBP at release and sold out at 900gbp. Needless to say I look for much less than that. PM me to discuss.

Not the most active member but made a few purchases here. London based.

Thanks!
